New Sat Nav...which one....???

[Twinsetmad]

I've been think about treating myself to a new satnav... I have a Sony at the moment.. and its been good, not been through any fords....

I was wondering... do they do one that I can have the maps updated, by visiting the manufactures websites.. I work on building sites alot, and always seem to be off the map.

I'd like bluetooth..for the hands free bit.. not to bothered about traffic updates...widescreen yes..

any good ones, I should be considering, there is so many about now..?


Thanks Andrew

hello
i was running co pilot on a mda verio and hat was good and if you payed you were able to up date the maps but now i have got a rac 200 and it is not as good the trick seems to be buy one that picks up lots of saterlites as co pilot uses 24 and the rac only uses 8
i wish you good luckin findding one you like adrian (addive)

Hi Twinset mad,

We have the Garmin Nuvi - i believe the new Garmin has bluetooth (ours doesn't).

It does have an inbuilt MP3 player, so you can store music/e-books etc and if rigged correctly you can get it to play through your car stereo system.

You can go online for map updates - I think it has a slightly bigger screen than a tomtom - all in all - we're really pleased with it!

Good luck in your hunt!

Another vote for a Tom Tom, its so easy to use and its never let me down in the last 2 years.

The Tom Tom 520/720 is the best unit I've used and I've owned some crap ones over the years... £800 for SmartNav plus £150pa subscription

Which put the TomTom on the top of their 'best buys'.
