Hi

Can anyone recommend a sat nav for my in laws.

They're looking to spend between £100 and £150 and needs to be easy to operate (they're both technophobes).

They'll probably be buying from Halfords if that helps ....

TomTom One XL is the one I'd look at.
About £130 with European maps. Big screen, easy to use, good price - all-in-all a very good bit of kit.

For 100 to 150 from Halfords you have a prety decent choice. My advice would be to go and try a few out to see which best suits. They all have their own pluses and minuses.

But the three names to put at the top of the list are probably Garmin, Navman and TomTom (in alphabetical order). They all do a very decent job, certainly the "get you from A to B " bit. It's just the bells and whistles they add on that will probably swing it one way or the other.

People can get a bit attached to one make or the other, bit like footie fans, so a TomTom fan will tell you buy a TomTom and a Garmin fan tell you TomTom's are rubbish get a Garmin (as the ads on the wireless irritatingly tell you to do )

Fact is none of the big three are entirely perfect and none are entirely rubbish. It's whether you can live with their little quirks that matters.
