Which Sat Nav thread to go for ?

That’s a very difficult question to answer . . . but I’ll probably go for
the TomTom 5150 thread with built in Teasmaid and Coffee maker.

Deffo! 
I did think there had been a glut of threads on satnavs recently.
Still, a fairly important tool for most of us, apart from the ■■■■■■■■ that enjoy getting lost! 
if you are not buying a truck sat nav then to be truthful the one that came on my Samsung phone is brilliant, its never not got me to where I need to go and you can street view it straight away as soon as you have put the destination in, so to be honest I can’t see the point of buying a separate sat nav any more 
The big weakness with the built-in stuff on smartphones (aside from the absence of truck-friendly routing) is that they don’t normally hold the map in memory, so if you happen to be outside 3G/GPRS coverage when you fire it up (or you are stuck in a traffic jam on the M25 and everyone else is trying to use their phones) you will just get the spinning ‘Busy’ cursor on an otherwise blank display while it tries to download the map.
