Thumbs up Looking for a sat nav

As title really. With my eyesight it needs to be quite clear and bright. Not going abroad so UK only.

I thought about these.....

Navman S100T Sat Nav - UK & ROI from Halfords Was £149.99 Save £23.15 Price £126.84 Half Price Sendai Sat Nav Accessories

TomTom XLT UK & ROI V2 from Halfords Price £136.79 Half Price Sendai Sat Nav Accessories

Garmin Nuvi 205 Wide Sat Nav - UK & ROI from Halfords Was £129.99 Save £10.00 Price £119.99 Half Price Sendai Sat Nav Accessories

Any suggestions or comments

Thanks

I'd still say TomTom, but that's just my humble opinion.....

Did that for the other half. Dead easy to set up TomTom on it. You can also load iGo8 which is way better than TomTom

It's was this similar to this one Navigo 3.5" Sat Nav V2 PLUS - UK Maps, Full Postcode Search - MP3 &MP4 player, Bluetooth and FM transmitter - Ebuyer but was just a V2, not a Plus, so no FM transmitter or Bluetooth.

Probably not the biggest screen out there so if it is important to you it may be worth considering something else. Sure they used to do a widescreen version of the above but I can't find it.
