A lot of users on here recommend the various Tom Tom satnavs. Admittedly, I don't have one (I use Nokia Maps which is built in to my N95, and while I don't drive, it's still handy if I am walking around somewhere I don't know).

However,Satnavs are only any use if the maps are fairly up to date (I believe Tom Tom allows you to download new maps on to your PC, then install them on the Sat Nav), and if you follow it's directions!

As for the nicking thing, I don't know if you meant some thug stoving in your window while you are in there, but the portable satnavs are easy to remove, and usually fit in your pocket (if not, you can put it in a bag), so the standard advice applies: Take it with you if you leave the car.
