Advantages: Text to speech
Disadvantages: Nothing!

The TOMTOM GO 920T is an essential for people who travel both short distances and long distances in the car. I paid £353 for this beauty. I'm usually very wary, on what Im purchasing if its in the hundreds range as I want a good quality product if im going to splash out. I feel very safe buying tomtom product however as it has a very good reputation efficient navigation devices. And the GO 920T is no exception. What I love about this perticular ...
...have text-to-speech which means the tomtom can announce street names, as well as sms and traffic messages. Which means you can focus more on driving as the tomtom does everyhting for you. One of my favourite things on this perticular device is the speech recognition which lets you tell your device where to go, instead of typing it on screen this is a lot better especially when your driving as obviouslly you will get in trouble with the police if ...

Advantages: Neat design, good screen and comprehensive maps
Disadvantages: I'll have to buy another in a couple of years.

TomTom 720T SatNav devices remind me a little of mobile phones in the early nineties. They are a little bit pricey, a little bit niche and until recently the preserve of gadget freaks and those who drive for a living. These days they are a lot more prolific and I can foresee a time when they will be just as ubiquitous as mobile phones and everyone with a car will have one, and no doubt more than one if they have more than one car in the house. ...

Advantages: Fast route calculations, clear voice prompts, great screen
Disadvantages: Silly features, battery life

The tomtom 730 is a great device however the extra features are really not needed for the extra cost of the device. For example putting the audio prompts through your car radio is great but with a loud and clear on-board speaker whats the point? I have an mp3 player so the mp3 player on the tomtom is no use to me. The list rolls on. On the other hand it is fast and precise at calculating alternative routes, the lane guidance system which tells ...
...good but the higher cost for the features which to me personally are no use is silly as the tomtom 530 offers the same performance without some of these features at a lower price so I think I would recommend the 530 unless you will find these extras of use. ... Read review

Advantages: Bluetooth, voice recognition
Disadvantages: No case provided with it

I've just bought a Tomtom Go 520 after somehow managing to lose my Garmin somewhere in Manchester (grrrrr!) and up to now I'm fairly pleased with it. I loved my Garmin but was swayed by the 'gadgets' that the 520 has........bluetooth, voice recognition etc. However, there are several downsides that I have found so far. Firstly it doesn't appear to recognise all addresses......my friend lives in a house that is about 10 years old and although it can ...
...when you live in Lincolnshire! Tomtom home isn't brilliant either, it looks very basic and childish considering how huge the company is. Upsides.......the unit looks lovely, like a mini tv and is very simple to set up. You don't get a memory card or case with it although the internal memory isn't a bad size. I've bought a memory card for it and found it very simple to put music on it and get it to play. I think that possibly I'm being a little negative ... Read review

...time, text to speech function, integrated blue tooth, maps for UK, US, Canada and the rest of Europe, a remote control and a widescreen display! It also has a very long 5hour battery life which is obviously very handy in tricky situations. Another bonus is it comes with free speed camera software- which I believe to be a must nowadays! The Cons---Although the voice command is a great idea the feature hasn't yet been perfected and your often fothat ... Read review
