OK, I've decided to get a sat nav, I want a simple, easy to use unit. I've narrowed it down to two, Tomtom one europe and Garmin nuvi 250.

Any ideas? Experinces? Advice?

Thanks!

 

I've used Garmin before (2610) and I now have the TomTom one Europe which I pesonally find a lot better. Easier to use, nicer to look at cheaper than a Garmin. Plus the added bonus of speed camera warning.

 

just bought a 250 garmin and its my first sat nav and i found it very easy to use and does have the speed cameras..oops i mean safety cameras installed.Small unit and paid 120 quid from halfords

 

I`ve used both units you`ve mentioned and there`s not much difference between them, both straight forward and easy to use. Get yourself down to Halfords and have a play with them both and see what you think for yourself, that`s what I did and bought a Nuvi 250

Hi fella

I have had a few Tomtoms units for various reasons (robbing gits).

Anyway i have just "doctored" a unit for a pal who bought a navigo for about £58.00.

I found a few tuts on how to put tomtom on it with all the voices and full postcode search.

Works a treat.

I looked at both units too but decided on the Garmin as it is the only system to have Isle of Man maps

 

Had two Nuvi's and well pleased, was told that they last longer/better too, only got second one for Usa and Canada, cheaper to buy new at the time,my dads got my old one. Used works Tom tom and didn't like, but probably cos I'm used to Garmin.
Great for handsfree too

 

You can some from ebuyer for about £60. Put tomtom or Miomaps or whatever else takes your fancy on it.

Works very well and plays movies too

 

just remembered its called Navigo

 

Navigo GPS Sat Nav Unit - UK Mapping - 3.5" Screen ALSO plays MP3 & MP4 - Ebuyer

£49 now too

 

i got a Garmin for the simple reason that they are the worlds best military sat nav suppliers and as such, have to know what they are talking about with the latest sat nav technology etc........

 

garmin gets my vote too i have the nuvi 200

 

I've got a garmin Nuvi 350, always got me to where I wanted to go!

 

Agree with Fozz, my Nuvi has been 100% excellent, unlike my sisters Tom Tom that usually lets her down at least once a week

 

i have just bought a navman s90i loads of feature ie connect your phone via bluetooth and you can answer call by simply pressing accept on the satnav. saves being tempted to answer it will driving. sure the garmen and tomtom have similar feature just maybe worth considering the s90i

 

Went the whole hog and did the DNX 7200 with the Garmin built in. SD card upgrade behind the screen too!

 

Also a leading supplier of aircraft navigation,so I got a garmin nuvi 660
