Default Which Sat Nav

Looking for a sat nav for a present & narrowed it down to two potentials after doing a PF search:

Tom Tom One V3
or
Navman F20

Around £130 max for any other suggestions & places to buy.

Looked on dixons site, but they don't have any in stock of the Tom tom. perhaps the shop will(?)
This is for my dad so must be easy to use
Cheers for the advice so far.

I sell them for a living, go for a Tom Tom mate, by far the better unit imo. I see the problems, what ones come back etc... and its defo where my money would go.

Thats not to say the F20 is a bad unit as such, just not on the same level as a tom tom in all areas imo, especially ease of use.

Halfords doing Tom Tom V3 with Eastern Europeon mapping at £149.99 if you can stretch it it's worth it as you can't add the euro mapping on after the V3 version.

Good deal to be honest.

Hope this helps

I drove 15,000 miles in 3-4 months with the Navman F20, and I simply cannot fault it, superb. This includes driving many miles round the centre of London etc
