Using a Sat Nav to get from A to B is increasingly the rule rather than the exception, which is no surprise given their rapid descent in price over the last year.

Cheapest UK:
Ebuyer Value Sat Nav. £46.99 plus delivery.The Navigo boxes have received glowing reviews across the board for their ease of use and number of features for the cash, not to mention upgrade potential. This one's available for £46.99 at ebuyer . However, as postage is only free over £50 (it's £4.79 otherwise), a good option's adding something cheap and useful - a cheap carry case or spare SD card perhaps - to make up the £3 difference and get the free delivery. If there's nothing you need, it's also available with free delivery at WHSmith for £48.94.
This unit includes full 7-digit postcode search, good battery life, and the ability to play MP3/4 files from SD cards through the supplied headphones.
Cheapest with EU mapping:
MyGuide 3218 Sat Nav, £49.98 delivered.This relative newcomer's a fair bit cheaper than any other unit with western europe (as well as full UK) maps built-in, and at 18mm thick it doesn't look half bad either. Available from ebuyer, it comes with a 2GB SD card (most only offer 1GB), and full UK & ROI maps.
The unit has received excellent feedback for its usability, battery life, and performance.
TomTom:
TomTom ONE V3 UK £80 in-store, £87 delivered.
V4 Europe £120 delivered.The release of 4th generation TomTom ONE units (there's now a V5!) pushed prices down for 2007's V3 version, which is still available in some places. The great thing about this is that when you buy a TomTom you can update to the latest maps for free, so map-wise there's no difference between the V3 and V4.
The UK V3's £80 instore at Morrisons (very limited stocks now) or £86.99 at Amazon; V3 Europe editions now seem as rare as hen's teeth, but the V4 Europe can be had for £121 at ebuyer

Sat Nav on your mobile.
Some newer mobile handsets include Sat Nav as standard, though you may have to pay a subscription for the mapping software.
There's a cheaper, less comprehensive way though (if you've a head for tech stuff); you can buy a bluetooth mobile gps adaptor for around £30, and use free Nav4All GPS software for mapping (check compatibility).
Anything else?
The price of mapping software on SD cards can vary quite widely, so if you think you'd like to upgrade your UK mapping to European check out the prices first. It may be cheaper in the long run to get one with the full maps in the first place.
