hi. sat nav works by a minimum of 3 satelites locating you in relation to the rest of the earth. the satnav unit carries maps. using the 2 it knows where you are and it has the maps to get you to where you want to go. 

i have a navman icn520 which is hetting a bit long in  the tooth but i like it s it is quite slim so stores away easily. you can pick these up for less than 100 quid now. the work van has a navman n20 i think and that is an entry level system which is easy to use.

i have some friends who use tomtom and they are a bit more expensive but do seem better and a bit easier to use.  if you are on a budget go for the n20. i think ebuyer are doing them pretty cheap at the minute. if you have a bit more cash to spend go for the tomtom.

I had a tom tom 500 till it got nicked....which was awsome!!!!

i bought the road angel as a replacement and it took about 5mins to load up (i timed it) it was rubbish!!!

Instead i bought the Tom tom one!!!! EXCELLENT and fits in your pocket like a wallet so you take it anywhere with you. It also tells you the speed limit in every area!!!

Go tom tom and never look back!!!!

is the 510 710 910 better than the one v2? the 910 seam to fetch a lot
ive seen the tom tom one is 199 on there site and the 510 is 279 and goes up in price for 710 910 etc what the difference? why i sthe one cheaper is it not a sgood look bulkier not sure why its less features look similar

I borrowed a friends TomTomOne when I drove down to Newquay and thought it was fantastic. I liked the way it tells you what the speed limit is on the road you are driving on.

If you look on http://www.tomtom.com/products/category.php?ID=0&Language=1 it tells you the differences. I have a 910 and think it is superb if a bit on the bulky size - you can't exactly put it in your pocket!

i see the 510 710 910 are all similar, the higher ones have more maps of us and few other things but i could not see why the "one europe" model was £80 less ? than the 510 model, maybe its got some extras i missed will have to compare them again

910 is hard drive based not memory cards (space for mp3's etc if you want to) has maps of europe and the US, plus has some funky speech engine so it can read out all the road names.
