Thanks for the advice, any advice on the best web sites to buy from

Thanks for the help

if your not a "i want brand new" go for a refurb i got a tt 700 its one of the better ones with bluetooth ect...got it and it was "as new" and i paid less than a new tt go for it. the instructions hadnt even been opened, looks like it was a catalogue return of something.

The others advice of TOMTOM is good! I have both a garmin unit and Tomtom on my phone. Both are great but one other thing to look out for maybe the cost of updating your maps!! you need to research this yourself looking at the maps you require and the unit you would be putting it on. If you don't intend to keep it for more than 2-3 years then just go for the tomtom ONE XL.

Please can anyone give me a little advice :idea:on the best sat nav to buy for under ?200.

All advice welcome

Thanks all.

If you are looking for a good PDA with satnav capabilities I'd recommend the Mitac Mio P550, it's got a 20 channel receiver, WLAN and bluetooth, so as well as using it for satnav you can use it for your ms office & emails. I've been using mine for about 6 mths, never had a problem with it.

With the availability of all the maps on the internet now you'll have no problem finding a package that you'll like, Tomtom, Destinator, etc all work on it.
I paid ?220 for mine but it's worth the extra ?20, it might be cheaper now.

Go For the TomTom as all maps are easily obtainable from any good torrent site!!

Free...
