I have no idea on battery life out of the car! I don't do walking or biking that's what cars were invented for

Seems to get good reviews on ebuyer though!

And are the speed camera databases available easily??

On a slightly related note does anyone know of a walking maps for Tomtom Ones? It seems a shame to be looking at buying a hiking GPS when there's a perfectly nice bit of kit sitting in the car!! The Tomtom database is definately car centric. I switched it on the other day whilst walking down a tow-path by a canal and it went crazy trying to work out what road I was on!!

just ordered the wife one and one for the mother-in-law

Battery life with no plug in is about 3.5 hours I think. You can run MioMaps and Tom Tom on it as well clicky Get a couple of spare SD cards while you are ordering and try them out. I think Igo is a walking version if you can find a copy it should run on the Navigo.

I'm surprised you can get it to work at all, I have an N95 and the satnav was just useless so i cancelled it, it just refused to talk to satellites.

Mine works quite well, it does take a few minutes to connect though.

Tom tom and the speed camera database Can be very easy to come by if you send a u2u to the right person

I've got a N95 and find the satnav a waste of time takes ages to even find a satellite but what can you really expect from a phone! Would still be handy if you got lost and that was all you had!

Memory Map is pretty good for walking - possibly only available for windows phones? Anyway - something which is a moving-map rather than something which is trying to put you on a known road, then you can stride off across open spaces etc. Rescued attachment P1020234_1.jpg
