TomTom GO 300

...Tap, tap, tap on the TomTom Go's screen with his index finger and he'd have been back in Bethlehem performing miraculous deeds before sunset! : : : What does it do? : : : Let me tell you a little about the TomTom. It's a portable satellite navigation system, which means that as long as it's turned on and can see the sky it can pinpoint its position to within 1 square metre anywhere on the surface of the earth. Yes, anywhere. And if it's beside you ...
...you're on holiday. The TomTom turns the maps into realistic 3D images and displays them on screen, as though the road is spreading out in front of you. And the image keeps up with you as you move so you always know what's up ahead when you're driving. If you select a destination with a tap, tap, tap by, say, picking a point on the screen map, entering a Post Code or choosing a pre-loaded Point of Interest like a tourist attraction a cinema or a ...

Review of TomTom GO 300

Since I got my Tom Tom I've been driving to places I never would normaly go, as the fear of getting loast would put me off. With Tom Tom you can say good bye to getting lost. It is a clever little satelite navigation system with so much more to offer than just the route instructions. Tom Tom 300 is a very clever litle device. It is small enough to fit into a palm of your hand and light enough to carry around in your bag (as you wouldn't want to ...
...holder that attaches to the windscreen, and as if by a mirracle it actually stays there. It has an amazing suction and it really stays put. If anything, you might have a little trouble peeling it off the windscreen when you want to take it off. The screen is very nice size and easy to use. It uses tap tap technology and it is so simple. You can set your home destination, so where ever you are, all you have to do is tap on HOME buton and it will ...

Review of TomTom GO 300

...my second review of the tomtom go satalite navigation system after owning the tomtom go classic for about a year I was foolish enough to leave mine in my car for five seconds as I popped into work not knowing that the light fingered brigade had spotted my beloved tomtom go classic through my blacked out privacy glass in my mg and before I knew it I had a broken drivers side window and my tomtom had gone. After getting my car fixed and numerous interviews ...

Review of TomTom GO 300

Go 300 is easy to use but does make mistakes on some of the routes. If I had not used my common sense, on occasions I would be in the "back of beyond" as the 300 has misdirected me. I have had the product for 18 months now and it has started to play up - don't know if this is a software or hardware problem because it is virtually impossible to get through to Customer Support - the website takes me all around the place but is unable to give me customer support contact. The Customer Support is virtualy non-existent. I have not come across a successful organisation like TomTom with such lousy customer support - really appalling. As a result of this, I would not buy another TomTom product. ...

Review of TomTom GO 300

Where do I start with this cute, loveable little creature? the truth is that there are so many good points to start in any paticular order, and are so few bad points. Firstly I use my tom-tom ocasionaly mainly leasure purposes, but when I first got it last year, it was mainly used as an essential piece of equipment for my work, a car salesman. I used the tom tom to travel around other dealers and other places that relate to the motor trade, how ...
...is the way foreward certainly in my life! Open the box, insert SD card, and switch on, first look at the tom-tom you will notice the only button on the machine is the power button everything else is touch screen, turn it on and once the machine has "found you", your ready to roll. Searching for a destination is quite easy, you can eather navigate to an address, point of interest which consists of McDonalds,Petrol stations (many of which have been ...

Review of TomTom GO 300

...is better to have this tomtom for sure, than be without it! As requested i have decided to give some more information on how to use the Tomtom. For basic use, it is incredibly simple, using the touch screen, one just has to type in the town/city, followed by the street and finally the house no. or name. and it instantly calculates the route for you. You can then view the route your going to take as a map, or as a text list, or in diagrams, so you ...
...hard to accurately tell the tomtom which areas you want to avoid. Other features include tomtom traffic and bluetooth facilities. I haven't suceeded in getting this feature to work yet, but admittedly i haven't put much effort into it. The satnav itself is attached to the windscreen simply with a suction pad, which can be locked into place so there is almost no risk of it falling off. It can then be easily adjusted into a suitable position for driver ...

