      I bought one and my accountant gave it the all clear as a business expense. (also very useful if you travel within the UK on holiday)

        Just been given go ahead by accountant (SJD) providing I do a lot of travelling...so, interviews, client travelling etc, I am sure I can justify it...

          Buy a PDA with inbuilt Sat Nav, or even a Nokia N95.

          Much easier to justify an organizer or a phone!

                If you have a smartphone, get TomTom 6. I have this for my P990 and it does the job...no need for a separate satnav device then...and you always have your phone with you...don't you?

                    i am all very new to contracting...looking to buy a tom tom one for £149, as i travel a lot!!
                    When you say business expense does that mean £149 is taken from the tax i am putting to one side? thus its free??? (sorry is that a dumb question? )
