passionwagon Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 8-) Hey folks have you seen this week's March 7 copy of Auto Express. They have a mega test of these and make various recommendations. Then go to your library and see March WHICH consumer magazine for theiir mega mega test. Would you believe it they both recommend different models!!! Also our MH friends' advise is totally different. How about that. However very interesting reading and is helpful. :-|

Diesel Dan Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 Auto - Express Verdict: For a full-spec machine, go for the Acer. It is our choice for those who have no need for a camera locator although, if you do not require a Bluetooth hands-free facility, the TomTom One is a good alternative. For an effective but cheap sat-nav, it’s hard to ignore the Navman F20. If you want to invest in a speed-trap locator, check out the reasonably priced yet high-spec combination unit from Shinco. Should your budget not stretch that far, the AA Vive is a good alternative. STANDARD 1. Acer P630 2. TomTom One V2 3. Navman F20 COMBINATION 1 Shinco GM350S 2. AA Vive 3 Garmin nüvi 610T For full results follow the link below http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/products/products/206909/portable_satnavs.html
colin Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 Still no report on Magellan Crossover it seems, a car/hiking/marine gps by swapping card, would have thought someone had done a test by now.
michele Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 Any views on a sirius anyone works on nav tec?. Good / Bad?.
terry1956 Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 Hi all, I had a navman ic510 for a few years, then made the mistake of buying a tomtom Go910, total rubish. It was at a knock down price, and I can understand why, most of the kit one will never use, and i find the tom tom site a bit misleading, a bit like tomtom realy. terry
mom Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Does anyone have any experience with the Medion GoPal SNA465? It is supposed to be "Editors choice" from a couple of sources, and is fully functioned and has eastern as well as western Europe at only £250?See Page 2 of....https://www.medionshop.co.uk/?areaID=43EB556315314DA2E10000000A00004AAlso, watch for the TomTom One V4 widescreen - it's on its way.
Mel B Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 What I never understand is how do they come to the conclusions when a lot of the time they only test 3 actually systems? Surely to be fair they have to test ALL systems???? 8-)
flicka Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 Diesel Dan - 2007-03-08 9:20 PM Auto - Express Verdict: STANDARD 1. Acer P630 2. TomTom One V2 3. Navman F20 COMBINATION 1 Shinco GM350S 2. AA Vive 3 Garmin nüvi 610T http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/products/products/206909/portable_satnavs.html I narrowed my choice between the Tom Tom 710 & the Navman F20, prefering the 710's capability (although I admit it is more bulky. I would have to question their verdict. regarding inclusion of the Tom Tom One for a few extra ££££'s the Tom Tom 710 includes European mapping to the street level (purchasing the Tom Tom One and then having to buy the European upgrade will cost far in excess of the Tom Tom 710) and it also includes Speed Camera locations. Don't have any knowledge about the Acer, but if it is the same company that produce PC's & Laptops they are usually aimed at the cheaper end of the market & it is regularly reflected in their lower specification.
