Cheapest new Sat Nav is £60 in currys.
But defo not with MP3. I thought expensive Tom toms came with MP3?
Cheapest solution would be to sort 2 separate things.

when i said £125 was a bit expensive i meant as its 2nd hand & quite an old model (they seem to go for £50-£70 on ebay)

i dont mind paying more, but it has to be able to do what i want it to?

Why would you pay your mate £125 when you can get the same on ebay for £50-£70?

Mate's rates are usually lower I thought

Hmm. Checking now....thats not a bad price so long as it has an audio out/earphones socket

Not the one I bought, I got the basic GB ONE model and "upgraded" it with special downloadings

Likely in my case. Got a freebie MP3 player from Sony (only 512mb but its OK) with their new SonyCard so will be investigating this route

It has.
It's saving is it runs off 4 x AA batteries which are not recharged when you connect it to either cigarette lighter or USB (both cables included as are 4 x non rechargeable alkaline batteries).

Full postcode seach though! and large 2.8 inch screen

Help! Where's it at? Can only find a £99.99 version?

(can't post a link cos they're session specific)

I bought one & don't want it! what's it worth?

So much internet to read, such little time.

I've been reading up on this one (the only one with headphones apart from the one you mention):
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/125129

and it gets some pretty good reviews it seems

The most obvious question Stu is - why don't you want it and how long have you had it?

I might be interested - can I have a trial period? I don't want to not want it too....
