Shane Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Been looking for months, several times I have been on the verge of buying one and then always discovered that there was something about the one I was going for that I was not so happy with. saw yesterday that Currys had a Garmin C510 in for £149, that is £100 cheaper than Halfrauds normal price and £50 cheaper than Tescos. This was one that was on my short list because it has all the features I was looking for like speed cameras/limit prompts, FULL postcode, security location, SD slot, USB connectivity, and most importantly for me could be uprgraded to provide Central and East Eu. mapping cheaply. Anyhow, played with it yesterday and it's grand. Well easy to use and so far seems really accurate. Went on to the Garmin website earlier and upgraded the firmware and that was easy. Been looking on Ebay and I can get a world map CD for £15 and there are loads of external antennas available for about £10. Very pleased so far. Anyone else got one of these?

Shane Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 Nah I bought the orange spv phone which came with tom tom installed for £130. Its a phone, PDA, and sat nav all in one Very good, really didnt want a combination unit because I have a company phone which I have to have with me at all times anyhow. When I looked at the combination deals it seemed that they were all at a good price so long as you took out a new phone contract so I ruled them out. Also the Tom tom map upgrades seemed pretty expensive compared to some. Reckon for what I paid for this it's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konrad Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 My missus is using PDA Dell Axim X5 with TomTom5 , GB map and main roads of Europe installed. I prefer my Nokia N70 with bluetooth GPS recevier, TomTom 5 Mobile with GB maps and Western/Eastern Europe Maps included. Bittorent is handy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
