tom tom tells you what gear to get in too approaching roundaboutsBut what will you do if it ever stops working?
drive an automatic
does the Chinese sat nav come preloaded with a menu coat hat taxi, or should that be coat hat rickshaw
does it give traffic information like tom tom does for FREE with the rds tmc charger
tells you when there are delays on your route
does the chinky one do that NO
the ones i bought do this, both have a rds tmc 
does the tomtom have a slot to put a micro sd card in and play films, nope

tom tom tells you what gear to get in too approaching roundaboutsThere’s FREE traffic info on the radio. Radio 2 and Radio 5 live every 10 mins or so.
There is also Free traffic info on pretty much every radio station in each county if you have it set for TA Search!!
you really need something to tell you what gear to be in!!■■ next you will be wanting one that tells you when to indicate, when to accelerate, when to put the handbrake on, and even when to change your tacho to break or rest!!!

it tells me what size bra I should be wearing.
I’m more interested in the material it’s made from… 
I recently purchased a similar one and the only thing wrong with it is you cannot see the screen in daylight unless you look very close,you don’t have that problem with a garmin or tom tom ,and unfortunately I will have to splash out for a garmin ,the Chinese ones should have an anti glare screen
I have one of these Chinese made satnavs, 7" screen, ability to set up truck dimensions, detachable anti glare cowl. Think it was around the £55 mark last year. Never took me to the wrong place and much better than trying to find someone that speaks English to get directions from.
I’ve also been using one on & off for about a year, only a couple of complaints - It nags me to update which I’ve tried to do using the instructions provided for downloading new files but it doesn’t seem to recognise them as it still occasionally says I need to update. Also, haven’t found a way to tell it about the new speed limits so the warning is forever flashing.

I never got an anti glare cowl I paid £70 for mine

iv had mine a while. i was thinking of changing to a tomtom ,to get better updated maps- so i went into Currys and tried out a few tomtoms
typing in addresses that are new in the last year or so- lo and behold the tomtoms are not very up to date either!
the ones in the shop havent been updated silly man
when you first buy one you have to connect it to the computer and a programme called tom tom home
and then you get all the latest updates
