Afternoon all,

Having just been delivered a new company car I am on the hunt for a portable sat nav system. My previous company motor had a built in system but given the cost of the integrated unit I didn't tick that box this time around.

My needs :

Easy to use please
decent window mount included - I dont want to have to spend another £50 on accessories
As long a free update period as possible
Not a smartphone suggestion
One that I could plan a route into. Rather than simply just getting me to point (A) I'd like to use it for touring around with on random Sunday drives.
Under £100 approx although I'm not adverse to buying something decent if it's worthwhile.

Background :

I'm in the North East of Scotland if that makes any difference. Main uses will be for finding customer offices in and around Aberdeen, used on the occasional trip south into the central belt and on cross border raids to Englandshire.
No real need for one that includes "Safety" scamera locations

EDIT: to say why. It works pretty well and I have used it in most of central and southern europe as well. Traffic information is decent, can still be used with PocketGPS and it should be fairly cheap now with still a lot of map updates.
