Recommended Posts

Right gents, I need a new sat nav as mine is at deaths door, it keeps coming up with black and white vertical lines on the screen :sad1:

 

I need

a reasonably large screen (mines too small)

Simple to use,

Accurate.

Relatively loud as I'm as deaf as a post

 

I would like,

One that has a return trip button (mine always brings me back a different way)

Trailer / caravan setting so it doesn't take me where the trailer doesn't fit

Free upgrades,

Speed camera warnings

Reasonably priced as I'm not a gadget freak, it's just a necessity.

 

 

That's about it I think, any idea's ?

 

Used would do if anyone's selling one to upgrade.

I have a Garmin with a wide screen and very clear display. I can hear it clearly and I have bad hearing. It gives you a choice of up to three routes when it sorts out the destination.I tthink its this one. Not sure about caravan trailer settings as not used that.

Tomtom every time!

When I bought my most recent 2&1/2 years ago I got ...

Free map updates for life, because roads always change, as do speed cameras!

3years 'live', plans routes or diverts your route to avoid jams, works a treat in real time

European maps, I've used the euro maps loads, France Germany Poland Italy and each time it placed me exactly right, I have confidence in this device! Cost £200

 

I used a garmin once, it took me to the wrong place, only a 1/4 mile out but still wrong, never again!

Totally agree, I drive by satnav all day every day, I've tried garmin, and although easy to use they often tell you you've arrived at your destination when you're a mile away, I have built in sat nav in my car but still use my Tom Tom. Make sure you get lifetime updates and if traffic jams are an issue go for live traffic as well, it's brilliant but will cost £47/yr to update.
