In-car navigation systems are becoming increasingly popular, with more motorists turning to them for help in navigating and taking out the anxiety of driving down unknown roads. GPS technology has been in place since the 70s, however in the new millennium the technology has taken off to unprecedented levels and has became readily available for wider use. The market has grown rapidly, with a wide range of models now on offer. Customers can choose from a variety of systems that can cost in excess of 1000, to more modestly priced models of just over 50. To help you sort through this huge range, here are some of the best budget models, all of which have one thing in common; they help get you from A to B with the least amount of stress.
The Navman F20 Europe Sat Nav is a great model that offers a lot for a modest price; available for 125.73 (inc. VAT). The device provides not only full 8 digit postcode navigation and full European street maps, but also the convenience of nearest parking' and petrol' buttons, instantly showing the nearest place for a convenient pit stop, all of which is displayed on a bright 3.5" colour touch screen.
The tiny Garmin Nuvi 300 is slightly more expensive. Prices start at 135 but it comes highly recommended by many online reviewers. The model features a stylish and simple interface, ideal for users who do not want to be wasting time with various menus, and has a wide range of specifications. Further convenience is provided by many "must have" entertainment and travel tools, including an MP3 player, audio book player and a Jpeg viewer making the Garmin an indispensable travel tool.
For serious travellers, the Becker Z101 is an excellent choice, with prices starting at 130. The model combines leading-edge navigational capabilities with an exceptionally user-friendly menu. It also comes equipped with maps for 40 European countries, including points of interest, and is an ideal choice for all holidays on the continent. This data is displayed on a large 4.3" colour touch screen, rarely found on the lower price models.
Lastly, there is the Binatone X430, the cheapest of all the models, with prices typically under 100, leaving you with more money for essentials such as a windscreen chip repair. The X430 is also a widescreen model and features maps for 22 West European countries, whilst those remaining in the UK can find addresses easily with its UK postcode search function. A fun feature on the X430 is the choice of a 2D (flat view) or 3D (angled view) navigation modes whilst driving.
No matter the model you choose, a Sat Nav is only a driving aid, but it's one which will hopefully make your journey more pleasant.
