Aldi have got a spacknav in.

It's £150 quid, has Trafficmaster, camera locations, maps for what looks
like most of western europe etc. Good value or an oddball piece of ****e?

Right. Much hunting later and I've found out the following:

1) Garmin class roads by speed limit, which means that they often think an
unclassified road is just as speedy as an A or B road. Not good for me as I
often end up needing to travel to places in the middle of nowhere in the
dark.

2) Tomtom one or whatever replaces it is what I'll be getting. And then
when I want new maps, I'll flog it and buy a new sat nav, as it seems map
updates cost so much cash there's no sense bothering with them.

3) Handsfree stuff on sat navs apparently doesn't work well.
