Best Value Sat Nav

[cjh]

Not sure if this belongs here or in Car related issues...?

Anyway, a friend of mine would like to buy Sat Nav as a birthday present for her father and she's shopped around a bit but was wondering if anyone had any tips on the best value available as it's quite an expensive purchase?

Thanks in advance,
Cjh.

Woould recommend Magellan Roadmate series (stocked by Halfords). I have used this system in U.S. & Canada as well as in Ireland, U.K. & France. The model I have is the 700 & comes with pre installed software for all of Europe. It cost around 450 Euro. This model was originally developed by Hertz for their hire fleet in U.S, about 5 years ago where I first discovered it. Absolutely reliable if not the cheapest. I wouldn't be without it in any unfamiliar area. Halford's will give you a demo. before you buy.
