GARMIN nuvi 215

 

Basic and compact GPS device that excels in offering navigational guidance. It is a bit overpriced for what it offers though.

Garmin Sat Nav

 

Excellent product - really pleased with it. Easy to work and stays put on my window screen. The screen is a nice size and the routes are calculated very quickly - even if you take a wrong turn!
