cheap gps?

[acex1138]

seen a few cheap gps's around atm, checked on ebay and found the usual too cheap to be any good.

Looking around 150-250 amount, anyone know a good one to reccomend?

Navman S35, i have one, should be bit under 250, year old now but has spoken street names and basic stuff you need

my vote goes to the navman aswell, picked up a s100 for around 300 at the start of the year so they should have come down a bit by now, pretty flash for the price...

I've just gotten one of those cheapo no name 4.3" Ebay GPS units and it works fine, comes with Igo8 with TTS capabilities but have also managed to get TomTom software running perfectly on it

It came with the latest R15 map for Igo8 but I'm thinking of upgrading to 8.3

Also has AV in so you could hook up a reversing camera to it

Binatone from Big W.

Can get a 4.5" Binatone with 2009 map upgrade for $199

The GPS picks up well also. with 3D maps ect...

[acex1138]

how reliable is the binatone, does it have bluetooth and media control abilities? i can pick one up there with staff discount (its 160 on sale, can get it for 155)

also you can hack gps units, been reading about hacking the binatone to run off tom tom gear. doesnt seem to have media or bluetooth tho

i picked up some good garmin one for about $40, altho most likely it was stolen..

Binatone are quite reliable. though not as good a quality as say Navman.

I paid $199 for mine from JB hiFi about 2.5 years ago never missed a beat..

Best to shop arond get a price from one plece then ring somewhere and get them to beat it.
