Just picked up this great little unit from asda ,

1st Impression : very quick to lock on: took only 30 seconds inside the car to get a fix, very accurate. Can even get a lock inside my house!!

Buy, Buy, Buy!!

Sounds like a good price for 3.5" with Sirf3. Can you post make & model so we can find more info?

What is the annual subscription price after the free 6 months; and who is it with please?

Sounds very promising from your inital impressions.

Looks like the same on on the moneysaving web site...

Save you reading through Moneysaving website...

Is It this one

Does it have the SirfStar3 reciever? The Evesham web site says it has a Centrality receiver.

Does this Sat Nav allow you to enter your home detials, if so I would avoid doing this as if its stolen, thieves will know where you live and your house may be burgled

From the Evesham site:-
Quote:

After the 6 month free period you may subscribe for 12 Months updates with a one off fee of £30.

"Every time I learn something new it pushes some old stuff out of my brain!"

Two questions

Q1/. Is the speed camera facility something that disables/switches off after the 6 month free period; or does it continue to function based on the latest camera position at the end of your 6 month subscription period if you choose not to pay the extra £30?

Q2/. What do they mean by a "one off fee of £30" .
To me a one off fee means no further costs for life. Thus every 12 month months you get an update for your one off fee of £30.
But the way it is written could equally be interpreted like an annual subscription of £30pa.

Can someone shed some light on this please. Thanks !

If you don`t pay the £30 subscription you can still use the speed camera detector based on the positions recorded the last time you updated.

£30 gives you 12 months of updates - e.g. update as many times as you want in 12 months for one £30 fee.
