Loan or purchase of a satnav wanted with UK map

[TenerifeTeddy]

I am going to the UK for 3 weeks for my daughters wedding. I am hiring a car (already arranged)for that period, and the rental for a satnav is astronomical. We will be travelling around the country visiting friends & relatives during that time. I can always go buy a road map, but I think It´ll make life easier.

Does anyone here in Tenerife have a Satnav I could rent for 3 weeks, or I´m quite happy to purchase it if not too expensive.

Please PM me, thanks.

I have one in the uk you could borrow (no charge) but I live in Bradford if that's any good?

Many thanks for the kind offer chris, but all our visits are in the South and East of the country. Crawley, Peterborough, Leicester, Boston, Gainsborough, Lincoln.

Really, I thought they were 300-400, I´ll check that out. :)

Check out Argos too

Might not be the best but if they get you from A to B

Indeed, thanks. It´s not something I´ve looked into. We´ve been here 6 years and apart from emergency trips, haven´t been back to the UK to travel around.

Don't forget that smart phone can provide good sat nav too.

I used to use my old Nokia N95 when on holiday in tenerife to know which bus stop to get off at.

I just told him we need a new phone for the trip as I came across an iphone with a sat nav facility:whistle: but he wasn´t persuaded ....yet!!!;)

When are you going as I have one but would need to get it to you.

I bought DH one for Xmas off Amazon - think it was about 60 quid, so definitely possible to get one over here for around 50 or 60 quid. Ours came with 2 English voices, some posh bloke and a ladeee called Emily - don't leave home now without our Emily!

You don't need an iPhone - this will do more and allow you to swap out batteries, load stuff onto SD card, print pictures at photo booths, FM radio........ oh and SatNav too ;) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Samsung-Galaxy-S-i9000-8GB-NEW-/320732057873?pt=UK_Mobile_Phones&hash=item4aad1ed111

The trip to UK is for our daughter´s wedding so funds are rather tight at the moment - but I will bear this in mind for our return :D

Thank you very much for your kind offer, but we have received another offer of help by PM that we have accepted. :)

[TenerifeTeddy]
