Product Information

A sleek metal body gives the Garmin a premium look, and we liked the magnetic mount, which makes the device easy to install. A vertical strip along the right-hand side of the screen shows a linear representation of your journey, including icons for junctions, fuel stations (or charging points for electric car drivers) and speed cameras. Note : If there is a software update available for your device, you need to install this before you can update your maps.

When you scroll down to My Maps , you see the maps that are installed on as well as available for your device.

There are many free sat-nav apps for smartphones, but they work off your mobile phone data so it may be better to rely on a dedicated sat-nav unit. Satellite navigation is now considered a necessity of the modern motorists and if a car doesn't have sat-nav built-in, there’s a very good chance that a portable sat-nav system will be employed by its driver. On some of our larger devices there is an extra locking mechanism to the rear of the mount which may also need adjusting. This video shows how to update or change the installed maps for your device, and how to install a brand new map. Connect the other end of the cable to a USB port directly on your computer - Do not connect it to a USB hub or a USB port on a keyboard or a monitor.

As the cheapest sat-nav here, Mio’s Spirit 5400 LM does without many of the pricier models’ bells and whistles. They do this by not simply taking you via the most direct route, but by detecting traffic jams and speed cameras to help eliminate wasted time in traffic or accruing fines. The menu interface was still easy to use and we liked that it also came with the easy-to-understand Real Directions instructions.Depending on which device you have, you might choose to free up space before installing a map, select a smaller version of a map, or expand the device’s memory capacity with an SD card. Garmin’s traffic alerts were accurate as it got us around some heavy congestion and the map layout was easy to understand, although it missed some jams the TomTom found. Please note: You will need to provide proof of purchase so we can check if your device is still covered by the warranty. The menu interface is identical across the TomTom range, meaning settings are easy to navigate, plus a responsive touchscreen means typing addresses is quick.
