Best Satnav (GPS) in UK market around £200. Any suggestion for handhelds wiht GPS. (like Plam, mobile, etc)?

Question

Please be as specific as you can. I value your personal judgement and your knowledge about them. Millions of thanks.

Which do you recommend: a Satnav on its own or one of those multijob things?

Answer 1

for your price range, a tom tom one.

I use a tom tom 700 (the 700 has full door-to-door europe maps), and have experience of the tom tom go, tom tom 300 and tom tom one. I use the speed camera database from http://www.pocketgpsworld.com.

Personal preference - I would not use a handheld with GPS. I dont like to have all my eggs in one basket.

there is a good forum at http://www.pocketgpsworld.com that covers all the satnav packages... If you want a handheld and gps package, I would suggest looking on the forums there for advice

Answer 2

If you want a PDA, the Dell Axim X51v with inbuilt savnav and bluetooth receiver is amazing. My husband has one, and it's ten times more useful than the Navman we used to have.

However... it's more expensive than something that's simply a satnav device. So unless you're in the market for both a PDA and a satnav don't bother.

Answer 3

TomTom One UK. No doubt about it. Don't bother with a PDA unless you're going to be scheduling loads of meetings and stuff.

I have had a TomTom One for a year, and it's quite simply the best thing ever. As long as you live on the UK mainland (it screws Northern Ireland big time), you'll be very pleased with it.

I also have a Garmin hand held unit this is my maximum relied on possession while i'm in the woods.They artwork completely on land, and that i might wager that they are much greater effective on the water.
