Newbie Question.....

[PJGallagher]

Hi all,

I am another potential Sat Nav purchaser and have an iPAQ 3870 (Bluetooth enabled) and am looking to purchase a GPS system to go with it.

Can anyone share their comments and experiences of the following three and which one if any is the best option?

TomTom Navigator 3
NavMan 4410
CoPilot5

Also can anyone advise on a good cradle (can't be permanent fit as going into leased car).

I travel the UK extensively for work and need accurate maps down to side roads, having tried a colleagues TTN3, local roads were not on the maps (Caldeford Avenue, Solihull) and neither was Leamington Spa?! He assure me that he had loaded all the maps for the Uk correctly - can anyone advise if these 2 are on the software maps? Major roads of Europe would be adequate for my use...

I have a budget of approx £250 to spend (any recommended sites to purchase from?)

Many thanks
Paul

I have a 3870, TT3, Road Angel, Navman 4410.

I highly recommend the Brodit mount, which is of the "passthru" variety, allowing you to just plug the iPaq in. I have attached it to a vent mount.



I can also recommend the Navman 4410 and I'm sure if you shop around you'll be able to buy the Navman and TT3 for around £250.

I can certainly find Caldeford Avenue, Solihull and Leamington Spa in my full GB map set.

Hope this helps.
