At last, here’s a sat-nav that’s right up your street – as it uses real photos of roads! The latest units from NDrive come pre-loaded with aerial pictures of 29 UK cities, helping driv?ers follow directions with real-life pictures of their surroundings.

Routes are displayed in a choice of four 3D perspectives and a bird’s eye view, and European maps can be added with plug and play memory cards. These include cities throughout France, Spain, Italy and Portugal.

The ?199 G280 offers multimedia playback through its built-in speaker or headphones, while the G800 adds Bluetooth and an FM transmitter for ?315. Both also include speed camera alerts, and are available at the ndriveweb.com website. Mean?while, rival Binatone has launched a sat-nav that switches to the view from a wireless rear bumper camera when drivers select reverse gear. Log on to www.binatonecarrera.com for more on the T430, which is priced ?179.
