Hey guys.
After having a crap journey without a sat nav a few days ago, I've decided to get another sat nav. I want to spend about £100 on one, and have chosen the aforementioned sat navs, and wondered what your opinions are of them?
Are there any better, more acurate, more reliable sat navs out there for £100??
Any replies would be much appreciated Smile

Either of the 200W or 300 would be OK but personally in that sort of price range I would go for a Nuvi 250. My step daughter has a 270 (same as 250 but with additional USA mapping) and thinks it is wonderful.

Thanks for the reply mate.
Are there any noticeable differences between any of the 200, 250 or 300 units??

Apparently the traffic receiver module doesn't work. Is there any truth to this??

Hi Christiani

I bought a 300T two weeks ago and found that the traffic does work.

Tonight I left Bearstead in Kent at 17.20 my route would have been M20 to M25 then A2 arrive home at 18.00. The traffic showed a delay on the M25, the radio said 30-40 minutes, I entered "avoid" in the sat nav and it took me up Bluebell Hill then onto the M2 then A2 and I still arrived home at 18.00 and there are 4miles of road woks on the A2 with a 50mph speed limit.

So I are very pleased with the 300T and it cost me under £100.

Hope this helps.
