France Holiday Beckons - what do I need.

[bearman68]

OK, following on from the I'm stuck in France with no wheel thread.

1) Breakdown insurance purchase. (Obviously won't need that with a 2001 diesel Frontera )
2) One of these (Are they any good?) BINATONE U505 SAT NAV, GPS, UK & WESTERN EUROPE MAPS, LARGE 5in SCREEN.
3) Warning triangle all ready to go.


Do I need:-

• A blow in the bag breath alcohol tester?
• Anything else not on the list?

Many Thanks

You need a hi visit jacket or vest for every person in the car and it can't be kept in the boot.
You need a full set of replacement bulbs.
You don't need a breath test kit (they removed that one a year or so ago).

Sat navs I'd recommend a TomTom with European maps. Used ours the last two years and its been excellent.

Thanks for that- I had a Binatone UK unit, and it has been fine, but your recommendation for the TomTom has swayed it, and I've just bought one. Thanks.

on the sat-nav front, I used my iPhone for all my navigating in Europe, its lacking in some sat-nav functionality (routes etc) but the ability to be able to search for where you want or find things like the cheapest fuel makes up for all the missing sat nav functions.

Will not have I Phone..... Will not,,,,,, will not.....must not..
