Apologies in advanced if this has been asked before!
Having always thought SatNavs were just for people who couldn't read maps I
have now come back down to earth and realised that I need one.
The choice has left me bewildered.
Can anyone recommend any decent and unbiased online reviews or comparisons
that would help me make my choice?
I do not want to subscribe to any subscription services as I only drive
occasionally.
Thanks

If you are referring to in-car models such as the nuvi 760T the 'T' means
that it can be connected to an FM traffic receiver which supposedly indicates
areas of traffic congestion etc. See the Garmin website for information on
this.

www.pocketgpsworld.com is probably your best bet for reviews. The problem is
that most people will only own one device and so can only give opinions on
what they have. I've had a TomTom GO700 for the last four or five years and
it's been brilliant (sat here at home in Preston, Lancashire, and entered
the address of our hotel in Gdansk, Poland, and it took us there without any
hiccups at all).
TomTom seem to have the major market share of satnav's for driving purposes
and I certainly love mine. You can add lots of POIs (Points Of Interest),
eg, I know I'm sad but I have KFC and Pizza Hut on mine, along with LPG
filling stations and many others.
Good luck in your quest.

Tomtom. Easiest to use interface and navigation is no better/worse than
any other.
They all have their individual mapping quirks and non are perfect
although Tomtom does have the ability to report errors and also to
download corrections other users have made.
