Been using an early Navman for a few years now and I'm looking to upgrade.
Thinking about a Navman s90i which I've found for £150 or the Becker Traffic Assist 7827 which Halfords have at £119, anyone using one of these and if so what are your experiences?

cheers,
John

got a becker traffic assist 7934, was in oxford the other day, all the streets and name tags repeated themselves into infinity and used it as a talking map reader, must have had50+ tags for the same street which filled the map, not used it since so hope it is ok

worked pretty well upto then, it does not know all the vilages and the like and often only one listed even if more than one in reality

sometimes i get offered to go down country lanes and will often use them, as keeps me awake and more fun than some roads, the passing places need to be used more

when I get a suggestion to go down road that is culdesac or not suitable for motor vehicles, then I ignore the sat nav smile
