Navman F20 is good also.

Nice big screen (touch screen) some other little features like nearest petrol station/parking etc.

Cheap-ish too. Around £150.

If you are a member of Costco I would recommended the Navman F20, next month some time there is £40 off the item. Costco runs a no ask returns policy also, so if any thing goes wrong you can take it back. This applies to all goods apart from computers, I think. I have had 3 Navmans now I think, when a new one comes out I take the one I have back and get the newer model. I was told by numerous members of staff to do this. You get a full refund and then just go in the store and pick up the new one. The only down side is that they only seem to sell Navman and normally only one type currently the F20.
What a company

Another F20 vote from me, big screen and easy to use. You can pick them up for around £125, no fitting costs

Tom Tom all the way. I have the 700 (older one!) which got me to the Nurburgring. It has postcode level for Europe. I use it for my job and wouldn't be without it. Great piece of kit.

Better than the TomToms and cheaper to run as a years subscription is free!

Review: Mio C710 satellite navigation device - WhatPC?

If you buy the c510e for £100 cheaper, buy a 1GB SD card (£6), you can copy the European maps on the DVD supplied to it and save 100 squids.
