Default what sat nav?

what sat nav does everyone have?

just over a year ago i bought a cheap myguide one, and well it has served its purpose and the more miles i do the more i need such as

things like map updates
camera updates
road updates
is there one that can identify if police are hiding with a gun?

dont want to spend huge amounts, probably up to about £100 or so. Any one got any recommendations?

I recommend tom toms mate. thats what ive got, can have live traffic management so it knows if traffics heavy to divert you or if there is an incident.loads of features you can buy for it, They get you exactly where you want to be, Ive tried loads over the years, Garmin, Nav man etc and i dont rate any of them apart from tom tom. WWW.tomtom.com for specs etc

I use my other halfs TomTom One. It's probably about 4 years old now so it's not the most current but every so often we update it and it has always got us to wherever we want to get to with good clear instructions given well in advance of action required.

TomToms just so much easier to use than the others. Can't stand Garmin personally.

Think tom tom are crap, talking from my experience of the one I have, the update costs after 1 year are more than I can buy another brand new sat nav for, that has more features and 12 months warranty, mine also has a habit of turning itself on, so is always flat when wanting to use it, but in use it is easy to use.
