Navman ICN750 vs TomTom One GB vs ViaMichelin X950

[Zondaf]

I’m looking to purchase a Sat-Nav for between £100 and £160. I’m looking at 3 models – the Navman ICN750 (£160), TomTom One GB (£150) and the ViaMichelin X950 (£128 with a case). I don’t really need european maps at the moment but I need speed cam locations and maybe traffic updates in the future.

The Navman has a 4GB HD but what benefit is this over SD cards, also the ICN750 isn’t a current model anymore so does that mean no more firmware updates will be issued?

The cost of map updates seems to vary a lot too: Navman - £99, ViaMichelin - £73 and TomTom - £30-40. ViaMichelin offer a 2yr warranty, whereas the others only offer a yr.

Any advice welcomed.
Thanks

This doesn't answer your question be here goes anyway !

Consider the Navman N20.Loads of internal memory.SD expansion.Comes with Uk and ireland loaded, and three cd's with euro street level maps.
No silly MP3 player (got a cd player that does mp3 for that in my car) no silly bluetooth for talking to your 'phone.
Just a decent car sat nav for £160.
Used mine a load in teh last 4 weeks and can't fault it.POI loader is simple enough,adding extra maps is straight forward.
I can see your point about new maps at £99 though !
I really fancied a garmin Nuvi of some description, but could not justify the extra cost.TomTom for me was like buying a Canon dSLR camera.Competant and a no-brainer.However you'd always wished you'd bought something else ! (A Pentax K10D for me !!)

The N20 is by far the best current sat nav from Navman.Wayyyyyyyyyyyy better that the silly F series IMHO :D
