    Hi Folks,

    Looking into getting a Sat nav system but I have no clue what to do....It ryhmed!

    I have seen some discussion on here awhile back and wondered what was the best option.

    Needed mostly for rural aberdeenshire.

    Thanks
    SO FAR, SO GOOD, SO WHAT ??

    Before you get the obvious "get a map" advice, best fo to Halfords to see the range and get them to explain them all, then leave and buy online
    I would advise Tom Tom, the best you can afford, unless, you want an aftermarket type, motorised head unit etc.

    I have used Tom Tom systems for years personally and at work and have NO complaints. :) :)

    All depends on what you want with it... Handsfree calling etc or just the Sat Nav.

    some options HERE
