the first question is do you want a lil portable unit or an inbuilt one that would go to on the screen in a ba-bf with prem sound.
I have a navman and its really easy to use, never had a problem with it. Dad has a tomtom and same deal never had a problem with it, its also easy to use. On the tomtom you can download extra voices if you want to listen to ozzy osborne swearing and telling you where to go. |

If you just want something basic and don't need all the jazzy stuff then get the one from Hyenas group buy. Thats what im doing and it looks to be awesome for the $220 price. It is advertised for about $350 on ebay I believe.

| I have the TomTom One XL and have had no problems with it, it has free updates and very simple to use. Be careful with some of the cheaper ones as updates may have a fee involved. |

I did see that funnily enough. I was just checking to see if all tomotom models are like this and whether or not they still offer free updates, as this post was back in 2007.
Do any other sat navs come with free updates? |

| I have a base model Garmin and it's never let me down. But tomtom's seem to be the standard for whatever reason. Custom voices probably lol. |

I just bought a TomTom ONE. It's only been out for a little while and has a much better mounting bracket then the previous model and it also has spoken street names for when you have to turn. I like how you can search for things in the area like service stations, Food outlets etc and it can direct you there.
Anyone know of some of the links to download different voices for TomTom? Still in the learning phase of it at the moment and I am the type of person that never reads the instructions manual  |

It's the internet. You must not be looking hard enough. SURELY someone out there has found a way to pirate the maps.  |
