The navman 320 is pretty good exp for the price you are paying(£169)! Best going for tom tom 1 as the 300 is been replaced by the tom tom one, which has a better GPS signal! halfords sell the 320 for £169 tom tom one for £279 but if u look around you can get the tomtom one for £230ish and get them to price match it! Wouldn’t bother getting the tom-tom 300 as its been replaced in a month!

i have a navman PiN 570, its very good for the money, its a pda aswell which s what i wanted, and all built in with the gps airel so you can use it when walking about too. i had a tom tom with a HP pda before and i feel the navman is just as good if not better than that, i like the way the navmsn software works better than the tom tom, but the tom tom does update a little bit faster and there are more POI's availabe for it without having to mess about.

Get a smartphone.
GPS Reciever ~£50
512mb Mini SD card ~£15
TomTom Software Free 
Save yourself £150 and save lugging that big bastard thing stuck to your dash and have a phone and a satnav in your pocket.

I work in halfords and my favorite is the little Garmin i3  Its surprisingly good for such a small unit. Also does full 7digit Postcode aswell. Price matched with PC World its about 160 i think aswell

Its alright yea, but i wouldnt personally go for one. If you want a PDA aswell then thats ideal. Go and have a play with the i3 before u buy one tho, i bet you'll love it

this is what i have. i like it because its a pda aswell, also its good because you can carry it around with you and still use the sat nav due to the built in gps antenna...

Very interesting, I went from Navman SmartST 2 to Tom Tom 5 and found the Tom Tom much more user friendly, im afer a new PDA now cos blew up my navman one oops Dell axim x51 looks good but would need a GPS reciever as not built in
