Expert answer

The satnav giants are TomTom and Garmin and it is a bit like Coke vs Pepsi, in so far as people generally like one over the other. We tend to like TomTom here and the latest and greatest is the new Go LIVE 1000, which has live traffic updates and will change your route depending on the weather conditions, incidents and speed cameras. 

The Go Live 1000 costs €279 and TomTom LIVE is free for the first 12 months and then €49.95 for the second year of subscription. 

I have a couple of TomToms and they are great. Also if you have an iPhone, the TomTom App is really good and that means you don't need to carry two devices around.
