sat nav

[dan-the-man]

I'm thinking of getting sat nav for my stilo and my budget is £250, I don't need it for european roads just UK.

Any suggestions? argos are selling the tomtom one for £250 it seems like a decent piece of kit, but as I'm new to this kind of thing any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers

Ever thought of getting sat nav through a mobile phone? I am in the process of buying(Ebay) a nokia smartphone, bluetooth gps receiver and software all in all around £150

not really because i just upgraded my phone yesterday, also my step-dad would want to borrow it when he goes away so i thought it would be better to get a sat nav system.

I've got a TT ONE it's a brill piece of kit,so easy to use and it's not got me lost yet.It's a more handy shape to carry around than the 300,500 or 700 as well.The only drawback is that it doesn't come with a home-charger only one for the socket in the car.I'd recommend it to anyone

Done that two weeks ago, was desperate to get rid of my SE and get back to Nokia but wanted to stop getting lost so grabbed a great bundle of the 'bay, 6600, GPS Receiver, in-car holder and hands free kit plus TT5 on a 256MB and a bluetooth dongle. All in at £125, watch the auctions and get a bundle cheaper than £150 can be done just don't be too hasty, I waited around a month before getting the right one.

does the tomtom one come with a speed camera detector? and can it be updated cheaply (free)?

im getting the tomtom one tomorrow, for £212

it dont come with a speed camera detector, but a Data base which is pretty much accurate

you do have to pay for the latest one (much to everyones annoyment) but im sure you can find it on P2P somwhere :chin:

I can't wait when on ebay (I fish so normally have plenty of patience!)

I too just got a 6600 brick! but I can't seem to play back my mp3 of crazy frog as a ringtone .

Also I know every road in Sutherland and a good part of Ross-shire I will only use it as sat nav once in a while like on holidays and business trips, and just fancied a change in phone.

Forgot to quote the text by liam first!

ive got a navman icn 520 and i find it very good. paid £350 for it last summer but you can now get it for £199 or less probably!

Thats a shame. I have just sold my navman pin570 on ebay for £165 as i now have tomtom built into my alpine system. was a good sat nav tho. I do recomend it. It also comes with free downloadable cameras and is also a pocket pc.
