Have had a Nuvi 710 for over a year and it's great. It can put music through an FM channel on your car radio,doubles as a blue tooth hands free kit and picks up traffic jams ahead and routes you round them.
Best of all, for my son, you can download all sorts of vehicles for it so you can be a fighter plane, pirate ship, zombie, kid on a skateboard, racing car etc etc etc.

Pah! SatNav? All you need is a map and a brain lad

Actually, FWIW, my mum didn't like the TomTom interface so got a Nuvi something or other...

On TV they keep punting the latest versions which will show you where carparks are or traffic jams and give you alternative routes. They keep on parping about how this the first GPS system(s) to do this yet the one in my car has been able to do that for over a year

I've only ever used Garmin GPS at sea, but they certainly used to be THE name in that field.

I've got a Nuvi 255 - works just fine. Far better than the one builtin to my car.

Garmin satnav – any good?
My Tomtom 520 has died, will not re-charge. Repair firm want £70 for fixing.
I can get a Garmin for around £54 through work.
Only ever had Tomtom, but considering they are £110 for base model, half the price has to be worth looking into (bear in mind I am a permie these days thanks to the recession)…..
Anyone got / have / had and chucked out of window / waxes lyrical and sleeps with their Garmin?Tags: None
