brand newly on the market G8 priced at under £60 at misco turns out to be a real deal!
As I did not find a decent review, before I bought it, have been a bit hesitant... got a surprise! I have had been testing SatNav's as TomTom 1; Lg; Garmin; RAC; Sony and have found enourmous differences in they funcionality. Whilst some where good at some areas, others where exeding in othrs, some whre complete failure- not this time!
From the beggining, As I've opened the box two dissapointments- no home charger or PC connectivity cable, had to find the spare Hitachi one (5V)- worked a treat! Turned on, menu as simple as it it should be, verry funcional and set up did take no longer than two minutes. For a testing of it straight away to the meeting and Entering the Post code some clever- ( not to my taste)feature as Zip Code search gving a letter (Or Two) and Digit (or two) once entered beggining of a post code it asked for a First letters of the Name of destination. Worked out just fine in 6 locations visited today, but would be an issue to ie courrier with incorrect names or Post Codes.
The surprise that I've discovered is in its heart (Samsung 400mhz CPU)- Very fast indeed and really did keep up with roundabouts and my traveling speed.
Build qality I can see to be of a decent manufacturing, components and materials, the screen do'nt seem to tough enough for long time abuse with sharp nails or fatty fingers, but time will tell.
On a summary- a bargain for normal user! not for professional though (I would recomend TomTom for those at Triple the price) and despite slacking it in areas spoted as much as I can, there is no better value for money SatNav today!

Languages updated (instaed of female squicking decent male voice)
Some additional settings are no more (nothing of importance)
Basicly my rating now 8/10! (very very good!)
