I've got the Navman S30 and am very happy with it as it can be cracked and TomTom and MM loaded onto it

I have the basic TomTom One. I recently had to replace it after the previous one developed battery related problems after 3 years of use (bearing in mind I do about 120,000 miles a year with work so it is on all day every day during the week).

I can safely say it has never let me down before the battery problem, unlike the bigger, fancier TomTom models which seem to be much less reliable.

Plus, you can get silly voices for it, although many of them are rubbish.

Ive just upgraded my Copilot7 to version 8 for £22.00 on my PDA Orbit11 lots of new functions on it, quite pleased but the keyboard has not got the qwerty option on this version for some odd reason, hoping they will include it in a free update.

I know I might get a few funny comments about this, but I personally like the Road Angel range of sat-navs, due to the built in speed camera stuff, as well as MM support built in ... problem is they are not at the cheap end of market

I to have a tom tom one. It's two years old and is a great piece of kit. Although I prerfer to have it updated at Halfrauds as the PC update didnt work very well for me.

Morrisons are selling a Navman version for £60 on special offer.

I bought one (gave my older Navman to my brother in law) and it's a good piece of kit. As long as you're not looking for anything too fancy (bluetooth, yada yada) then it's perfect. Took me to Cheshire and back last night no problems at all :)
