I bought a club approved Snooper satnav at the newburyshow in 2013.they are supposed to have free annual updates.I cannot get the update without first buying a 8gb memory,as mine doesnt have enough capacity,and when i eventually got to the update they want £100.my satnav is the caravan version from capitaloutdoors.Has anyone else had this problem please,if so, how did you resolve it.?

My friend has a Snooper and all I can say is I'm glad I didn't waste my money on one. On route to one site last year our Tom Tom got us there first time, the next day I was a passenger with my friend using his Snooper on the same route and it was next to useless. I am however interested in the Avtex CC sat nav. Any feedback on one of these would be appreaciated.

Just bought the Avtex CC satnav and used it last week for the 1st time. I wasn't towing so it was set for car only. It directed me from Gateshead to Fort William with no problems and likewise on the return. The last time I did this journey I was using a Tomtom and whilst got me there okay on the journey back it had me by-pass Edinburgh and took me over to Glasgow and down the M74! Having the caravan on the back I was reluctant to try going off route!

Why would I want to spend £299 when for £260 I can get the very same product (other than loaded with the CC sites) which you can do anyway.Not as I am about to do either given I have a perfectly good Garmin nuvi 3598LMT-D which does everything (except take the car/caravan dimensions) the above units do.

I would never buy anything approved by the club, it's usually very expensive and no better that cheaper alternatives. My Garmin cost about £100 and never been a problem. Whenever I look at stuff reviewed in the CC magazine I always think I would never pay that amount. Anyway you pays your money and you take your choice.

Thank you Oneputt, as you said 'you pays your money and take your choice' the last time I checked we live in a society where we can make these decisions!

Comeyras. I always programme for fastest route, using shortest can take you down all sorts of tracks.
Trepanner. It is my choice to purchase the Avtex satnav, for one thing you get a 3 year guarantee.
Write your comments here...Don't think I said anything about anyones personal choice other than my own
