Hi Peter, just looked at this and it seems almost too good to be true!
For the money, it is amazing!!! Can you tell me if it allows you to
enter vehicle size? i.e. car, motorcycle, camper an, etc.
ill take a look and let you know .
couldnt see a vehicle type selection , but on the matter of too good to be true , exactly what i thought but it is a good little machine ,works well and has a radio trasmitter built in so the sound from it can be picked up by the cars radio and bluetooth too, runs in windows CE has media player a few games etc , software available online (bit fiddly to load as you have to change modes)
Just to add my 0.075Euros…
Qualified member of the bumpy jumper brigade, hopeless at reading road signs (I blame being dyslexic - I can’t read the sign in time). Would never go anywhere that wasn’t a well-travelled bus route if it wasn’t for my TomTom. I have a TomTom ONE - serioulsy old now but the company still supports it, I get new maps every year, plus quarterly updates. Very intuitive interface. I tried a Garmin but couldn’t get with it. Voice is changeable, you can even record your own voice. Goes quite loud - can come as a bit of a surprise if you’re on the motorway and haven’t had any instructions for 20 mins to have have a voice suddenly pipe up an instruction like: “Ahead, keep right”! I do use the maps: I have it tucked in the bottom right-hand corner of the windscreen as this feels like the most natural place for me when driving. You only have to glance at it. The maps can help you identify which road you take when the layout of the junction is confusing; or it’s a really big island and you’ve lost count of how many exits you’ve already passed; or in cities when you’re told to take the next left but there are two possible roads within the 15m accuracy of a satnav! The map zooms in when you’re on the junction to make it clearer and and then pans out to show the route ahead when you’re on the straights.
Interesting your wife ony wants it for the sound and not the maps, I have a friend who hates being told where to go and wants it only for the maps! Everyone is different!
As with all satnavs it has its limits (like the average 15m accuracy), and it will take you where you tell it to take you, which may not necessarily be where you want to be: this is generally only a problem when using the postcode to get somewhere as you have also to put in a street number, and a surprising number of places don’t have a street number (e.g. pubs for MX5OC meets!) so you have to guess…and you can be at the wrong end of a very, very long road, or even on a different road completely (some official postal addresses bear little relation to where the building actually is)! I’ve taken to using google street view before the journey to get the ground-eye view of what I’m going to see when I get there, which helps enormously!
Thanks Peter, have since looked at the shop on eBay and there are some on offer there that allow you to enter vehicle size but they appear to be only available in 7" screen size, still looks a steal at £70 though, thanks for the heads up in the first place and thanks for looking for me.
i actually think the sat nav/ipod thingys are more dangerous than any mobile phone. why would one want to look away from the road to see a map?
as for the argument of having it in front of you then surely it will just obstruct your view.
ok i’m just an old fashioned bloke (luddite) who plans the route beforehand & doesn’t get lost. 
just bought the cheapo job on recommendation from PETER9353 & someone elsewhere.
brilliant & yes it does have vehicle type input; car/taxi/bus/bike/pedestrian so presume bus would cover caravans?
