sat nav experiance

Post by NewarkNutter »

I'm thinking of getting myself a sat-nav. I have limited experience; my dad has a Garmin one. It is good, reliable, cheap to buy and easy to use. I have found downloads for LPG refueling in this country but so far none for Europe.
Last year I drove to Spain, and had downloaded files for Auto route which gave me all the refueling stops, incredibly valuable! But I have no GPS for my laptop. I want to get a sat-nav that is cheap and not flashy but that will, hopefully, prevent me from getting lost and tell me where I can buy fuel throughout Europe.
What should I go for??

Get a mobile phone that takes a card (like the Nokia N70) then download tomtom, you can get POI's for LPG all over Europe for Tomtom (like I have :D ) Much cheaper than buying a full sat nav system

tom tom and garmin are the market leaders. i use a tomtom now and its the 3rd sat nav i have had and the best imho. loads of free download stuff especially europe stuff. that is why i chose a tomtom and for 100-150 quid you will get a right good un :wink:

I bought this one after reading loads of reviews - i downloaded the tomtom 6.1 files for it dumped them onto the supplied 1gig sd card and away you go - a tomtom satnav for under £60 delivered - cant go wrong in my opinion - oh yes if you want the tomtom files i can post you the links to them - Cheers
