nothing for £100 - at least £180 for a TomTom One GB imo.
That is the least I would spend on one, you will get nothing worth having for £100.
Hope I helped!

good old 99p atlas does just fine!
also if all this stuff about sat nav being just as bad as using a mobile
you wont have wasted £100-£200 on something they can give u 3 points for using!

navsure? but its total garbage, IMO save up and get a decent one, really depends what you want it for but to tomtom1 GB is £180.
But for £20 you can get a Garmin 510 which comes with bluetooth hands free calling, european maps on cd and i tihkn it was traffic or camera updates, on or the other cannot remember.
But for £200 its a bargain.

Road Angel Navigator 6000. Most places have dropped prices down to £179.99 (RRP is £249.99). Combined navigation and speed camera locator etc (also plays MP3s, lol)

Garmin C510D can only be bought from Halfords, and does not have bluetooth handsfree calling, but has both traffic updates and speed camera updates free for life - I assume this is the one your talking about? It is £199.99 at the moment.

They have dropped the prices down as there is the newer Navigator 7000 coming out, but in my opinion I would steer well clear of them.
Most people don't realise that almost all satnavs now can have speed camera locations added to them, and with the TomTom One GB being much better at mapping, and then being able to download the speed cameras for free from pocketgpsworld.com, or from TomTom direct for £20 a year, that is a much better option than the Road Angel, as it truly is shite at navigation.
