So many on the market and they all do the same job, from apps on Mobile phones etc.
I have an old cheapo jobbie called MYGUIDE that my father got for renewing is insurance, he gave it me and i have used it many times and its got everywhere with ease.
Also this cheap sat nav runs with a SD card and can play music and multi media, also i have found it can be hacked to run any tom tom software. if you so wish to download such programs onto the SD card.

I have a built in jobbie in my Ford Galaxy, and it works spot on also.
so many on the market thou it all depends what you want from the system. enter the poscode and away you go is what i need, speed camrea info is handy but they do not pick up mobile units, these are the most common really on the roads.
