The Widescreen version of the Navigo is now reduced to an unbelievable price:

I bought mine few weeks ago (when at its full price:mad:) but no regrets as I have TomTom, MioMap and iGO8 installed on widescreen which is superb.
Highly recommended.

I ordered the navigo on monday at full price, noticed on tuesday they had reduced the price by fifteen quid so phoned them (0871 number:mad: ) and asked them to match the price for my order and they did..................result:j. Phone call was less then 4 minutes so even taking this into acount still saved money.:D

For anyone looking for a good price on any of the "top name" models (e.g. TomTom, Garmin and Sony) it may be worth trying Halfords for a price match.

From jon_r's recommendations above (and my own past experience of Garmin's excellent customer service) I decided to get a Garmin Nuvi 250W to replace my aging TomTom.

Found the cheapest online price (£129.99 from The Link) and then asked my local Halfords if they would price match. Although their official company policy is to price match only in-store prices, they agreed to anyway (saving £10).

At the moment, Garmin seem to be a lot cheaper than TomTom if you want a receiver with both Europe maps and an SD card slot (which, unless changed in the V4 models, the basic TT One does not have).

Advert for Comet on tv this evening and they have the TomTom Europe for £119 and they said that includes traffic updates. I can't see one on their site that mentions traffic updates but is this a good deal ?

Probably V3 tomtom

I have been looking for a sat nav which covers europe as well as the uk.

I have no idea really what im looking at in terms of technical stuff and need help.

I want one that lets you know when there are problems with traffic en route and also speed camera alerts. Also im sure ive read that even if you buy a europe one you need to buy a card or software in addition?!

Are the tom tom ones better? I just want one that i can plug in and go!

PLEASE HELP

TomTom are great, so simple to use.

You either need to buy the "safety" camera update annually OR buy the "traffic" model.

I DON'T KNOW THIS BUT, I suspect that if you buy the "traffic" model, you prob need to buy the safety camera updates after the first year.
Can anyone advise on this?

Sorry!!! Got a bit confused with the picture on Amazon which appeared to show a Sat nav system. However in the Amazon sale Sat Navs start at £49.98 with free delivery. Here's the link for the cheapest.
