Cheap GPS Choice

Friend of mine picked up a viamichelin 950 at asda today for £140 and i have spotted an Aytobe at an electrical store on offer for £100.

Now in you opinions, which is the better device?

ViaMichelin 950
Aytobe

out the 2 , i`d say the viamichelin 950
that Aytobe looks very cheap and nasty
also you can get a tomtom for about £149 which would be better than both of those

How beneficial is a tomtom over the viamichelin?

I got a Navman F20 for £99 a couple of weeks ago. Full postcode search and speed cameras. Great value, does everything Tom Tom did on my phone.

Looking at tis viamichelin, it has full post code search, POIS, speed camera's etc...

I dont see what the tomtom's have over this unit?

It Probably depends on who's provided the maps for the ViaMichelin device. If its by Navteq or TeleAtlas then it should be ok.

Same, pretty pleased with mine although I've only had a play with it, haven't used it for real yet so I'll reserve my full judement for now.

Neither is the better choice. ViaMichelin's routing is particularly horrendous.

Why bother with this rubbish when you can get a TomTomOne for £135?

Better brand for a start. Tom Tom has its own Plus services, I don't know whether that would interest you?

tomtom also has more support for custom POI's, better mappig, live traffic support etc
