Because of this one experience all Garmin products are bad? :lol:

I would go for the iPhone app solution. Would always have you GPS with you and at no risk of having some cunt stealing it from your car.
The TomTom app has the IQ Routes where it learns your preferred roads to travel by, which you probably learn yourself anyway, so useless feature really. It also has a terrible menu system where you will be able to spend hours looking for basic features. Great fun!
Navigon and Garmin are very similar apps and since Garmin has recently purchased Navigon I can only see them getting more similar. People tend to find that the Garmin app has the better menu layout and I believe Garmins Point Of Interest library is also bigger than both TomTom and Navigon.
Just be sure to the the Garmin Onboard app as the other one does not download the maps but streams them.

I currently have a TomTom One which I purchased about 5 or so years ago, haven't really updated the maps that often but I feel like having a change now. Map updates aside, it seems to get a bit confused sometimes and I can't exactly slow down to a crawl on a national speed limit dual carriageway for it to make up its mind about whether I should turn left or not for example! :lol:

Can anyone recommend any decent sat navs? I also have an iPhone so I suppose I could pay for the sat nav software on that too (Google Maps directions don't seem to automatically update so is a bit useless for driving directions I think).
