Aldi-Personal Navigation Assistant with Integrated GPS Receiver

noelski_2

Hi People,

Have a look at https://www.aldi.co.uk

This looks really good. I've been looking for a system like this for a while and was thinking of getting a TomTom Go 300 or 500.

Do people know if the Aldi machine can do postcode to postcode searches. What do people think of this machine? Has it been on sale before and have you bought it?

Thank you for your time

Dunno about the aldi one but ive just bought an acer n35 with intergrated gps from https://www.ebuyer.co.uk for £199. It uses destinator 3 software and ive only used it for 2/3 weeks but i think its great......and you get a pda!

I think this device is pretty much the same as the Navigon Bluemedia Navigator. Review here. http://www.itreviews.co.uk/h748-navigon-bluemedia-pna-150-review.htm

And less favourable here http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/review.php?reviewId=863

There are a few cosmetic differences but overall it looks to be the same.

is this aldi gps really that bad?

if it does a similar job to the £370 odd tomtom go then its ok isnt it? (i missed out on currys deal darn it)

can you add the speed camera database to this?

Sounds more like a simple pda than a proper GPS navigator.

great thing about aldi is you can return it pretty easy if you dont get on with it

I got one of the Aldi sat-navs last time they were on offer and my husband was delighted with it. Same ones were in Halfords too at a higher price. I don't know if these latest ones are the same but last time they sold out really quickly.

Aldi sell loads of Medion products and they fly off the shelves.
