I have a Tom Tom. It rings a gong if I am about to pass a camera and sounds a hooter and shows the speed limit if I speed at any time. Cost me under £90 from amazon.

My wife wants to know why men - who famously will not stop to ask for directions*- must always have the latest and best satnav.
[* not ever, she said knowingly, but I have no idea what she meant by this]
....just my opinion
Keep it surreal
You should tell her its because we like playing with gadgets

The TomTom was purchased to help my wife get to the hospital where I was having my hip op. In my car I have SmartNav. Very good in that it has traffic details. Sometimes it takes you on a 45 minute detour to avoid 10 min hold up.
I only use it when I am lost now.

I recently bought a "Navigo" from ebuyer for around £45, then promptly hacked it to add TomTom and Mio Maps.
Seems to work fine, mostly, except where I live in very very rural County Clare, it shows me that I'm driving over fields most of the time (I'm not, honest guv).
Also the fact that Ireland has no postcodes confuses it - I find it a pain in the bum and not worth the faff tbh - I'm an old-fashioned kind of lass who prefers maps.
