Title: Which Sat Nav
Post by: Anonymous on March 26, 2008, 15:07
Any recommendations on a budget of say under £130.

I've looked at a Navman F10 all sorts of Tom Toms etc but they all seem to offer much the same. Its only needed for the UK so no need for Euro maps.

Is it worth getting one with Blue Tooth so that a hands free can be used.

I'd go for Tom Tom - because I have one. Bluetooth not very good using internal speaker though, quiet at both ends.

I tell you what, Pixmania are doing some brill deals on satnavs at the moment. I think a tomtom one is £117 for a UK version. As far as these things go, and yes we have spoken about them on another thread at length, for this price, its a no brainer. So to see what people think of the various kit, have a look at the sat nav thread and then have a shop for the one you fancy.  s:) :) s:)

Isn't one of the High Street electrical stores dng the Tom Tom 720 for 170 quid atm? I'd pay the extra few quid and get one of those cos it's about £90 less than rrp and looks an excellent piece of kit

Don't know about the 720, but here's the 520T for £140:

Apparently the 520 is identical to the 920, but comes with a smaller SD card (so a colleague tells me, who just picked one of these up).

Bluetooths a good option as it could save your licence. Tomtom the i used to have. Also downloaded some software that lets you  convert Autoroute routes into into tomtom routes. Which is handy if your looking for a good driving route.
