following sage advice I got on here a Mitac Mio which the supermarkets are selling for around £130-40. A PDA with car kit and integrated GPS. No software though. I managed to acquire TOM TOM 5 for less than a fiver which makes for a very cheap, good euro wide sat nav system running the best GPS software.

None of the current standalone units offer value for money...
The only value for money method, is an addon gps reciever and software for a PDA.
that way you dont get stuck with a huge leviathan that does little else.