Review of TomTom GO 300

I have had my TomTom GO 300 Sat Nav for exactly twelve months now and I wonder how I ever managed without it. I bought my unit on Ebay and paid around £300 for it, since then the prices have come down a lot and a similar specification unit will now cost around £200 The main features of the GO 300 model are... A choice of routes: Quickest, shortest or avoiding toll roads Itinerary Planning: Plan your trip by defining multiple waypoints and destinations ...

Review of TomTom GO 300

...the files on to the TomTom (then if its the first time you will need to enable the warning for the Point Of Interest e.g. each type of speed camera). This takes 5 mins and works. You can save you own favorite locations, create your own specific routes using waypoint and save these to be reacalled. You can change the voice to John Cleese, this is amusing but can get a little boring after the first few hours. I would like more funny comments. I ...
...5.0 to 5.2. Both have been fine (this is suposed to improve the speed of calculating the route). I dont have a connection to the PLUS service because my Motorola E1000 on 3 is not supported. You must have supported phone with Bluetooh and a GPRS connection to Internet to access the PLUS services which can then be downloaded directly to the TomTom, e,g. extra maps of towns e.g. Paris, weather info, traffic information, extra voices etc etc. But you ...

Review of TomTom GO 300

...UPDATE - Sept 2006. The TomTom has been outstanding, and has far exceeded my expectations. Whilst it can take a few minutes to accquire satellite feeds after it has been switched on, it then goes on to perform with flying colours. As I suspect is probably the case with any unit like this, odd things do sometimes happen, and these fall into into two categories. A very few times it has suggested a turning which doesn't exist, and looks as if it has ...
...how improved the website is. TomTom now provide a software package that can be downloaded to your PC and makes updating whatever unit you have purchased with the latest maps and software revisions very simple. It's obvious that some time and care has gone into this software, as it includes a reliable method for backing up your unit before installing an upgrade. URGENT UPDATE It's always worrying when you get an email more than once a week with ...

Review of TomTom GO 300

I have wanted a GPS system for some time and finally decided to buy this model after various people told me it was good. It was really easy to set up and use. You just enter a postcode and away you go. If you don't have a postcode enter the address. Only problem with this is you cannot enter house names, only numbers so it won't take you exactly to your destination, but very close. We live in the country and it occasionally looses its signal but ...
...should you go wrong within seconds. Only downside that I can find is that on the box it looks like you can get up to date traffic info, etc using only the tom tom go unit but you do need a bluetooth enabled mobile phone for this to work and I don't have one! But still a fantastic buy, I haven't got lost since buying the unit. Gives me great confidence when out on my own in the car. It contects to the car by a suction pad on the windscreen and uses ...

Review of TomTom GO 300

I bought a TomTom GO 300 because I was/am rubbish at reading maps & finding my way around places & wanted something to do that for me so I was less stressed when driving! And generally it helps me out with these things... It took no time at all to work out how to use it & you can check the route in text or in pictures before you set off if you want to have an idea of where it's taking you! It made me feel much more relaxed about finding my way to ...
...been a few occasions when it has given me poor directions - e.g. directed me to turn the wrong way into a one-way street, told me to turn into a road that wasn't there, told me to go straight on when on the actual road markings you have to branch left to go that way. Sometimes you need to look at screen rather than just listen to work out where you're supposed to be going. You can go on their website and download updates & also inform them of any ...

Review of TomTom GO 300

I purchased a Tom Tom Go 300 from Dixons off the web 3 months ago. Took just 20 minutes going through the manual to play with the features and set up, then you are up and running. Very intuitive once you know what the icons on the touch screen do. Every feature you could ever want, the favourites let you remember a destination, but best set using the GPS position when you are there. Can search by postcode or address. It will sometimes tell you to ...
...can alter this by setting 'go via'. Leave a route at any time and it will try to get you back on the same route, or 'recalculate' and it will come up with a revised route. Just head off in a different direction to miss traffic, and it will put you back on track. Car kit is good, and it is just seconds to switch between vehicles. Absolutely marvelous machine, but mine has suffered a lock up problem since new. You would think it was guaranteed for ...
