Time to change Satnav

Consider CoPilot on your tablet. It's about £40 and works off line. Maps take up about 3Gb for Europe.

We use an Aguri 520 camper version and have had no problems in France, Spain and the UK. Built in dash cam, also available with 7 inch screen.

I use CoPilot on a small iPad but it works just as well on a phone. There is a caravan/motorhome version for about £50 but I think you can try it for free. 

 

Here WeGO on tablet or phone with downloaded Navteq maps. Best maps and really good interface.

I have the Garmin Camper one and it has been quite good although there is a need to check the routes.  I started with a TomTom and wish they had caravan friendly model.  

Hi, we have sat-nav built in on the car but do have a very old tom tom that we used to use when abroad as it has 'major routes' only so wont be sending you down unsuitable roads.

However just this weekend been thinking about sat-nav for one of the grandchildren and it occurred to me that when not in the car everything map related is done using Google maps. I make a lot of use of the maps in general but find street view invaluable for looking at detail such as approaches to sites etc so I know what I will be seeing when I get there.

I then had the thought that as Google maps do sat-nav directions and it is something that will be familiar, not that tom tom is difficult to use, what was the point in looking at anything else.

The only concern is that with the phone in view will there be a temptation to use it for calls etc. I keep my phone out of reach and have it set up so I do not get calls texts etc while driving so will need to consider doing the same. 

How many people use the stand alone Satnav in preference to the build in Satnav in the car which if you are very lucky gets updated once a year at considerable costs.  We use our TT in preference to built in Satnav.

Depends on the age of the vehicle I suppose how up to date the inbuilt maps are but Google maps is being updated all the time and at no cost to you.

My TT is still in the car but cannot recall when it was last used-certainly not in this cay so almost two years now.

i much prefer my garmin to the one in my kia BUT  as previously mentioned...my garmin has a built in dash cam which is a complete no  no in portugal s will have to use the kia one on my holiday this year (assuming we are allowed to travel in the eu !!!)
