Sadly I didn't get any cool gadgets for christmas, luckily my father did, a Garmin nuvi 250 Sat Nav system. My previous experience with Sat Nav has been with one integrated into a PDA, using Tom Tom Navigator 6. I thought this was very good, although time to "first fix" (time to first lock on to a satellite) took a long time.
My mother comissioned me to find a suitable device for my faher on a small budget and therefore having discounted the PDA hybrid option due to price I looked at stand alone devices.
The two that stood out were Tom Tom and Garmin, others just didn't seem to cut it - on paper at least. According to reviews the Garmin had a faster time to "first fix" and the maps were more accurate it was also cheaper with full European mapping.
Having tried it myself now, I can tell you it is excellent, the mapping is clear, it is easy to use and it is fast to acquire a satellitle signal. If you need a Sat Nav device on the cheap you cant do better than this.
