I'd not pay a premium for Sat Nav myself Sticky. Google maps on my phone seems to get me everywhere I want to go here, Europe and so far Bogota too... pretty much free too!
Untill you loose signal or do not have the ability to download via a network. you think you have a network signal in a lane in Devon ?
I don't actually use Sat Nav that much. I don't see why I would unless I was going somewhere I didn't know. How many people actually go to unknown places that often?
All the time, to see clients....try it without in the country round here...50% of roads have no name, post codes are vital or believe me you have not chance in hell of finding...Flower Cottage, the Lane, Bruton! without it.

Townist !, you will be telling me Wabitts and Foxey Loxie are cute next
I downloaded all the maps onto my phone so I don't need a network connection.
I did 3 years as a field service engineer in the nineties, with my trusty Berlingo van. I had an atlas and a couple of A-Zs. It was rare to go to the same place twice other than a couple of sites. Furthest South I went was Penzance, furthest North was Aberdeen. Never got lost, never had a sat nav. Did occasionally use Autoroute (remember that?) but it was ,erm, sh!te more often than not..
My missus uses the Tom-Tom all the time, I rarely, if ever bother. A quick glance at google maps will do for me, then I know where I'm going.
