Halford have a sale on, upto half price.

I got a tomtom with a decent sized screen, england and ireland, camera locations 129.00, may be cheaper in the sale, you can have a blue tooth one, but you pay mre, i couldn't see the benefit.

Garmin are the best IMO, Garmin have more satellites than anyone else, and have been developing satalite navigation since the early 80's for boats etc, they supplied the army with there equipment in the gulf war.

I have heard quite a few that used to have tom toms switch to garmin and never looked back.

Id give sony a wide birth, have heard alot of complaints about them not recognising addresses

Reesey, that 520 is a BARGAIN, they told me in halfords that it has been replaced by another model, but it was and is 165 quid in curry's.
