An Excellent All Rounder!

Advantages: feature-packed, TMC
Disadvantages: No automatic re-routing

...Machine itself The Navigon 2200 boasts a number of features: TMC Reality-View Pro Text-to-Speech Lane Assistant Pro Radar Information Speed Assistant Now, all these different systems may have baffling names (well, they baffled me), so I will deal with each one in turn. First, however, I will describe the contents of the box. What you get The box contains the machine itself. This is a slim system. It is 95mm wide, 72mm high and ...
... Verdict The Navigon 2200 cost me around £90 when I bought it, which is, in my view, exceptional value for money. It does everything that I could ask for, and more. It is efficient, helpful, unobtrusive and reliable. If you are buying a sat-nav, or thinking of buying one, take a trip down to Halfords to try it out. According to the Halfords website, the cheapest Sat-Nav with TMC is £130 if you do not choose the Navigon, and the brand leader ...

Mio Moov Spirit 300 Traffic

Advantages: Generally everything
Disadvantages: High priced updates £79 which is a lot for an occasional user

...this week (£60 at Morrisons),the mio moov m300. Running through the menus is very easy and so is planning or searching for your route. This model has lane guidance which can be useful at motorway intersections and complex junctions in the city. The voice instructions are nice and clear and the volume is excellent and I also like the night and day screen settings. I tried it out in my home city and asked it to take me to a fairly difficult destination ...
...that was planned by the mio and it recalculated to my new route almost instantly. This model has navpix, this allows you to enter a destination via a geo tagged photo but in my opinion I cannot see much point in it. I would have rated this sat nav as excellent but unfortunately the price wanted for map and speed camera updates are ridiculous it would be cheaper to buy a new sat nav each year,so I can only rate it as good for the money. ...

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 ...

Review of TomTom ONE IQ Routes Edition Europe 42

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? ...
