SATNAV for £199 @ LIDL
Those who slated the lidl "brand quality", or made reference to pikeys - in Pete Lewis's earlier thread - any of you fancy some cheap sat-nav?

People. Forget Sat Nav!
Dare I confess. My last motor was a Nissan X Trail and it had Sat Nav.
If you can read road signs and maps you'll do a better job. Apparently, the one in the Nissan was a good one and the voice still used to instruct you to turn left when it meant right.
It couldn't seem to get it's head round One Way Streets, either!

All the in car factory option are ****e, I use a Tomtom on a PDA for work, I get to about 20-39 addresses a day with no bother. It updates once a month so its rarely off key. This cost around 250 pounds I think. Hp Ipaq2210 with navigator3, last years model but very good. Worth its weight in gold for my delivarys.
Allot of my work pals have got other brands of sat nav from halfrauds etc.. and there alright, but not a patch on the tomtom software. If you dont want the hassle of a pda and a pc link to it, then look at the Tomtom GO, my old man has one cos Pc's are a Black Art to him lol. He had no trouble with it.

That looks like a Mitac Mio 168.
If it is then we had them over here last year in Lidl and my colleague bought one and it works flawlessly, he used it walking round london the other day and you can install TT5 on it or Navman SmartST v2 and V3. Not bad for the price.
However the description says it has a 400mhz CPU and the mio 168 only has a 266 mhz cpu so it could be an upgraded or newer unit that just looks the same.
