bump..

 

tomtom 720 does all that

but you have to load them up, for free

 

cheers buddy il look this up for more info does it do europe aswell as uk and ireland

 

tomtom's do everywhere mate

but to be honest, go into a halfords or the like and have a go at the different ones, lots of peole use tomtom because they are the most user friendly, even though other versions like the garmin or navman might have more fetures or better this or that, they are a bit too complicated to be able to use easily wihtout having to decipher loads of different menu's and options

we are currently changing over to palm pilots and i'm not sure what system they have on them, but they have been directing us down country lanes, cycle paths, bridle ways and all sorts

 

Ive only used one Tom Tom, and compared to the 3-4 Garmins Ive used, they dont even come close to ease of use.

the screen on the Tom Tom at night is terrible as well.

So I'm voting Garmin. They also do a big screen version for use in trucks etc

 

i use navigon for my lorry seems ok never let me down halfords do them

 

thats no very useful for instance if i was when driving a artic lorry at work cause the sat nav will be getting used for that also

 

ye which version (model) is used for trucks

 

Tom Tom for me. if you have a iphone you can get it on there (free if its jaılbroken) never tryed it on the phone so it might be crap.

 

I recently looked into this quite alot as wanted a new sat nav also.Have always had tom toms but thought id try a garmin for a change.Glad i did its much better and came with the speed cameras built in.The model was the nuvi 1310 that got 'which' magazine sat nav of the year 2009

 

I had a garmin but it was total shit. Got a tomtom now and its spot on. Dead easy to use (even my mrs can use it so must be easy lol). Has been dropped down a concrete flight of stairs and apart from a few marks it was unharmed!

 

Garmin all the way

 

Navman all the way. I've done lots of driving over europe with one and it was spot on, wouldn't use anything else.

 

Ive got a tom tom classic, as said above it could not be any easier to use and has always got me from a to b even even in busy towns/citys. Dont know what the chap was saying about the screen at night, mine is easy to see/read day or night, in any case most times you dont need to look at it , the voice tells you everything. I would not be without mine

 

mine tells you the street names as well as the directions, so it's really easy to use

and you can change the colour settings for several different ones to suit your eyes for daytime as well as night time viewing so that's all cool too for me

 

I use a Tom Tom everyday day for work, 50+ locations a day for the last 18 months. Not had a single issue, very easy to use and a nice clear display. Tom tom all the way!

 

always garmin

search would be better tho, this comes up loads and after 20 times people dont bother to give all teh info they did the other 19 times

tomtom suck dick

 

ive decided and i purchased a tomtom 950 live wots your reviews on them..

 

Your point is valid, however its always good to get opinions from right now TODAY rather that reading opinions that are X amount of weeks/months/years old.

And the general opinion now is that Tomtom is best.

 

Just go out and use it

 

Cant go wrong with a tomtom mate! Best out there IMO

 

cheers lads

 

Garmin all the way.
Every tom tom ive used is rubbish, dodgy screens etc
