Avoid NAVMAN at all costs. I work for a mate part time in his marine dealership and they suck.

Always coming back for warranty and repairs.

Mate has a Tom Tom and it seems to be the goods.

[Deano]

it dosn't need to be anything fancy just touch screen (the bigger the better) and tell him where to go.

he is not that great with technology as i think he is still struggling to work out the dig camera i got him last year.

the simplier the better

the one i got is made by a firm called tevion uses tomtom softwaRE THO 3.5inch screen works ok but tom tom gear is the bollox supercheaps doin deals on em

Got me a navman about 4 years ago. And it still sucks.............

My dad's got a Garmin, I've used it a few times now, it seems alright.

Mines a gregorys - A4 size screen, touch/interactive....street directory...

Around here the sat navs always point you to roads that are either 2 seconds behind you, unfinished, not even started, or 100m off to one side

heard good things about tom tom though. some of the cheaper ones have some shitty chinese software (probably the ones I was using)

Buy your mum a Melways and get her to read out the directions:D;)

Yeh a mate of mine has a NAVMAN & it does the job, but it has been known to get us lost more than once! The TomTom is the go!

[DiscoDan]

Agree, I've had a TomTom for a while with good success. It's worthwhile spending a bit extra (still under $400 I think) to get the One XL which is a bit bigger and has the SD card slot so you can upgrade maps or change regions easily

I got the Tom Tom for bike, went down the road at 100kph and still works fine.

For anyone i would suggest a 4.3" screen, just makes things that much quicker to understand, and for bang for your bucks TOM TOM is the way to go. As far as functionality the Garmin is probably the best but I would go for the TOM TOM due to their maps (whereIs) and way point technology.

[CBRRRT]

I would suggest stoping your bike, lifting your visor and saying "Ear mate, joow know the way to"...............

Tom Tom for best Value for money - Garmin base range for best quality and more advanced plotting features.

He using it for car only or other things like, fishing, camping, hiking etc?

[Merlyn]

My sister got a Meyo or Neyo or something and has had no problems whatsoever, my dad has a navman, its ok... no problems yet

[Deano]

well i got a tomtom for him, xl one with the big 4.3 screen $337 bargin. i think

thanks for the help/advice guys;)

[Weaselman]

[Bear]

Tom Tom or Garmin. Garmin for anything more serious than touch and follow.

[Deano]

my old man may even struggle with touch and follow mate

[rock hard]
