TomTom is what you need then
The 300 is the basic model, but sounds perfect for what you need it to do.
The 500 & 700 come with bluetooth so you can use your phone through them but its about £70-£80 jump in price
Failing the TomTom the NavMan 520i is my preferred choice

Its plug and Play
Mounts on your dash then plugs in your lighter
About 15 seconds to boot up and your away
