Aldi have got a spacknav in.

http://www.medion.de/ms/aldi/md96920/uk/flash.html

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?

In particular, has anyone got any idea how I'd go about updating the camera
database?

The **** from work that just left had a Medion SatNav. It was ****ing
rubbish with no support at all.

It never did work properly either.

I have had loads of satnavs & the only one i would ever use is the Garmin
Zumo 550 i bought recently. It's waterproof so can be used on the bike &
also it has all the relevant car stuff too. It has cameras & updates easy.

Not cheap, but worth every penny.

Actually, it isn't the best satnav at all, the one installed in my Discovery
3 is superb, but it's installed by Land Rover.

related:

You can get camera updates for just about every system on there.

Most Medion units are Windows Mobile based which makes it easy.

That's the sort of thing I'm wondering about. No good having an all singing
all dancing thing for feck all if you can't update it or it ****s up.

Kinhell. I'm not looking to spend anywhere near that kind of money. It only
needs to work in a car - I often have to go to out of the way places for
work. £150 would be about the limit.

TomTom One is very decent then.

My brother bought an old medion from a **** at work for £20 because "I
can't get this piece of crap to work". 10 minutes after he got home he
plotted his first route and drove it to make sure it worked.

So, maybe not totally crap, but maybe not totally upto date, and maybe
not the easiest to operate, but it does actually appear to work.

And easily hackable to run that 'evluation' copy of tomtom that may or may
not be available in torrent format.

Mmm, tricky...

If you're ok spending £150 on a Sat Nav to be fair, you may as well just get
one of the big name ones, as frankly (and not just snobbery) they are better
IME. The software is better, they don't crash, better screens etc etc. I
have a Tom Tom One XL Europe - I think it was about that price, it has speed
cameras on from PocketGPSWorld, and maps of UK and Europe. Seems to do
everything you want from a Nav, except I can't look back at stats of the
journey like max speed and stuff after I'm done. Which is of course quite
irrelevent, but sometimes would be mildly amusing heh. Unless I can do it
and I just haven't found the option - which is of course of a possibility.
