I am getting a sat nav for a birthday pressie. I have been given a budget of up to £150. Have been looking at Garmin 1410 as I like big screen and may find bluetooth useful.
Any other advice appreciated.
Thank you

Depends what else you want it to do. DH wanted live traffic and European maps as well. Amazon has the Garmin Nuvi 1690 for £141, which is the one we decided on. We can recommend it...

Thank you. All of them seem so similar. Its hard to tell them apart.

I've always been a fan of TomTom. Firstly the interface is easy, secondly you can download custom voices like Darth Vader or Ozzy Ozbourne to read you directions. Not sure if you can do it on the others.

I like the Tom Tom because you can update it online and it has Dr Seuss stories on it.

Which? recommends the Garmin, which also updates online (not sure it could compete with Dr Seuss and Darth Vader though :o )

I like Mio's sat nav, you can easily find a good one for under £150. They all have big, flat screens. My personal favourite is Navman Spirit Flat.
