[dave&trace]

which is the best portable sat nav with europe mapping?

[Stuey]

best on paper would be the tomtom 910. That has everything!! bluetooth for the phone, picture viewer you name it it has it...

If it's European Maps you're after and (free) RDS traffic info, then check out the Sony Nav-u NV-U51 And NV-U71T

It has a big tie-in with the Michelin Guides.

 

Happy Christmas, John

If you don't need the US or Canada, tomtom 710 has all of Western Europe.

Depending on the mobile phone you have you can also put the tom tom software on that. And if you look around it can be found for free.

Would personally go for the Garmin Nuvi 310 D from Halfords, it has full euro mapping, traffic sensor (has a full lifetime subscription to traffic master, so no monthly fees), bluetooth, will also intergrate the phone book nad text mesaages from your mobile. Garmin have a very good speed cam database £40-00 per annum (data supplied by cyclops).

 

All for 299-99.

 

And best of all if you any tech queries, Garmin are very good and only a phone call away.

 

Have had mine for about 4 months, 6,500 miles and found to be very good, it has the latest SiRF III reciever in it so will work through the heat reflecting screen without any additional arials.

I have TomTom on my Nokia N70 (full paid for version), however, i dont yet have the Europe maps which i need for my hols in March.

 

I think its much better than the self-contained units, such as TomTom Go. I have a bracket fitted to my bike, so i can cycle using it, and i take it on my belt when i go hiking, plus my phone has lots of other software, such as GPS tracking software, MemoryMap, GooglePhone2Earth, London Underground router.........
