Been posted before I know but time moves on as does technology.

SWMBO's birthday soon and I'm thinking of getting her a satnav, she does some long trips for work and only really needs it for occasional use.

I have a PDA with tomtom on it, but its old and fiddly with a wired receiver which works to my PDA via IR :eek:

So essentially looking for a Basic but easy to use satnav <£100 and wondered if anybody had experience of such units, a google throws up a huge amount but not having used garmin vs tomtom etc I'm not sure what is the best.

Have a look at Pocket GPS World

I have experience of TomTom (navigator 5 and 6 on PDA, TT One v2), a Navman and a Garmin.

TT will be £100> but IMO the easiest, yet better feature packed than the others.

You will get cheaper but not as many features.

I have a TomTom one XL and although it occasionally gets lost and sends me and auroan down mud lanes rather than the malthouse meet, i cant fault it. Easy to use interface, lovely big screen, plenty of features and for the most part very reliable!

Newer ones of course have mapshare and gives you the facility to block roads (farm tracks etc) so it doesnt do it again on that road...........

I have map share, but i dont plug it into the 'pooter enough to get the updates.

Having bought a NavMan and then ditched it a fortnight later to go back to TomTom I'd strongly recommend spending the few quid extra for one.

They are the market leaders for a very good reason - their user interface is leagues better than any others I've tried.

Given the budget, go for a TomTom One v3. Not far off that mark...
