Hi, I'm thinking about buying a satnav, but don't know what to get, I'm currently using tomtom navigator 7 on a pocket pc, so I'm thinking of sticking with tomtom as I know how to use them, I would like it to have as many features as possible, budgets about ?100

Cheapest Garmin Nuvi about ?80, I've had one for about 4 years now, never let me down, simples

I have a TomTom XL which is utterly reliable, I brought it to replace a Garmin which was a bag of nails, half the time you could not get a signal and when you did, after a time it would lose it.

I'm also using TomTom navigator on my windows mobile phone, but I couldn't justify buying a dedicated satnav unit. What I'm using now works perfectly fine!

Got the Garmin nuvi 255W here. ?88 new on the bay. A great little piece of kit

Another vote for the tom tom XL, got it for my birthday and it's great.

I just got the Tom Tom XL IQ and can't really fault it.

Another vote for the Garmin Nuvi 255W.

Another TomTom XL IQ user here!

Its been a while since i have used portable nav devices, but tomtom seems miles ahead of the pack to me. I'd never buy anything else.

Dont forget to download the map for Pakistan for your relief work venture.

Garmin Nuvi 1690T

EDIT: Sorry, just seen your budget. Get a Garmin though!

This.

I have used a few the likes of Garmin, tomtom etc.
I would recommend Tomtom without a doubt. I have settled for Tomtom one which is more than adequate for me.

Another for the tomtom,

Mate used his Garmin? I'm sure when we were trying to find somewere.

Dreadful UI, so complicated. Tomtom is easy and at the end of the day does what it needs to!

another vote for tomtom, got mine for the trip to canada and it got us here without a fault. Even better than that sears had the tomtom one on sale for $79 when we got to the till it was marked down to $59. Bargain !!!

Tomtom is getting greedy though. There are often serious bugs and issues with maps and updates, other than user fixes don't come for free. You have to buy new map, if you want update, regardless of whether the one you got with your device was screwed and buggy or not.
Also, new devices come with GPRS subscription based traffic system (roughly ?50 a year) instead of good old TMC, and although it's nice to have traffic updates in 3 minutes instead of 15 or 30 - it's no longer either/or system - Tomtom is actively phasing out TMC compatibility with software releases for Live range, so at some point in not so distant future it will no longer be a choice of subscription (which btw, works only in three or four countries in Europe) or free traffic via RDS - you'll either pay for live services or you won't have traffic updates.
There is also issue of crippling software to force upgrades - my TT 720T was originally shipped with voice recognition and RDS-TMC via receiver in dedicated socket. 13 months later Tomtom released software update, which offered new features, but crippled my "T" device - I no longer had voice recognition and dedicated TMC no longer worked. When I demanded fix, I was told by Tomtom to buy 730 device for voice commands and new USB receiver for TMC as the device was no longer supported in its original format and somewhere in the original box there was a small print allowing them to screw around with the features.
Lucky, there is a solid "alternative software" development going on, re-enabling those lost features after software "upgrades" on "no longer supported" one year old devices.

Yes, Tomtom is still the best, but they have quite nasty business model.

TomTom IQ Routes here...very much a fan due to its reliability and ease-of-use.

As v0n correctly identifies, there are many ways around any undesired screwing up of the software. There's also a big community that allows you to 'test' various upgrades and map updates.

I've got a Garmin Nuvi, however mine seems to like to take the scenic route everywhere now for some reason.

Yeah, this has happened to me once. Was driving in the US on my weay to Orlando. There was a huge intersection - you know, the type where you have loads of raised roads all going over each other and looping around. It got really confused and wanted me to drive off the edge and fly I think. Sometimes you just have to use common sense
