The RAC has launched a range of three new satnavs with mapping info provided by Route 66, including a first to market 5-inch widescreen model.

All three models claim to be user-friendly and boast full postcode search, pre-loaded safety camera info with free updates, thousands of points of interest and SMS-style "Fuzzy Search" to help narrow down vague search terms.

That about covers the feature list for the affordable 200, priced at £139.99 that has a 3.5-inch touchscreen.

In addition the £189.99 210 has a 4-inch touchscreen and a built-in MP3 player.

The top of the range 220 boasts that impressive 5-inch touchscreen as well as wireless Bluetooth handsfree and MP3 music player, a traffic information function to alert you to problems ahead such as accidents or traffic jams and includes a number of European countries on one easy to read European map. Pricing for this model is £299.99.

All models are available now.
