    Just tried to get one of these, but gave up when we couldn't locate the Tescos.

    Awful joke!

    It's been reported elsewhere that this is in Tesco Extra stores only.

    That makes sense, as my local 'normal' Tesco hasn't stocked SatNavs for a couple of years now, apart from the odd one now and then.

    Customer Services will have looked at the shelf edge label which says £89, but when you scan it in it says £59, I bought at the Watford branch and they had loads.

    many thanks i managed to get one from watford this evening too:beer:

    But WHY OH WHY do people phone up Customer Services and ask them If the "price glitch" is working in their store????

    Grabbit while you can - Before they realise their mistake.
  • This is a great Sat nav, I got mine at £85 just after Christmas and currently still hacked off having seen it in store the other day for £59.95 (Wigan one fyi)

    The maps are upto date and you can upgrade the software to the new version on their website.

    I have had a Becker system for the last 3 years and swear by it, I had to upgrade to this one after my new car wouldn't take my old cd system version. The tmc option didn't work in the uk on my old system, so I have never missed it.

    Becker systems are used by many of the top manufactures such as Mercedes, Porsche, Aston Martin, etc.

    I really can't praise Becker enough, (I'm not an employee) just someone who has never been let down by the mapping.
