Simply... I love my elderly S8 but the coating on the windows means that neither of my portable satnavs work (TomTom 1 and a Garmin something), nor does my Sony Android phone satnav or my wife's iPhone.

Have some long journeys coming up and would like to have a satnav. Could anyone suggest a satnav I might be able to find (ideally second hand) which has the capability of using an external aerial? Fair to say I'm reasonably 'price sensitive' so second hand preferred but will go new at a push.

Thanks!

This is probably a bit late now but the

Garmin Nuvi 650 has an external antenna socket and the official external antenna is readily available from Amazon.
I have a couple of friends with this unit and it's excellent, works throughout Europe (with maps on the SD card etc)

You can get GPS repeaters like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GPS-Signal-Antenna-Recei... that will allow you to use whatever kit you already have.
