Cheap Medion GoPal Sat Nav - any good? - markengland
I've been considering a budget Sat Nav system for a while and noticed that our local Makro have a couple coming up in their next sale starting this Saturday. Both are made by Medion. One is a GoPal 210; the other is a GoPal 350 with TrafficMaster. However, both are priced at £99 each plus VAT. Does anyone here have any experience of either of these units? I'm not sure why they're both the same price when presumably the 350 is a better model? Or does anyone recommend any other makes/models at a similar budget? I know with these you get what you pay for to some extent, but for the amount of time I'll use it I can't justify spending more than £150 really. I like the idea of voice prompts and post code searches. Presumably I won't get European coverage with a system in this price range, would be helpful if I could get one though! Sorry for the long waffle - any help or comments greatly appreciated. Cheers!

Medion doesn't actually manufacture anything - it rebadges products from specialists and distributes them through retail partnerships such as Aldi.

I recall one of its sat-navs a year or two back was the same rebadged model that was also sold under the Hewlett Packard name.

Information on Medion's after sales support and service is mixed - some are delighted and others not too happy.

See its website: www.medion.co.uk/
