I looked at them on the halfords site but the cheapest one was nearly £300 which is a bit to expensive for me.

Bluetooth comes as standard in the tomtom I noticed but that doesnt interest me really.

Garmin and tomtom seem to be the winners but choosing a certain model is a nightmare as theres a fookin lot of them lol

one thats easy to use and updates is spot on but the update ones are a bit pricey. Anyone know a place that sells them cheap or sellin one cheap???

very hard to use for your averidge person,
customer service cant speak english,
for every garmin that breaks at least 10 navigons will break,
on some models the mount has to be bolted together for every use

just from selling sat navs all day long thats my experience

garmin and tomtom are about as good as each other.
personly tomtom's menu system is more fluid.

and with garmin england, scotland and wales are split.
not seamless mapping.

530 and 730 are a good tomtom, only saying that cos its mount is super simple and less likley to go wrong
