Review of TomTom ONE by
glittergirli
Advantages: easy to use, choice of voices, basic slim design, attractions locate, favourites storing
Disadvantages: some people may find the display a bit small compared with other models
I absolutely love this product as it is so useful. It just gets used all the time. The directions it gives are so much better than any online directions and also its just amazing how much easier they are to use than a simple map/a to z. Once you have used ...

Advantages: would be an amazing piece of kit if it did as advertised
Disadvantages: it doesn't do as advertised
I bought my car last Summer and wanted to upgrade the head unit. I went to Dave Wallis in Ipswich who have always provided my in car systems in the past. I asked them about fitting a Kenwood unit as it had received very good reviews. They advised me that ...

carlz2001
Advantages: 5 inch screen, Speeding Alert, Advanced Lane, IQ routes, Emergency menu....
Disadvantages: Points of interest a bit hit and miss,
...begrudgingly just put my beloved TomTom XXL on eBay after buying a car that has a sat nav screen built into the car, and I suddenly realised that I haven’t written a review on one of my best loved gadgets ever! So here we go….!
We initially opte ...

In 100 yards, throw away this Sat-Nav.
Review of Binatone Carrera A350 by
NotMyToothbrush
Advantages: Very cheap
Disadvantages: Resistive touchscreen, slow
We do not use the Sat-Nav much as we tend to stay local when driving about and therefore we wanted a very cheap sat-nav. At only £50, this sat-nav seemed perfect for us.
Lets start with the build of the device.
As soon as you take the sat-nav out of the ...

COMPACTIBLE USEFUL GPS
Review of Garmin NÜVI 200 by
ItzPhilly
Advantages: Small Size and Straight to the Point
Disadvantages: Screen may be to small for some
In my opinion this is a great little GPS the screen I think is only 2.5-3.5 inches wide but works exactly what its purpose is for. You put your start point and end point into the GPS and it gives you the option to choose the fastest route, the shortest r ...

Get lost
Review of Garmin nuvi 250 by
hopey123
Advantages: Helps you find your way (unless you are me)
Disadvantages: The voice can get annoying
I've had one of these Garmin Nuvi sat navs for quite a few years now. It doesn't get used too much but has been used enough over the years for me to get really fed of of the ladies voice that gives the instructions.
These can be picked up for about £20 ...

My mate Tom
Review of TomTom VIA 135 UK by
Krumlovian1
Advantages: voice commands
Disadvantages: cannot verbalise post codes
How did one survive without sat navs? The ability to locate a flashing point on a map and find out where you are; all thanks to the wonder that is GPS never ceases to amaze me. I am a terrible map reader, my ex wife who was actually in post as girlfriend ...

Binatone B350 - not as good as the earlier model.
Review of Binatone B350 by
madeindevon
Advantages: Cheap, entry level Sat Nav
Disadvantages: probably better models on the market
We needed a new Sat Nav, our last one unfortunately had met with an untimely death when a cup of coffee spilled onto it.
You never seem to have the money to spend out on these things when you need it, so consequently we had to make a compromise and spend ...

Review of Navman EZY WIDE UK + ROI by

Advantages: Gets you from A to B, easy to use
Disadvantages: Occasionally needs rebooted due to errors, sound switches itself back on
Just over a year ago I started in my current job which is a community based job, meaning I travel around and visit people in their homes. As I have big difficulties with map reading and directions, I knew immediately that a sat nav was going to be a must ...

Get one up on those people that tell you to get lost
Review of Mio Spirit 485 by
Mildew82
Advantages: Cheap, Easy to use, Reliable, Lane Guidance, Sturdy windscreen holder
Disadvantages: Missing vital accessories, poor battery life, expensive maps and subscriptions
When my last SatNav the TomTom One (with a do not resuscitate order), after just 3 years of loyal service, fell into a state of serious decline with the constant freezing, connection losses, fatal crashing (the operating system, not me driving)…so much so ...
