most will update over the web, but you will most likely have to pay for it

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.

Nokia N95

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.

Excellent help and great thread link. Thank you as always.

Think i'm gonna go Tom Tom XL

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.
