Having never had one before I spent a lot of time looking into sat navs...I was even sad enough to buy magazines regarding it! I ended up going for a Garmin 265WT - it pronounces road names (rather than saying take the next left), wide screen, has blue tooth for your phone (which works well), european cover, lifetime subscription free traffic alerts. Got to say, I find it exceptionally easy to navigate through. I can see why its the critics choice for sub £150.
