Hi,
I am looking for a sat nav for my mother. She just need UK mapping, no TMC or bluetooth; in fact the most basic unit that's upto date is fine.
Halfords are doing some deals on Navigon (I think) at 59.99? Are these Ok and reasonably upto date?
I've had tomtom's for so long now, I'm not sure what other untis are like.
Any other good deals from retailers welcome. |

Have a look at This - I know its got full European mapping on it, but to buy the same hardware with just UK maps costs more (me thinks they have got their prices the wrong way around!)
With the Euro model though you get more internal memory which is vital on a device devoid of an SD card slot.
If you don't fancy that device look at some of the other clearance items, you will still get a 12 month warranty - Mike |

Yes, but if you go to find-satnav-deals.co.uk you will find a code for free postage and then go to the site you mention here. It will end up as totalpda all in of £74.74. It has a 1gb internal memory and with the european maps loaded plus a few extra free POI downloaded from this site, then there is about 47mb of memory left. It took me 1.5 hours to download freebie updated map and applcation with broadband as it was the new version 8.010 application and 815.2024maps. NOW is the time to get this device to get the new maps which came out yesterday! The same device with only UK maps has only half the internal memory size. No SD card slots. So yes, the pricing is the wrong way round it seems as you get exactly the same uk maps on both as tomtom informed me. |
