Neither, and get TomTom 1, much better!

But my personally opinion.

Garmin always seemed slow! And update slow, and just generally slow, menus confusing etc.. But my Garmin was like 1st one they ever made! So probally better nows.

[Joe3490]

Get tomtom

[de4n0]

tom tom 1 is much better than anything out there, and the value for money is great, i may have one for sale in a few days so pm me if your interested, cheers

[Mike_420]

reading the reviews on both sites they seem to be alot better now, tom tom seem to be out of my price range, well the ones ive seen are.

it doesnt need to be the best, aslong as it does what it says, has one got any experience with either of these two?

[Mike_420]

ill keep that in mind, cheers :)

[boo]

I think garmins personally, tom tom's seem to be a bit too high rated for what they are.

But to be honest you dont need to buy a really expensive one as they all work the same, just different brands

[Rogue_Shadow]

Tom Tom 1
Use it everyday to get to jobs via postcode or street name

Garmin are junk, Colleagues of mine have them and they dont react or give prompts aswell as the TomTom

Thats my review anyway

[Mike_420]

this the one ? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOMTOM-ONE-UK-ROI-WESTERN-EUROPE-22-MAPS-GPS-SAT-NAV_W0QQitemZ260381544838QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Aud ioTVElectronics_GPSSystems_GPSSystems?hash=item3c9 ff31186

do they come with free updates? for traffic alerts and speed cameras?

iv got the tom tom one it's really good think i got the accesory kit with it for £120 from halfords.
Plus you can update it easily i just plug mine in to the p.c they send you emails with updates to add to it.

[Rob-6]

got to be a tomtom best out there!

[Rogue_Shadow]

However
The battery life is poor on the TomTom 1
Not sure if this is with all SAT NAV's
but my TomTom one last about 2 hours max off cig charger

[marcusd]

i got a navman sd30 in 3d. is pretty good no hassles with it. got it for £70 online special from comet and when i registered it came with free speed camera updates for the year and free 2009 map update, so basically was a real good deal in terms of not having to pay for the new map updates for more o r less 2 years.

Mum has this 1, and its HUUUUUUGE! And hers always crashs!?

You can pick a start Tom Tom up for like £100 also, so i'd go for that.

[Mike_420]

thanks guys, so the tom tom is looking like the best value for money so far,

is all that happens after say a 30 day trial, they wont pick up new cameras but still the ones from the first update? is that right?

Link takes me to the halfords homepage mate

[pr0xibus]

I have a garmin Nuvi and never had a problem with it, well apart from it leading me up a wrong road for my grandads funeral making me miss the whole bloody thing.... But its easy to use and does nearly exactly what it says on the tin

[Mike_420]

which model do you have? and where did you get it?

[pr0xibus]

cant remember the model number but i bought it from currys in january sometime. I got it for 100 quid at the time and really cant fault it unless your going to funerals then just follow signs lol

[Mike_420]

lol, there are so many choices, least ive got a couple of weeks to decide

[hellonpluto]

Tom tom is the best and thats why they have the majority of the sat nav market share

[Mike_420]

im off out later to go buy a tom tom, and it seems the tom tom start is the best for the money, http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_75 0257_langId_-1_categoryId_165685#dtab

halfords also seem to have it for the best price,

what are peoples suggestions?

[Mike_420]

anyone? im off out soon..

[Mike_420]

well ive reserved it for collection, so ill let you guys know how it is if anyone is interested :)

[VTRelite]

I have a Garmin and haven't had any issues with it. Highly recommend. I have the 200W

I have the 1310 and its amazing!

[Mike_420]

Well i ended up going for the tom tom start, from halfords, comes with 1 year warranty and i think two months speed camera subscription.

very impressed with it, easy to use, took seconds to setup while in the car park and haven't had a problem since, done a couple of 30mile trips yesterday and today and it worked perfect,

id recommend it to anyone wanting a simple to use sat nav, very good for the money. :)

[Azza-VTR]

I have a Navman which I use the majority of days for work and has never let me down once in the 4 month of use - very hard wearing and reliable - has never got me lost so far!
And I travel all over the country atm :)

[machevelli7777]

Got the Garmin nuvi 200W. Very easy to use, connects very quickly and apparently the US Army uses them ;)
