Which Satnav

My old Garmin i3 has finally expired after some heavy abuse, so looking to replace it.

Would like a unit with bluetooth hands free.

Also interested in traffic info - do these radio/gps interface work well. E.g. see a delay on your route and send you another way. Do you end up getting re-routed all the time, possibly for no reason? Do you get a choice?

Also we have a heat reflective windscreen (Clio 182). I have heard that the new GPS chipsets don't have an issue - can anyone confirm??

Given all that, what can PH reccomend?? Cheers!

I won't need the traffic enough to warrant £8 a month subs.

Fancy the tom tom 530 and may use the bluetooth for traffic as required.
I gather that these units work with free TMC radio traffic but the service is crap.

Does the 'live' traffic work well?

Edit: I did read thecomments that it was 'better' but is it actually useful?

Just read that the latest firmware update removes the FM transmission of directions from the tom tom units. EU legislation that says you can't broadcast "Dead air".

that was one of the features that I liked.
