CJ Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I am coming back to the UK in December for a 2 week visit and was thinking about getting a Sat Nav to help me get about. Seeing as it is only going to be used for 2 weeks I am looking at the cheapest option available. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Perhaps borrow one from a friend ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 Tomtom Are they the cheapest available then? They certainly weren't when I was living here. Perhaps borrow one from a friend ? That would be ideal my friend - but finding someone willing to give one up for 2 weeks may be difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd lend you my Tom Tom 720 but my concern would be it getting lost or damaged in the post, unless ofcourse your swinging by South B'ham then no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Are you hiring a car to get about CJ? I had one for a day the other day that came with nav, or most hire car companies can include the loan on a satnav. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you hiring a car to get about CJ? I had one for a day the other day that came with nav, or most hire car companies can include the loan on a satnav. A fellow member is lending me a car Rob - but I am pretty sure it wont have a sat nav with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Ring me Col and I'll tell you how to get there, problem solved. We have two Satnavs but again, we are a little out of the way mate. I could post post you one if you want, it's about 5 years old but still pretty up to date. H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Tomtom brand new about £100 or more, I am sure you can pick them up 2nd hand for half the price - check out ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a very kind offer my friend but i have just heard from my Ex wife and she says she has one to lend me so I am now all sorted. So, all we need to do now is organise the meet?

Chris Wilson Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Is the art of reading a map totally dead these days then? It's a small island with sensibly named places unless you feel brave enough to venture into Wales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 I am on it. Dates would be good though. I fly in on the 1st but I am going to be tied up until the 7th. So, any day from 8th until 12th - is that any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straightsix Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Is the art of reading a map totally dead these days then? It's a small island with sensibly named places unless you feel brave enough to venture into Wales. My map stops at the Welsh Border. It just says 'DANGER - KEEP OUT'. My sat nav starts to tremble as soon as I press 'L' twice...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
