My local Asda (Isle of Dogs) is knocking these out for £20, so I got one.
Looks just as capable as the sat nav I currently use, but is 10 times cheaper...

May well be hackable.
I got an similar bit of kit a year ago for £40 called a Navigo. Found a great site with files and instructions to hack it to run as a Garmin, with much superior software

I bought my daughter a MyGuide satnav a couple of years ago. Older model than that £20 one, but it's been excellent.
they don't normally come with a mains charger tho'.
Apparently they are hackable. We've never felt the need.
Ebuyer still sells them for £50
and the reviews pages usually has useful hacking tips.

I never felt the need for a satnav until they became so cheap
If it is the same as the navigo then the hacking is worthwhile. The garmin's maps are nicer (IMO) and they have some very useful features such as 7 digit postcode navigation.
