Satnav - Recommendations Please
I am looking for one that i can customise the route options - the one i have takes me through the town centres every single time, and there is no way to stop it - drives me crazy getting stuck in rush hour and one way systems when i want to bypass the the whole town!
I have tried clever routes, short, fast etc and its the same.
i have a medion gopal at the moment - and other than this this a pretty good satnav.
I don't want to spend a lot though.
can anyone recommend anything?
thanks

No, I'm not being facetious but many people seem to find that it's best to use a conventional road atlas (£1.99 from many supermarkets or 'The Works') to plan the main part of the journey and then to use a satnav to negotiate local roads at either end of it.
My work takes me all over the country but I don't own a satnav. (I use a £1.99 road atlas for the main part of the journey and a print-out from the AA routefinder for the 'fiddly' bits).

OK I admit I didn't read your second post before I answered.
I suspect if you bought one of the two market leaders (Tomtom and Garmin) you would get better results, but not the perfection you seek.
I don't get the option to customise my route on my Garmin, but I just wouldn't follow the route if it took me through a town centre unnecessarily.
