.......under £100. I'm not dripping with £50 notes like that STMO fella.
Suggestions please. :y
Any good deals at the minute?

As women can't read maps it is more for Mrs Opti than myself. :)

Does she not have a smart phone?

Smart(ish)......Cubot something or other from China. :)

If you can stretch to £120ish, go for a Garmin Nuvi! :y
I use it instead of the crap thats built into my current car. :-X

Yes I have a Garmin from 2008 which has been great and cost circa £50 from Halfords. :y
I've never bothered to update the software though so occasionally it tells me that I'm driving across fields or driving through temporary speed limits! ;D
I keep the sound turned off so that's not a problem. ;)

You have a habit of buying cheap tat phones.......but being android based should still be able to run the likes of google maps, wayz or Telenav Scout all of which are free or pay a bit to get Tomtom (with speed cameras)

Not on a contract of any description so I think I'll have to pay for 'data'.

Not all of the above require data, download at home and away you go! Navmii being one such app, its basic but its free.

I tend to use street view before I go, look at the key junctions, then I reconise them on route :y
I'd love an Android Watch. Be good for Sat Nav on the bike!

Top tip. Don't buy a large screen satnav, just buy a small cheap one and strap an inexpensive magnifying glass to it :y

don't get a big screen sat nav
they take up far to much space in a car I have a 7 inch one and its to big for my truck as well so now have a 5inch
and if pc plod see it in the window and say its blocking your view they will give you a nice fine

Bloke down the pub said, with tomtom on an a tablet right in the middle of your view, there's no reason to look outside. At all.
Must be true. Bloke said, down the the pub. He was drinking water tough. :-\

Google maps on a phone is free too :y I use it on my iphone for sat nav...it does traffic too...however if you haven't got a data plan, you can download and save areas of maps on wifi and then use in offline mode :y ....can be handy if you have got a data plan...but loose signal ;)

Can't remember screen size of mine,but it's a TomTomXL if that means owt.Bought it second hand off flea bay a while ago[couple of years or so]paid £35 for it,always been faultless for me.
-
I can't see the point of a large screen, as a small one has always been enough for me. It's not as if she's going to drive along continually looking at the damn thing. Is she?
Oh, and Tom-Tom for me everytime.

Argos have a decent Tom Tom on sale £80 down from £200! Tried to go on the site to get the details for you but it's down for maintenance

I fitted a cupholder to the air vent on my MFL and then fitted a Large screen Tomtom in a mount that dropped into the cupholder. No fiddling with the mount on the back, just lift out :y

Could have been worse. Could have been something with no flavour at all like Carling. ::)

Yes, I do that too............. :y :y
However my latest car has Sat Nav built in, love using it, but you need to know where you are going, roughly, as it sometimes try to take me the 'wrong' way....... ::) ::)
