Advantages: Easy to use, lots of options Disadvantages: Needs to be updated monthly
I brought this as a gift for my mother last christmas as she doesn't often drive to far and, like me, is slightly geographically challenged
Purchase and Price
---------------------------
I brought the tom tom from Tesco, at the time I had a voucher for £50 off voucher which made it only £99 in price, very reasonable I feel for a sat nav.
I did have quite a few problems with the ordering and collection of item, but thats a whole other Tesco review!
... ...small black pouch case, which is fastened by velcro, a mains charger, an in car charge (to be plugged into the lighter switch in the car) and the holder/stand that suctions the Sat Nav to the wind screen. Also Included in the price was a £10 online redeemable voucher, which can be used to purchase a different case or celebrity voice overs for those boring drives.
Installation
----------------
The installation was as simple as turning it on and ...

Quick review of TomTom ONE XL Regional
We have been contemplating a sat nav system for a while now, and found that Tesco were offering the TomTom ONE XL for under £200, so we took the plunge.
As part of the initial package we got the unit, USB cable, in-car charger, windscreen holder and software.
The unit is nice and compact, but has a larger screen than others at 4.3inches, this gives a better overview of the area you are travelling though. ...

Advantages: Size, cost, features, display, windscreen mount Disadvantages: Out dated information, power lead inflexible, poor battery performance
I was looking for a no nonsense sat nav unit that was small enough to fit inside a jacket pocket when not used. Tom Tom had just introduced the basic 'One' model with the new XL (extra large) screen. It came with a car based power lead, USB lead, CD, manual, SD card with UK & Ireland on it & what I thought at first was a rather flimsy windscreen mount but no slip cover. The flimsy looking mount has turned out to be quite fantastic, once attached ... ...can be difficult to remove!! Even when driving over rough roads the unit never shakes or vibrates & I don't feel the need to upgrade to a more durable mount. The sat nav unit very quickly finds a decent reception & entering a location is made easy with a choice of a post code or address. There is only one switch on the unit for switching it on & off, all other taskes are carried out with the touch screen. I have about 40 favourite sites entered into ...

Brilliant device to have, auto re-routing is a life saver if you miss your turning and all the on board features make it a pleasure to drive once again! Definitely worth investing if you do a lot of driving!! It's a shame you don't get a case with it, which you have to buy separately! The only down side (may ...
