looking for an In Car GPS system, around the £350 mark, something similar to this by halfords:


Has anyone got any recomendations, that they think is good?
It needs to be able for me to plug a post code (grid OS) and be able to direct me to it!

thats ugly as sin mate

no, you can get the software Tom Tom (which runs on that ^) for symbina mobiles and PDAs if you have either of those, it will save you a fair bit in mulla (especially if you know where to get Tom Tom from )

Im sure that the bundled Tom tom gps reciever also acts as a dongle so u cant just use the software with any GPS adaptor.
