I got tomtom/navigon/copilot/ios maps and a few more on my iphone, cost me nothing as I jailbroke it, and installed instalous (which takes about 5 mins)

tomtom is as good as a proper tomtom

OK, re-think on the question. I don't have a smart phone nor does the person who will be using this. So - when buying and over the counter sat nav device for £100 max, which would you recommend! acurate directions and simplicity of use are the main criteria - thanks again

If you jailbreak your phone you get root privileges that allow you to install non apple approved software, great!! but it also can leave your information more vulnerable to hackers so be aware. David.
