Anyone got a sat nav?

Recommended Posts

I have Tom Tom & Hubby has the same in his van, & I must say that it is brilliant.

Only yesterday his van broke down & I had to go to the back of beyond to pick him up, & it got me there with no problems.

 

I would recommend Tom Tom to anyone.

Get one with a night vision light,so its easier to see if you use it a night - essential!

I have a Tom Tom Go, it's OK but not as good as the one that I used to have built in to my Mini! It is quite user friendly though, although it has strange ideas about what actually constitutes a faster route (e.g. driving through a river :evil: ) but I think they can all be like that!

I have a Navman and its brilliant.

 

Bought another one for Mum and it went wrong - after we eventually got a refund (flipping Argos are USELESS). I bought a replacement in the Staples clearance for over £100 off. I have that one as it's more complex and Mum prefers simplicity.

Hubby has a Garmin & the lead which you connect to the cigarette lighter is bust & we can't get a replacement anywhere :(

 

i like the name "Tom Tom".

If you got mad with the car 'cause it broke down would John Cleese come & batter it with a tree branch if you had tom tom?

I've got a TomTom, but it's actually loaded on to my iPaq PDA (I am gadget girl!) as I already had that, and it was cheaper than buying a stand-alone sat-nav. It clips into a holder which I attach to the windscreen, and connects to the satellite receiver by Bluetooth.

 

I love it, it has made driving so much easier and less stressful, I would not be without it. You do need to apply common-sense, and the maps on mine now need updating but I am too mean to buy them, but it's absolutely brilliant.

 

Do beware though, DON'T leave it in the car, and in fact I regularly wipe off the 'sucker' mark on the windscreen where the holder has been, because that is something thieves look for apparently.

Ditto :D Thankfully have never had any problems. I have also brought the maps for Italy and France for it 8)

 

Having said that I like the idea of John Cleese giving me directions :D

I'd really like one too. I was very impressed with my friend Fiona's TomTom satnav. It's certainly put an end to me tutting at Phil because he's not paying attention to the map :roll:

 

 

We are still stuck in the A-Z and maps age. I don't actually mind getting lost, it can be quite fun :wink: I once drove through Paris to get back to the cross channel ferry without a map (DH had thrown it out of the window in a temper) :roll: I just used a compass, keep going north, keep going north :):)

We also have a Navman and it's brilliant. We let my brother borrow it for a while and ended up having to go somewhere ourselves without it. I had forgotten how horrible it is being totally lost :(
