are these sat nav thingys any good, anyone got one??

 

i have a mio 168 pda with sat nav, bloody good

 

good but not if you are going too fast on the motorway becuase mine missed the junction i was supposed to be getting off at, as i got past the slip road it said next left

 

only reason i ask is cos my mate mananged to blag a free one off his boss and i was gonna use it next week but if they're no good i'll not bother??

 

haha unlucky joel

 

their wicked.. i had the original one and now got the tomtom 700..

 

Tomtom is really good

 

ive got an XDA2 with tomtom.

the quality of the GPS receiver makes a HUGE difference, i had a cheap ebay oe and it was RUBBISH. now ive got a good one and it's EXCELENT

i have trouble with the POIs (speed cameras, petrol stations etc) crashing it, but aparently theres a patch due soon

 

I use route 66 on my nokia 7610. Its the nuts

 

I got the Tom Tom 300 and it works a treat.

No issues like Jim with the POI's and it gives you plenty of time for junctions.

Using Yoda as the voice for navigation is quite comical too... not as comical as Ozzy Osborne in full flow.

 

Have Tom Tom 3 on my iPaq 4150, it's worth every penny

especially when it has comedy moments and doesn't quite know what's going on
My favourite quote when i was on a long straight road, with no turn offs (in a computerized female voice):

 

tomtom on my nokia 6600 and is superb, speed cameras etc too
