The mother in law's after cheap sat nav - ideas please...

[tahiti]

Frankly, Sat Nav means nothing to me - it's a subject that I really don't give two hoots about. But, the mother in law wants it, and as I "know about cars" she's giving me a headache about it.

So anyway, she's tight, fancies a stand alone system for her Astra diesel (no comment), and wants a "bargain". Can anyone please put her out of my misery and point me in the direction of a simple to use, reliable system that costs less than £500? She wants it for UK AND Europe...

Cheers

Try this

Currently £249 + VAT at Makro for UK & Europe. You get speed camera warnings too!

I class as a bargain!!

That's a good piece of kit? I wouldn't have a clue. It seems very cheap, European maps are available at £70.

It would get me in her good books if I can come in under budget!

Comet were doing the NAVMAN 520 for 250 pounds at the minute, it is about 320 pounds instore so you're making a saving of 70 pounds just to buy online. They just put the price back up to 299pounds today!

I checked the prices out everywhere and it is the cheapest in the country, even cheaper than sales on ebay on some auctions

I just bought one, not sure wether it is better than TOM TOM but reviews state they do almost exactly the same. It comes in cheaper than the TOM TOM Go 300 by 50 pounds and seems to do exactly the same, if anything, it looks better because it is flat and very transportable.

aNYWAY, PC World has still got it on offer on a link when you type "NAVMAN 520" in kelkoo.co.uk and you will see it for 249.99!
If you go to the actual website from scratch, it is posted for 299pounds! Dont know why the link hasnt been updated but you can still go ahead and proceed to checkout with the link from kelkoo for the exact same item!

Well I'm new to this lark as well, but it seemed good to me and so far, I've no complaints. Mapping is fine, has some obscure local mobile scamera sites, and is a nice little unit...

Personally I'd get a small cardboard box, paint a map on it and then move

Worked for my mother in law - haven't seen her for years!
