Re: TomTom,Garmin or Navman Reply #15 - 01. Jun 2009 at 21:35 Got a Garmin, it's been excellent. Only trouble is it now needs updating......£60 Barely worth that SH, so will buy a cheap new replacement for just over £100 with up to date mapping. Mick

I, personally, use the A-Z paper navigation system Roll Eyes

It's never let me down Thumbs Up!

We used to, but always ended up in an argument when my navigator couldn't read a map, which then lead to a tense, silent trip.

Since satnav, in car arguments stopped overnight

Glad it worked for you. I now get "why is it sending us this way?", etc... In the end Mrs. KW ends up vetting directions from the Tom Tom before passing them on to me if she agrees with it. Grin

That doesn't work too well when "pressing on", of course. Wink
