Sat nav help please can you help me buy a sat nav?
March 13th, 2010 | by admin |I’m thinking of buying a sat nav preferably for under £100. I would quite like one that gives alerts for speed cameras and has a good battery life as I don’t have a cigarette lighter in my car. I’ve been having a look at different ones but really confused now. Some of them say ‘free trial’ for speed camera detection is that the same for all or do some have it permanently. Do they also come ready to use or do you have to keep buying up dates. Advise regarding buying a sat nav with the above is greatly appreciated x
With most you have o pay for camera updates and they give a free trial to get you used to having them. they come ready to use but most do requirre updates to be paid for.
Under £100 will not get you much. Most do not come with a mains charger which you will need and most will only run for a max 2 hours on a fully charged battery so not having a power socket in your car is going to be a problem.

Buy a good map instead. It’s a lot cheaper. Alternatively go on google maps for a route before you go and print it out.
Sat Navs can lead you astray if you don’t really know where you are going.

I purchased a tom tom one 2 years ago and from my experience heres what i learned. Most nav systems do support the speed camera app however it is a yearly fee and most be connected to the internet though your computer to update and load local maps and speed camera locations.

Go to Halfords who have a good selection,tell then your requirements and ask them to recommend one to you.They also have a fitting service which may be a way round you not having a cigarette lighter in your car.
You dont have to buy from Halfords but if they recommend a certain model you can then look around for deals or second hand ones.

Take a look on the garmin or tom tom web sites. You could get a friend with a bit of knowhow to put you a socket in. Only other way of charging sat nav is via usb on the computer or a mains usb converter
