I've found this to be a great feature, as long as you appreciate that there is no substitute for local knowledge. Small local routes do not tend to have traffic information available and so may either be congested or offer a better/faster route to your destination. ...

So far I haven't had any drawbacks, I have heard some people have had their problems with the unit not turning on, but until something like that happens to me I will continue to think that this is the best bit of kit i've bought in ages... if not ever!.

Advantages: Ease of use Disadvantages: Needs to be kept up to date
I treated myself to a Tom Tom 700 for Christmas. I travel a lot on my own, some of it in France and trying to drive with an atlas in one hand isn't ideal. after a great deal of research I chose the 700.
Ok I haven't learnt all the bits on it yet, but it gets me to my destination. If you know the postcode, it will get you there, and you have the choice of shortest or fastest route. Addresses can be input fairly easily and you still get there.
The ... ...very helpful, especially on roundabouts, just to confirm you're taking the correct turning.
If, by chance, you make a mistake, it will soon calculate a new route.
When you get to a town you don't know it will find the city centre, or the nearest carpark, or garage and so on.
The only downside I've found so far, when driving to Derby I was told to exit the motorway, which I did, it then lost itself for a few minutes as the road was brand new and ...

Advantages: Gets you to your destination quickly and easily throughout Europe Disadvantages: Maps not always totally up to date, one way streets not always defined
I bought this product from the tax free area in Stansted on our way out to Girona. The product is well packaged and it comes with everything you need. The Tom Tom was really easy to use and I got it up and running in a matter of minutes. It does take a few minutes to find the satellite the first time you switch it on. It had excellent mapping in Spain and I was able to use both in the car and on foot to navigate to destinations easily and without ... ...but in the car you can get some screen glare from the sun but this can be resolved by getting an anti-glare protector. The windscreen mount is easy to place and it has never fallen off. Navigating in the UK has not been as good as in Europe. My street shows only 29 houses and there is about 90 houses and has been for year. It also has tried to take me down a few one way streets at times that have been that way for a few years. The USB cable wouldn't ...

Advantages: Easy to use, simple to set up, portable, smart looking, very good features Disadvantages: have to pay for all extra POI
Very good sat nav system which is very easy to use. Only takes 2 mins to set up and then all you have to do is attach to your wind screen. The remote which comes with it is really just a novelty as your probably never really going to use it. The screen size is big enough for you to see and know exactly where you are going. The mobile phone bluetooth is very good, as soon as your phone rings it pops up on the screen for you to accept/reject the call ... ...very clear. Only really downside is that if you leave it in your car the chances are it will get broken into. Also if the suction pad on the windscreen attachment leaves a mark thieves will break into your car to see if you have left it in your glove box but this is the case with all sat nav systems. ...

Advantages: Brilliantly easy to set up, install and use. Touch screen menus so user friendly Disadvantages: None whatsoever
Quite simply the easiest gadget to set up and use I have ever purchased. Touch screen menus which allow you to plan routes by post code, address or point of interest like stadiums are mastered in seconds. Fixing to my car windscreen was a doddle. Setting it up to pair with my bluetooth mobile for traffic information was simpicity itself (far easier than my palm top). Travelling to a well known football stadium worked perfectly. The route was planned, ...
