Need a GPS for driving, must be CHEAP

[lunchie]

Anyone know of a decent basic GPS unit for driving.

Just want something basic and cheap that I can use for navigating around christchurch and if I could put in multiple locations as way points that would be great too.

Something with voice prompts too, (maybe they all have this I dunno)

You know the sort of thing "turn left in 100 meters etc etc"

Google maps on cell + car cradle = done haha. It\'s all I\'ve ever needed anyway

Pretty much any GPS you can buy has those features (apart from multiple waypoints?) - just keep an eye out for whatever repco / harvey normans etc have on special or whatever

Any idea how much I would have to pay? bottom dollar

Don\'t know bottom dollar but I paid 120 for mine and it does all that.

Updates is where you sink money unless theyre free. We got an older navman and it took us for a 50min detour round industrial auck coming back from meremere coz we nipped off the motorway to pick something up and followed the dipshit electronic to get us back on.

Tomtom were the biz few years ago who knows now the way electronics change overnight.

any "smartphone" with google maps installed, even if you go onto trademe and buy a half decent android device and run it with no sim, as long as you do your NAV search within wifi it should download the required maps( only downside really of them as they prefer a data connection)

Actually go buy this Garmin Asus A10, I have one of these as my back up phone it has NZ maps installed and is one of the best nav devices I have ever used, does not need a data connection BUT with one makes it even better

we have owned all the reputable brands:

tom tom was irritatingly annoying to use,

navman took you on fucked up detours at random times,

garmin has been most reliable

Ganna go with this one, do you think they all have the ability to input multiply places as waypoints?
