tom tom beats garmin (so is the opinion of the twenty or so users in my office.
Make sure you get full postcode mapping, cos some of the cheap ones only do partial postcodes and that could get you miles away.

Go with the TomTom, Jane get me there every time.
In house joke.
Tom Tom One here too with speed camera data from here...
Always best to check alternative routes to the fastest though as it will sometimes send you an extra 20 miles to save 5 mins. !
I like the Navman F20
Cheap, !£150
slim fits in my jacket pocket
Simple to use good size screen 3D mapping everything you need back on track nearest fuel station etc
The size of the screen is important becase when they are stuck to the windscreen they are alot further away from you than in the shop and the small ones can be difficult to read
You have to be aware alot of the more expensive ones have full european maps in them
If you dont intend using them abroad then you can spend lots less and go for the UK only ones
try a big halfords they have most of them all on display then shop arround when you have settled on one
We have the Navman and I personally hate it, it's a nightmare to control and the buttons keep sticking so the voice over keeps repeating the next turn! lol.. other than that I've heard better reports about the TomTom.
Bought a Tom Tom 500 12 months ago
As well as numerous detinations found in UK with no problem,it has
also taken me to addresses in Holland,Germany and France,right to
the doorway.
It also picks out thousnds of hotels,ferry terminals,car parks etc as
well as having free speed camera warning download.
Would definitley recomend it (although I think new version is 510)

Great thread as I am looking more for a speed camera detector with sat nav as an addition, rather than sat nav being the main purchase.
I had been looking at the road angel 6000 but looks like Tom Tom is the one to go for based on the comments on here.
Thanks.
Tom Tom Go300 - does exactly waht it says on the tin
Best piece of electronic gizmo I've ever bought, remove your mount off windscreen when not in use, cos the little scrotes will break in to try and find it, as I found out, for new mount and for gen charger
TomTom too - though it's loaded on a PDA which now sits in a metal cradle which is in the dashboard with the wires for the satellite receiver hidden away. Means I get the help of a brilliant sat nav with the usefulness of a PDA too.
Now I use it even for regular trips just in case there are roadblocks or accidents and I need to get a new route quickly.
:P
That would be the TV ads asking you to buy a TomTom.
we have a garmin, it does the job, and i think it does speed cameras as well! we got garmin as we do GEOCACHING and have a garmin GPS as well,and can use the same mapping software in both!
:happy:
