I think quite a few people on here like the Tomtom one. In fact I got one on their recommendation and I like my one....

i had the tomtom before it got stolen from home, i was then given a navman, tomtom is far superior in usability , just never replaced the navman cos
it always gets me to the place i need to go without a prob and i have used my brothers garmin again it does what it says on the tin, but if i needed a
new satnav for whatever reason i would go with tomtom everytime

Have a look at this thread mine came yesterday its the second one I've brought now loaded up with tom tom and speed camera database great bit
of kit for the money!
Navigo sat nav
Although just checked the price and they have now gone up to £54.99 but if you keep your eye on them the price seams to go up and down! Its took me a
couple of months to get the second one at £49.99 but I was in no rush still cheep at £54.99.

£50 Navigo from ebuyer, then install Tomtom 1 software 
That's what I did, I also have MioMap and Turbodog installed, it's also a PocketPC (when hacked), bargain...

It's cheaper at Amazon - £90.99 and free delivery.
I have that model and it works fine. I think TomTom is about the best/easiest software but not impressed by their customer support. A lot of things
they push aren't quite as good as expected. The map share thing is OK but only covers relatively minor changes and not new roads. The TomTom
Home software is OK for downloading updates but some of the updates are not compatible with the unit. The latest version software, for instance, adds
a traffic subscription button to the menu, but since the unit does not have bluetooth, to link to a phone to get the traffic service, its useless.
When I questioned it they just said 'yeah, thay all get the same update, just ignore that bit'. I've reverted to the previous
version. It allows you to download routes too (or itineraries) but the unit does not have an itinerary function. There are internet sites which
explain how to 'hack' it back to previous TomTom One software which I've tried. That gives you itineraries but then you lose map
share.
You can get a traffic aerial for it however which then gives you unlimited free traffic service, but its another aerial to attach to your screen.
Still a good unit in itself, small and handy. Mine is actually the Europe version and it served us very well driving down to Italy and back.

I too have a Navigo, installed on it now is TomTom, TurboDog and MioMap. Other than the 3 satnav programs it also has MP3 player and Video player.
All fitting onto the 1 gig card that came with it
