what do I want ?

[Guyon]

I am just about to give up my Avensis with Sat nav and my new car has been ordered without. Mainly because for the cost I think the unit in the Toyota is so-so.
However I can not go without. Trawling the web and shops I do not know which unit to go for. It is most important that I get clarity,accuracy and speed of calculation, it would be nice to have a speed camera warning and I think I would like to be able to use it on my motorbike. I am leaning towards the Garmin Streetpilot 2610 but what do you guys reckon ?. Cost is secondary to quality, if it is worth it I don't mind paying.

I think I am on my own there then. Nice to meet such unopinionated people

Ive recently bought a Mitac Mio 168, must admit im loving this unit, fits in your pocket battery life is excellent, and i got a seperate gps receiver included, and a windscreen bracket. All for £220.

I would reccomend the mitac 269. we have over 50 of them and they compare extremely well to the tomtom units. for the price you can't beat them.

I am looking for a portable satnav unit for my taxis. One we can swop from car to car. Any suggestions? Price? Cheers

I got a Mio 168 with TT5 and it is brilliant. Only issues I have are with the completely awful user manual with TomTom5 and not much in the Mio manual (simple stuff like choosing GPS option is not there!!). TT5, once it got going is very user friendly. The Mio is excellent as a walk about GPS and for use in the car.
Mio 168 might take a minute or 2 to lockin so sat signal (longer if you are moving) but other than that it is excellent
