Sat Nav Buying Guide

Car Satellite Navigation devices used to be quite expensive but in the past couple of years prices have dropped dramatically. Today, there are devices for every budget and every lifestyle regardless of the tax bracket you may fall under. 

There are things consumers should be aware of when spending their hard earned money to ensure they are making an informed decision.  The latest feature on your sat nav should have blue tooth to sync to sync with your mobile phone and get live traffic updates so you have the option of rerouting when things get cramped on the M1. 

You can also get sat nav on you mobile phone like the TomTom iPhone app, which is available for £99 at the TomTom store.  Another option is the Google app for the Android phone which is completely free.  Recently Google came out with Google Maps 4.2 where biking routes are being included as part of the GPS package. 

The latest sat navs also have been incorporating speed cameras which help to avoid traffic offenses.  If that is an issue of yours, it might be worth the extra money to invest in a device with one, because you would save money in the long run if you were avoiding tickets.  

TomTom is the number one name in sat nav manufacturer in the UK, followed by Garmin and Mio respectively. Generally you will not be disappointed if you stick with these names and get the updated versions. Always shop around for deals and definitely don’t be afraid to look online. Prices generally start at £79 and go up to £300 for the feature packed models.
