Sat Nav

C_Breeze

Hey,

I'm looking to get a sat nav , but dont really know what i should go for.

Ideally id like to spend around €300 (is this enough)?

And get one that warns you of speed cameras location and has most up to date mapping.

I heard Garmin are good but do they have speed camera warning?

Can anybody recommend something? thanks

Few similiar threads in the GPS forum already.

One of my family have recently gotten a TomTom. It cost €400 and it doesn't warn about speed cams and you can update maps and the like from the web. Some cost money to get though.

I got the Garmin Nuvi 250 from Komplett a few weeks ago, Its a great piece of kit i must say, havent had a problem with it at all. You can update the software and maps relitively easy from the Garmin website and as far as im aware you can download the speed camera info aswell,

there also an easier way to avoid speeding fines....It's something like eeeeemmmmmm...don't break the speed limit...something like that anyway can't remember

I have just got a TomTome One Europe and I can say it reminds me of speed cameras once I set it up.

You basically have to have a POI category set up with a warning sound. I think your friend might have to download the latest application software for his TT, as its only available to do on that.

You can then add as many speed camera locations as you want as POI's to this category. As you approach them, the unit will beep at you and tell you how far you are from it. I've set mine for a 750m heads up warning which is plenty time to ease off.

Irishspeedtraps.com will be publishing a list of all the fixed & mobile cameras in Ireland as GPS locations next month, so if you have the time, you can add them one by one.

Nuvi310 is about that price now and I find it very good, think you would have to update the speed cameras individually yourself but apart from that it's a great little unit.
