I am seeking a bit of sat nav info.
I have a old Garmin....but maps are out of date..so that is destined for the dustbin :thumb:
I had a Acer that did go into the bin not long after purchase
I have a Tom Tom one this has been a very good little sat nav..but it has now gone kaput died today..so that is destined for the binoh:
I still have a tom tom 1000 ..1 year old and a very good sat nav.
I have had both type of Sat nav's TT & Garmin and I do like Tom Tom ..BUT.. am I ready for a change!!!! not sure
So I am now looking for a second sat nav again to use in the Motorhome or as a backup and also to use in our other vehicle.
These are some of the Sat nav's I am looking at...I am wanting good and bad feedback..oh: if you own one please let me know what you think
Tom Tom Go live Camper & Caravan
Garmin dezl 560 lmt ( life time maps) for motorhomes/Caravans
Tom Tom 1005
Garmin Nuvi 3590 LMT (lifetime maps)
Or any other you would recommend and why
I have read a few negative reviews/reports on the Motorhome type sat nav's..saying they are a waste of time..from people that have purchased them.
This is one review from a FRENCH trucker (arctic) in France said in his review...when he came to a town, and the limit was below what he was allowed (limit 3.5 ton) but he needed to go in to deliver...his sat nav (for motorhome/caravan trucker) had problems in the town ...not giving him directions streets roads etc: because he had gone beyond what he was allowed on the info he had inputted at the start of the routeoh: WHY..is this true sounds daft...
So I am thinking should I or shouldn't I go for the motorhome type..or should I just go for a normal sat nav...
I have had very little problems in the past.. as long as you use your loaf...think! sensible.
Also quite a few negative reviews on the lifetime maps.....saying if it has to be repaired for what ever reason...then you loose the lifetime maps..... also if you have a battery change, you also loose the L/time maps
Also how long is a piece of string...meaning how long is the lifetime maps good for.. if Garmin change there mapping system oh:
So how long is sat nav battery good for....... how long would you want to keep a sat nav before you would want to up date for a newer model
