Kenwood KVT725

Advantages: Many, your driver can get you there quick!
Disadvantages: not applicable

My servant Charles thought that one of these fine things would be a great idea for my Bentley, so I sent him off to the local electrical establishment to acquire one for a principal sum of £1000. A meer snip in the wallet for a lord like myself. Once fitted to the bentley my driver took me on a trip round my private estate and found out that this piece of technology really does indeed help one who has a long way to go every morning: from my manor ...
...This little device helped me find a quicker route and I am amazed that my driver didn't know this, AFTER 10 years of service, i sacked him for it and sent him and his family out of the estate! So having spent £1000 I saved money from one less person to pay and therefore this thing is really good value for my extensive large inheritance which never seems to run out! Yes I am ALAN SUGAR and I will be giving all of the money from this review to great ...

Excellant little gadget

Advantages: Excellant little gadget
Disadvantages: Keeps losing its GPS signal for longer than it should

TomTom ONE combines ease of use, portability, touchscreen technology and an elegant, unmistakable new design. Drivers can enjoy the benefits of a TomTom ONE immediately, thanks to TomTom’s award-winning plug and drive navigation software pre-installed on a memory card. This means there is no need to download complicated software, just plug in and start using. TomTom ONE comes with the latest maps of Western Europe. I got this at xmas from Currys ...
...fits perfectly into my pocket or handbag and is perfect for when I travel to football ground around the country. It charges via the USB on my laptop or in car charger. It has various free voices that I can download from the internet and I can also get numerous free updates. I also got a free speed camera cd with the box which was worth £19.99 so was an added bonus. Only problem I have found is that every so often it is losing the GPS signal and becomes ...

Low Bridge, no problem, this is the best truck sat nav

Advantages: Clear instructions, many extra features, avoids all trucking hazards.
Disadvantages: Almost too large, expensive to purchase

...bit nicer. The Snooper Sirius S7000 Truckmate is the same as the normal Snooper Sirius S7000, but it has been loaded with a special truck version of the sat-nav software which is made by a company called Truckmate, so it is a sort of colaberation between the two companies. You can get two versions - the UK & Ireland and the UK and Europe. My husband owns the latter, but they work identically, it just depends if you plan on going to Europe or not ...
...with, looks the machine has a sleek black finish and is completely flat, at about 2cm thick, It has a 7" flat screen which produces an excellent quality picture. It comes with a hefty mounting bracket to enable you to stick it to the inside of the window, and various external aerials to enable you to get the best reception for all the applications you require (However you don't need to use these if you are just using it as a Sat-nav, so its not complicated, ...

Stressfree travel! No more maps

Advantages: Stress free, easy travel
Disadvantages: Can get confusing if you are driving on a new road that isn't on your map!

TOMTOM ONE 3rd edition. I got my tomtom as a Xmas present last year, and wow what a present it was. I like to whizz off for weekends away with my daughter, somerset, Cornwall, London etc and I have always used AA route planner before, which was great, but reading whilst at the wheel isn't really that safe is it! I have also found I can get very stressed if I am trying to find my way somewhere and miss a turning etc. Using the TOMTOM makes my travel ...
...1) Driving around London, tomtom made that so easy, I could spend my time concentrating on what the taxi's and white vans were doing and the computer told me where to go, SIMPLE. 2) On a holiday to Portugal I used my Dads edition Europe. It was fantastic, all I had to do was concentrate on driving on the correct side of the road. What would have normally been a stressful driving experience was a very normal driving experience. SO WHAT IS A SAT NAV? ...
