Following the devastating news about Google Maps being 'improved' to make it unfit for use today viewtopic.php?t=40221 , I've started looking for a dedicated replacement.
I was expecting to see all of the old favourites such as Garmin for sale - nope. A bunch of brands I've never heard of before. I drilled down on a couple, and despite having menus in English, navigation language was Thai - no good to me.
I'm looking for a suitable replacement that actually gives instruction in English. Does anybody have any recommendations please? Oh, and a very big screen - the biggest draw back with Google Maps was the very small phone screen. My ageing eyes need something I can see, as well as hear.

Re: Car Satnav Systems
Yes, my last dedicated system was TomTom, but although it had Thai maps, it wasn't really designed for Thailand. It 'sort of' worked, but then ceased updates.

I have used a Garmin sat nav for years in Thailand, including getting updated Thai maps, English language.
They may have stopped selling them in Thailand.

Re: Car Satnav Systems
Thank you, I will keep that in mind. I am currently testing joelle's suggestion of Waze, which after my first test run looks very promising (even if it did tell me to drive off a bridge - honestly, not joking. It actually made me laugh when it happened after your post earlier today).
