I have an earlier version of this type of device, I purchased around 6 or 7 years ago for about £45. This version is better and cheaper. If you look at the maps that are supplied with it, many companies would charge more for the maps alone. It’s a mystery how they can sell it for the price....

A few years ago I bought a Garmin Nuvi 65 with just UK/Ireland maps. It was the cheapest model I could find to suit my travelling arrangements. I am really pleased with it.
Updating is really simple and quick. Two weeks ago I went to update and found there was a new version to install - again it was easily done in no time. The screen is more than sufficient for my varifocal glasses. I do a lot of night time driving and I appreciate the way the screen automatically changes colours for night or day driving to make optimum ease of following the route. I never have the sound on, just follow the highlighted path to take.
Ever constant, in the top left hand corner of the screen, is a simple guide to show how many miles or yards there are before you have to take a turning, complete with direction indicator. This I find to be very useful.
If, for example, you are on a motorway approaching one of those occasions where you have to take a left or right fork (say the road becomes 2 x 2 lanes) the screen will split into two and the one picture shows your chosen route at street level. I can imagine this is ideal for any driver who islacking confidence in which lane to occupy. Setting the destination can be as easy as just typing in a post code.
In addition you can ask it where the nearest locations are for petrol, eating, shopping etc. Should you have a breakdown/accident it is so easy to get your location details for recovery.
All in all I find it a very useful bit of tech that is easy to use.

You might like to consider using the TomTom Go Mobile app on your mobile phone. It costs £14.99 per year (or £34.99 for 3 years). You get worldwide maps, traffic alerts, speed camera alerts and TomTom's reliability:
