    I am looking for advice on what sat nav to buy.
    Basically I travel all over Ireland (except the north) meeting clients.
    This is what I need:
    • Get in the car in the morning and type in all the places I have travel to for the day.
    • Have the sat nav automatically plan the best route to all
    • Or give me the option to dictate which place is first on the list.
    • Bluetooth connection for phone
    I want a decent brand with the option to update maps.
    Any recommendations of which and where to buy

    My TomTom Go 910 (Go 930 or 940 would be the current equivalents iirc) can do most of that via Itinerary planning.iirc what it won't do though is tell you that the logical route from client A to client C is via client B - but you can sort the order yourself by moving items up or down your itinerary and it'll then direct you to your clients in whatever order you've chosen.

    Assuming you regularly visit the same clients you can predefine them as favorite destinations or POIs and add/remove them as/when your client base may change.

    iirc any of the TomTom Go series would suit your needs as they all also have Bluetooth whereas the One/One XL don't.

    No doubt Garmin's, etc.. have similar functionality.

    thanks for the quick reply zing

    i have been looking at the tomtom go 730
    it is very sleek looking and seems to have alot of features
    it seems a bit pricey but I reckon i will be using it 2-3 days a week at least
    the cheapest i have found it so far is on dabs.ie for €294

    do you know if the 730 does the route planning the same as the high 9xx models.
    if so are there any substantial differences with the 730 and the 930
