Sat nav Snooper/Avtex tourer one plus

Oh well, guess nobody bought the Avtex Tourer one plus as zero response, no worries now getting a new snooper for £129, having used it for approx 3 years at least I know it is of a reasonable standard

Tbh, I didn’t realise you were asking a question, Rufs, as I thought it was a complaint about your Snooper. 

We have the club’s Avtex Garmin without the dashcam add on because it’s a standard fitting in our van. It works well but I’m not sure I’d pay the asking price for it.

thats ok, it was a bit of a rambling post with the question embedded. These so called specialised sat navs are very expensive, and the annoying aspect is that they all, as i understand it, get their maps from 1 or 2 sources, tart them up a bit and then make all sorts of claims as to how good they are. I like the idea of built in dash cam and a good dash cam could cost you £50 - £100, but £400 for a sat nav    

I agree specialist sat-navs are not cheap, but they are based on truck sat-navs so the cost of the specialist map databases are much more expensive than car ones, which contain much, much less information. Having used both over the years I'd still pay the extra, but that's a personal thing.

There’s a benefit to having two separate units, Rufs. If one part breaks, you don’t have to bin the whole thing. 

I’ve had a Club version Snooper for several years, and have never had any problems with it.
