I know that a number of you have SatNav devices, and some of you might have been through more than one. Having had an unscheduled detour this morning, I've finally decided that I'm going to bite the bullet and get one soon. But, being indecisive, I'm appealling for advice.

So, far, the top options appear to be the ViaMichelin X-970T, the TomTom ONE XL GB (Traffic), or, if I get carried away, the TomTom GO 520 Traffic.

Anyone had any good/bad experiences with any of the above - Amazon's user reviews are somewhat inconclusive ("sliced bread"/"road to hell")?

My want list includes: postcode and address searching, decent clear display, speed camera locations and speed limit information (too many Tiger Tokens), traffic alerts and rerouting. Out of car portability is less important, but might be handy. Hands-free phone function might be useful, if it works well.

Music playing and photo displaying less useful - my cameras don't use the relevant card sizes, and I have a CD player and an audio input to my stereo already.

And, at another point, they do the LOLs. One for those for whom LOLcats have no attraction. [grin]
