Default Sat Nav?

Can anyone recommend a sat nav system for around 100 quid. I have been looking at the RAC 200 and Tom Tom one V3.
Anyone got any views on either or others i should consider.
Cheers
Nik.

Garmin nuvi 200 I think it's called, from Halfords. It picks up speed cameras and mobile hotspots and has decent graphics all for under £100 !!!!

I just bought my daughter the TomTom One Europe V3. It was £129 same as the UK map only in Halford, Pc world etc 2 weeks ago. Its got speed camera locations, tells you if you are going over the speed limit, full post code search etc. And they can even tell you how to get places The TTOne is very small and thin and she likes it because she can shove it in her bag when she parks up. You dont get a case or at home charger though, but you can pick these up in a 2 for 1 box for £20.

I have an original TomTom Go about 5 years old, still works perfect and I reckon they are the dogs danglies.

Garmin have been around a long time are also are very good.

When you do get one, whichever you chose, always remove it when you park up and try and wipe away the mark the sucker leaves on the windscreen...they reckon scumbags look for this mark and then break in to see if you've left the satnav under the seat or in the glovebox.
Christ, I sound like yer Dad

Depending on what phone you have I would recommend TOM TOM on a phone the software is probably about £100 and of course you can upgrade the software not sure about normal tomtoms

TOM TOM ONE gets my vote. Does what it says on the box, which at the end of the day is all you need. Although the earlier one has a better suction cup that the one out at the moment.

If its for occasional use i totally agree, I do the same, but if its going to get a bit of use then the tom tom gets my vote also, the later slim versions are a lot easier to conceal and its sooooo easy to use.
