sorry put my question in the wrong place..doh!!!

does anyone know where i rent/buy a cheap sat nav for my holidays. I have one for here in Uk (garmin streetpilot 3)but it doesnt have maps installed for Portugal or Spain. So was thinkin of maybe gettin a cheapo Portuguese one..or renting maybe?? I will be driving about the algarve and Spain and onto Gibraltar

Can you not download the relevant maps onto your own Satnav from the Garmin website ?

We went to the funeral of a much loved colleague yesterday. There were loads of us going so I said I'd drive the minibus to cut down on the number of cars. Somebody brought their satnav but at each turn, somebody in the back new a better route, so the poor thing was struggling to keep track. We came to a big roundabout. The satnav said take the first exit, the passengers in the back said take the third exit, so I split the difference and took the second! We ended up going 5 miles down a dual-carriageway before we could turn round.

It wouldn't have been so bad but I knew the way and if hadn't been for all of the conflicting advice, I would have been ok. Oh, and there were 5 or 6 cars following us because we had the satnav

Or you! You would choose to go the wrong way to see how long it took for the Sat Nav to plot another route....
