mine is a navman....can't think of the model number but it was cheap and is really good. picks up all the fixed speed camera and red light camera's as well which is really helpful . i wrote more on it in the attached thread.

Garmin Nuvi 260W for the lower budget
Garmin Nuvi 760 or TOMTOM GO720 if you can spare a couple hundred extra. Just got the Nuvi 760 and its the best ive ever used. I highly recomend garmin as they offer the most reliable navigation.

It's what I'm using now and it does the job. But I've been doing a little bit of looking around, and I think I might end up with a Garmin. They seem pretty nifty.

yeah if you want your phone battery to die within half an hour. you could never use it on a trip more than that. one of my mates used the sat nav on his N95 and his phone died about 10 mins before his destination = very lost. i suppose you could hook up a car charger though??

I used my GPS once on a full battery with voice guidance and by the time I reached my destination (1hr 15mins) I was on two bars. I sent two messages and then my phone died.

i suppose you could hook up a car charger though??

The next day, I bought one.

You then need get TomTom, which I can't post links to here. It works by emulating the internal GPS as a bluetooth GPS.

Why would you navigate somewhere without it charging? When I used to use my PDA with TomTom I had a car charger, the battery on that lasted longer. But having the charger is how to fix your problem.
