Off to France this weekend, so found an amazing satnav deal - Garmin Nuvi 255 WT EUR for £120 from Pixmania, scoring an average of 8.9 from 21 reviews, and with a 2 year warranty! It’s going to be happy travels!
Summer’s officially here and it’s holiday season. If you’re planning on trips closer to home this year, we’ve 
picked out a few sat navs to help you on your way. From the traditional in-car sat navs to handheld GPS trackers, you’re sure to find something to suit you.
For an in-car system that’s a bit different, check out the Navman S30 3D. You can see all landmarks in 3D and you can upload all the info about them and local attractions via the Navdesk on your PC so that you have all the interesting facts with you as you travel.
If you’re planning a road trip, Che Guevara style, you’ll want a rider sat nav. The TomTom Rider 2nd Edition UK & Ireland has a 3.5″ glove-friendly touch screen, helmet connection and Secure RAM mount. It’s also waterproof so you can splash though as many puddles as you like.
For the treckers amongst you, check out the Garmin eTrex H. It’s built for tough conditions, it’s waterproof
and it only has five buttons which can be easily operated with one hand. It will last up to 17 hours on just two AA batteries and will store up to 500 waypoints in its memory for easy retrieval. There’s also the TrackBack® system which will take you back to your starting point by reversing your track log.

Unveiled at the British Motor Show this week was the waterproof, multi-use navigator from Garmin. The nüvi 500 is great news for cyclists, drivers, walkers, and folks in boats as it can customise itself to whichever form of travel you undertake. It’s waterproof and built for adventure, providing turn-by-turn directions to get you when you want to be.
The different maps include TOPO for outdoor navigation and Blue Chart cartography for marine usage. Boat fans can also add the optional BlueChart g2 Vision marine cartography, which will show them wrecks, port plans, inter tidal zones and other clever boaty things.
Walkers will also feel special as there’s a digital elevation map option, compass page and tracklog so that you can track where you’ve been - great for knowing who to blame when you get lost.
All the usual suspects are also onboard (sorry), such as Garmin’s “Where am I” feature, which tells you your exact coordinates, traffic avoidance and millions of points of interest.
You can also navigate by photos by using the “Connect Photos” option which will give you access to Google’s Panoramio.
This would be a great little device for people that want navigation for all their forms of travel.
The nüvi 500 has a 3.5 inch TFT screen, weighs 215g and has a battery life of 8 hours. It’s set to be released in the UK in September for £299.
