Title: Best basic sat nav for parents?
Post by: PND on March 29, 2013, 04:04:31 pm

Hi.

My parents (both in 70s) have finally decided that a sat nav might help them find their way around!  It would need to connect to a Mac for updates (preferably free) and be easy to operate.

I'm guessing Garmin and TomTom - do both makes work OK with Macs?

Any suggestions or good deals that you know of?

Cheers.

I personally think that tom-toms are easier to use than garmins  :happy2:

Not too sure if they work with Macs but TomTom are definitely the more user friendly!

Another vote for Tom Tom.  Had one in the work's van for years.  I found it very intuitive to use out of the box compared to a Garmin I had a go with which wasn't!

And I got a great Tom Tom in the for sale section on this forum for around £30 delivered - very basic, but for the UK you don't need anything more.
Idiot proof especially for the older generation  :happy2:
