what sat nav would you recommend

[redline]

now being the old fart of the forum , the eye sight is fading and maps are getting harder to read,

So I am thinking of overcoming technophobia and buying a satnav

my question is has anyone out there got/used one of these and which models would you recommend /chuck in the bin

Anyone that's red and covered in stickers will suit you to a tee

I'd go for the Becker Traffic Assist. I've tried it a few weeks ago on a 200 mile trip and it worked great! My uncle runs a bussines that sells these kind of things. I asked him if i could try one from the brand Garmin on a trip i was going to make. He borrowed me this one because you get much more for your money he said. The screen is nice and big, and good to read while driving. The prices in Holland variates from 400 to 500 euros.

Oh, and it looks real cool on a V300 dash

Can't speak from personal experience really, but my girlfriend's stepdad is a van courier and he swears by his TomTom. He brought it along when I drove him into the cenrte of Bath. It got us round the head-hurtingly confusing one-way systems without drama. My only complaint is that the screen is really bright and distracting when driving at night, although it's quite possible there was a way of turning it down and he hadn't bothered.

Cheers
