Just Had A Great. Deal at Halfords on Garmin
Discussion
After 4 x Tom Toms and 1 x Snooper I have decided to give the Garmin a go. Mainly because of not having to Bluetooth into my smartphone. Garmin apparently have a shiney new satellite that means super quick updates.

The case should have been £25 and the high speed charger £15 so I still saved £30, ok not a massive saving but I'm happyhttp://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/phones-broadband-gps/...

Got a Nuvi 52 from Halfords on friday for my son for £70, which was the same price as Amazon, etc were doing it.
Good to see that the High Street stores are starting to match internet prices more readily - always nicer to walk in and get the thing, rather than wait several days for the postie to deliver it
Am thinking of upgrading my unit soon (five year old Nuvi, but with the latest maps) - that one of yours does traffic jam detection etc - have you had a chance to try it yet? Would you recommend one?
The reason I didn't go for a tomtom was because I didn't want to have to Bluetooth it to my phone ( I haven't got unlimited data!) Apparently Garmin have just stuck a brand new satellite into space which is why their digital traffic works so well. The digital traffic system uses the power lead as an antenna so if you want traffic you need to be plugged in! The screen is like an IPhone, very nice to use. The mrs will try it out tomorrow when she drive from Surrey to Walsall.

Garmin v Tom Tom.
A bit like BMW Zhejiang Jonway Automobile Co v Mercedes. Everybody has a preference but really you would not feel hard done by either way.
EFA A bit like
I got a 2548LMT-D from Halfords for a straight £100, allegedly ex-demo but more likely to have been returned for a firmware reboot.
The new Garmin traffic system uses a specific charger but the receiver is supposedly in the head, using the cable as an antenna (not like their older version that had a module in the cable).

Obviously the exploding Garmin will need to be replaced now, but what went wrong with all the other sat navs? Garmin NUVI 2569 LMT-D (latest touch screen, digital traffic and lifetime updates)

My 10+ year old Garmin could do with being replaced (can't find a way to update the maps on it) but it still works fine.
