Thought I would post this as been browsing in here for a few hours tonight,

I’m class one, and have never gone wrong with my cheap as chips fleabay ■■■■ nav in and out of London and beyond, until a can of pop burst and destroyed it…

Build quality was very poor, but lasted for 12 months or more and for the price was amazing, 7" clear screen.

Brought myself a 5150 tomtom now, I’m so disappointed for£300+ the Bluetooth dosnt work anymore (3 weeks in), the live services are good for a car but any simple route on truck mode takes 20-30 mins to work out, and from France keeps trying to take me to dunkerque port instead of calais or the eurotunnell, even if I put them as a poi, what are others thoughts on said product? I’ve contacted tomtom through Halfords with no response and I’m gutted. The chineese sat nav.didn’t have updates, but for the price it was a great bit of kit!!

Thanks,

Olliw

I’ve used a new snooper, borrowed it to get me to a drop in London and I’m sorry but I hated it!!!

The screen was unresponsive and unclear directions

It kept wining that I was In a 7.5t zone without trying to help me out, ended up using my Xperia z2 Google maps, no problem.

When it comes to tv’s these china-navs can come with freeview for about 70 quid, any experience with these?
