Ive got a small Tom Tom from Halfords on a promotion special around �200, its great, you really dont need the bigger dearer model.

I've got a TOM TOM (300 I think) and a Navman (don't know what model) at work. I use the TOM TOM more, although the Navman has all the fixed speed camera sites programmed in too.

Thanks for prompt replies,will look into them, The one that I have been referred to by a non-ABer is the Magellan, has anyone heard of this - I have seen it working and it looks impressive?

I have the Magellan: gadget boy bought it ( Mr Sense) in a sale from Halfords on line .... I checked they don't seem to do them any more. We live in a heavily wooded area so I had to buy a magnetic ( sticks to car roof ) and goes in where the wee antennae comes off, signal booster. If I had paid seven hundred quid for it I would not be exstatic, I borrowed the housekeepers Tom Tom for a week and initially found it easier to plug and go. I do not like the window mount for the M. to move from car to car we have a people carrier and a BMW and reshaping was PIA, but have resolved this by buying a heavy dash top mount ( god bless the internet) and hubbie has joined a M/ users group for cameras etc, but as a technophobe I would buy a Tom Tom : as more people have it and so you will acess more instant help and advice, its only down fall ( the TT ) was in London when we were surrounded by the taller buildings - it was hit and miss (someone had down loaded speed cameras for our housekeeper) another client did it for her. Check out what Halfords have on an online offer, some stonking deals to be had! Mr Sense works in the States a fair bit and the M. is the nav.system of choice for Hertz in the US so he felt it had a proven track record. Any other questions please ask!

Hi Sense4all, the time I saw a Magellan used was in California and down in Mexico and it was this that made me think of buying one,(the magellan ). However after you and the others rate Tom Tom I will look around. Cheers Hard@it
