I have the old Tom Tom Classic and am very happy with it. I think tom tom & Garmin are best.

Which one to buy depends upon what you intend to use it for and where. Some come with just maps of Uk and others also have maps of Europe. If you just want a sat nav then go for a basic model like a tom tom one. If you want blue tooth etc go up market.

You can get CL details from caravan club web site as POIs (Points of Interest).

Ps you may get a better response if you post this in the Sat Nav forum.

As above Tom Tom and Garmin are probably the best, I've used a Tom Tom One for about 5 years, and it's always got me to my destination, albeit via some interesting and scenic routes sometimes!

I don't rely on sat nav for final approach to CL's. It is prone to taking you down very narrow lanes unsuitable for caravans. Instead I use it get me to where the directions start in the sites book, and the wife becomes sat nav from there!

Same here (but still have been caught out)

I try to use Google Earth to do a reccy of the route before I go
