Sat Nav Advice (1 Viewer)

[combi]

I am looking to enter the modern era by putting away my maps and highlighter pens and buying a sat nav.
Funds are fairly limited after having to pay for my damp repairs. So any advice would be much appreciated.
Many thanks

Hi I like the Garmin as to tom tom but that's just my preference - Do a ebay search some Garmin nuvi with euro maps for £64 from pc world outlet :thumb:-remember to upgrade to the latest maps within a few months-only basic models but well up-to the job :thumb: unless you want the latest all singing/dancing jobby

I have a tom rom xxl bought after loads of research.

I didnt want a monthly subscription
or upadates on traffic

This model is great...all of europe and a large screen
also speed trap alerts....very useful and good value at £118

and really like it ..........but dont totally put away your maps
use it in conjuction with maps to get the best out of it .

Its great but not perfect..

I have not updated the maps......on purpose
but have added various POIs.

I was recommended the tom tom with the larger screen and have found it to be easy to use and I thought good value.

By all means buy the satnav, but don't throw away the only means you have of checking to see what mistakes it's making.

I was given a Tomtom XL Live for my retirement, used it to travel down to Spain last year, If I didnt have it, I would have to relie on the wife's directions we would have finished god knows where:thumb::thumb::thumb:

Know the feeling Ray, I use Google maps on a smart phone and check out maps before going away. Works well but is expensive if using abroad as you have to have a 3G signal and use data minutes.
Borrowed a TomTom last year when we went to Germany (borrowed the motorhome as well) and it was great. You can download a list of Aires and Stellplatz straight into the unit which is very handy. (I expect you can do that with other makes too).
If you don't want live traffic I find RAC traffic on the smartphone useful, although it can be a bit slow to update, and it's free.
Happy travelling:thumb::thumb:
