Product Information

If you have your heart set on a particular brand or even a selection of brands then we’d suggest you spend a bit of time writing up a list of the brands that you would happily buy. This can really help you in narrowing down the selection when it comes to choosing a product. For example, over at Currys PC World you can filter products by brand, so you could filter just to show the brands on your list. This is especially useful knowing that there are 24 Sat Nav to choose from at Currys PC World. The first time you insert a new memory card in your navigation device, you are asked if you want the device to format the memory card.
