Which sat nav?

[Glaucus]

I need to buy a sat nav. I don't want to spend a lot as it doesn't get used often.

seen that navman do reconditioned ones for cheap

Although will check other places to make sure they actually are cheaper.

Looking at say £60 for uk only one (although must be able to get extra maps) or £80 with one that includes europe specifically spain.

So best to go for one of those navmans or something else?

I bought a refurb TT720 from totalpda.co.uk a couple of years ago and been very impressed.

I was given a Garmin Suivi (sp?!) which is brilliant for everything you would like a satnav to do (although I've heard pretty much all of them are very user friendly etc now).

I couldn't help you on matters of price as it was a gift, but can provide you with the knowledge that they are effective and sound

Perhaps you have a smartphone allowing you to buy sat nav software??

Got sat nav on my phone but it's unusable and it takes about 10 minutes to lock on.

Which phone/software do you have?
I'm assuming the 10 minute problem is to cold boot?

Lg arena. It's just a terrible terrible phone. Even if it locked on quicker, you can't see the maps.

I'm just about to out my Garmin 765T in favour of the new Garmin 1690, I've been using Garmins for years and just prefer the interface to the TomToms.

Both are probably a bit out of your price range though.

I know the 265WT is a very good piece of kit, so I'm guessing the 765 can only be better?

I'd have thought so, probably extra features. I've not looked into those model comparisons since I got the 765 so I don't know for sure. I tend to replace mine every year to eighteen months because it means I can sell the old one and that cash will go towards the new model.
