Won't get anything decent for that. I've got a Tom Tom which was £400 but doesn't pick up Gatso's but my RoadAngel does saved my bacon on more than one occasion. I don't know why women need one anyway - they never go any further than their mothers house anyway

Never fannied about with my Tom Tom, don't even know how it works properly if I'm honest. Don't know if it does pick up Gatso's or not - that's what my RoadAngel is for !!!!
