Easy answer, all mobile phones have SatNav free and frequent free updates. Play thru bluetooth, easy.[/QUOTE]

I looked at that but decided on the GARMIN Drivesmart 61 LMT. Mainly for the facilities it had and the larger screen. My phone is a reasonable size but I couldn't just glace at it with the ease of the GARMIN. Must be getting old.[bawl]

I agree the phone is certainly a very good solution though.

Via the phone bluetooth the audio guide navigation is very good, no need to be distracted by looking at a screen, car or built-in satnav.

Yes, it is very good but there are times I want to see what's on the screen, street names and lane guidance information etc. for example.
