TomTom. Much easier to use.
For £200 you'll get one that'll do europe.

Been looking for one for Dad sub £200. He wants it with Bluetooth and Euro maps. Only one that fitted the bill was the Garmin 760:

Get a tomtom one Europe XL for under £150.
People that have navmans will say, get a navman.
If they have Garmins, they'll say, get a garmin..... theres bugger all difference between them tbh

I was impressed, almost as fast and easy to use as my inbuilt one.

I have a TomTom and my Dad has a Garmin. Both do the job. Garmin is thinner than my TomTom but guess thats cos I got mine a few years ago.

Last year I got a Tomtom 1 with european maps easy to use and gets us through Germany just fine 
Had use of a Garmin through work and even though its not what you can call bad its no where near ergonomic or visually as good as the tomtom

From working with them and selling them for about 3 years, I'd say get a TomTom or Garmin - there are extremely small differences between the two tbh.
I wouldn't get a Navman at all, I'd rather a map - the reliability is very poor, they are slow moving through screens and generally no where near as intuitive as the other two leading brands.

That's true, but my mate has an F series Navman and it's not as good as my dad's N series. I still preferred them over the TomTom though, but haven't used a Garmin.

not all models of tomtoms with bluetooth are for handsfree. the basic models have bluetooth just so u can use the 'tomtom service' such as weather, traffic etc

screw tomtom, if you want real GPS Garmin is the way, i got the Garmin nuvi for £100 and itll do pretty much all europe as it would britain. If it goes wrong you can take it back with no hassle and they give you a new one, tom tom charge you to fix it. Garmin do all types of GPS and supply the SAS i think.
