have a look in general chat as I was asking the same last week. In the end I went for the tomtom one - not had a chance to try it out yet though as it's an xmas present for someone. I heard quite a few people saying to avoid the road angel as it wasn't great for navigation so I didn't even look into it.

[Matt_16v]

the road angel one is good for navigation just not for picking up the camereas as u have to update it all the time i beleive whereas the actual road angel is constantly updating..... i think :P

[mozzawily]

I red somewhere that the road angel wasnt good for naviagtion so that put me off.... im roadlexic so need it to be good, plus im heavy footed so need it to warn me where mr camera is..... hmm theres a tom tom one for £268... seems a bit steep to me.

i paid 189 for my tomtom one,camera positions are very clear plus manual inputs too

tom toms good but not always upto date i've found - I once went through a river for 3 miles or so it told me as it didn't know the new road was there...

Explain to me how the fook you can do a legal u turn in water :lol:

I've got a Navman N20, not used any others, but this one does the job fine. Tells me about cameras, doesn't need updates as far as i'm aware and has a really easy to use 3.5" touch screen. Think it was on special at Costco for £150 with the vouchers, but it's a neat bit of kit. Very happy with it, it's not ****ed me over yet anyway lol

love the tomtom thinkn i've got the 500 or sumthin.... as already said though not always upto date and i sumtimes drive through fields!

if you have a decent phone, you can get tom tom for that and put the cameras on ect

The other way you could go is to buy a hand held PDA,say a dell axim x30 i got one of e-bay for £89 brand new,the sat nav software is all on the net for free plus camera info.
