9 Best Sat Navs UK 2024 | TomTom, Garmin and More

For a sleek, seamless experience without quite as high a price tag, look no further than this stylish, minimalist and feature-packed product. When passengers get in your car they'll immediately notice the eye-catching design, but they'll be more impressed by its innovation. 

With Alexa support, you can play music, access to-do lists and get live updates on weather, traffic and parking, all with one device. It also works with your at-home smart set-up, so you can make sure that the lights or heating is on before you arrive. This product is unique and truly trendsetting, which is why we've chosen it as our number one sat nav! 

Powerful, ultra-fast and easy to use, this premium 32 GB sat nav from TomTom is really something to behold. Most other models use wires or WiFi to update their maps every few months, but this one scraps all that and offers something completely different from its competitors.

The 'Go Discover' promises users access to TomTom's impressive live service features, including live traffic updates, fuel prices and even world maps. If you're a serious driver who wants up-to-date information at your fingertips, then you will find this to be well worth the investment. 

It can be tempting to change destination while driving, whether that's while you're stopped at the traffic lights or in motion. This can be dangerous when using a touchscreen and is not recommended by manufacturers. TomTom offers a safe solution to this with its unique voice control. 

With the brand's flagship 'Via' model, you don't need to worry about tapping on the screen anymore. Now you can simply state the postcode or the full address and TomTom will take you there. This is a brilliant feature that will surely come as standard in the future. 

While Motorola might be famous for its phones, its sat navs don't mess around. With this product, they stick to their design philosophy of streamlined products that make your life easier rather than getting in the way. We think the E005 is ideal for infrequent drivers looking for a great deal.

This sat nav comes with everything you could want if you're a casual driver, including pre-installed points of interest and lane guidance. Customers rave about its responsive touchscreen and clear audio too, which make navigation a breeze. 

Just like some people call vacuum cleaners 'hoovers', many people refer to sat navs as 'TomToms'. TomTom is a titan in the UK industry and offers premium, innovative products for serious drivers. But, importantly, it also offers a few choices for people not willing to break the bank. 

This product is from TomTom's 'Start' range which aims to supply smaller, compact products at a lower price. It has all the great software the brand is famous for and is available with UK, ROI or European maps. This is an excellent choice if you're a casual driver who doesn't want to sacrifice quality. 

Binatone is a big name in the sat nav world for a reason – they make simple yet well-made products that don't break the bank. Binatone's customers will tell you that the U700 is perfect for someone who wants good mapping and navigation, and not much else. 

The U700 is a substantial bit of kit with its 7-inch screen and bulky case, but it feels premium and high-quality in your hand. It's durable and will survive being thrown into your glove compartment to keep it safe at night too. This is a great pick if you value quality and simplicity. 

On the opposite end of the spectrum, this is the perfect pick for anyone who wants to cut down the dashboard clutter with something as compact as possible. This tiny product comes with a screen that measures only 4.3 inches, which is more than 2 inches smaller than some others on our list. 

If you're worried about readability on such a small screen, Garmin thinks it's found the solution. This device boasts crisp, easy-to-understand graphics that will keep you on-route no matter where you are. With lane assist and junction view too, we rate Garmin's Drive 40LM for city slickers who like to keep things simple. 

MekedeTech offers a decent quality product at an appealing price point, but the real selling point of this sat nav is its screen. Most of the picks on this list offer smaller dimensions of around 7 inches, but this one is a whopping 9 inches. 

The large screen is great if you drive a bigger vehicle and want to clearly be able to see everything you need to while driving, or simply if your eyesight isn't what it used to be. The only downside is that this product is quite 'feature light', so don't expect a state-of-the-art gadget. 

If you're not swayed by any of the fancy features offered by other options on this list, then this is a great pick. Jimwey offers a sat nav that nails the basics at an attractive price point. 

Keep in mind that although this is a solid product with good storage, it is still missing some of the more simple quality-of-life features. Unfortunately, this sat nav has to be updated using a wire attached to your computer, which is a very dated system.
