You know how it is, just because you have one the inlaws think you are some
expert on them. My sister in law has asked me to buy for her hubby a sat nav
with the max price Ł100 for this Christmas. I have had a look at some on
ebuyer, amazon etc but really do not know what makes a good one. I would be
grateful for any advice for or against any particular model.

Thanks

There are a few solutions sub Ł100 and I cant reccomend any. Maplin
have one that runs Smart2Go (Code A99HG) at Ł99.00 but Smart2Go is very
basic.

You would be much better advised spending the extra and getting a
Garmin Nuvi or TomTom ONE, both of which csot about Ł150 but are very
much better solutions.

You could have a look at a Navman S30 for about Ł120 if you shop around.

User Interface isnt as intuitive, poorer custom POI support. Its
also very slow when accessing menus, entering addresses etc.
