Tom Tom take me to ......

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 leave it in the car)
It comes with a plastic 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 take you home.
I must say that I'm in love with my Tom Tom.
To calculate a route, you can use a postcode finder, or just input the name of the town/street/house number and off you go.
When calculating a route, you have a few options. You can choose from fastest route, shortest route, avoid motorways, walking route, bicycle route and limited speed route
It gives you talking instructions as well as very realistic 3D maps that have a live update of your travel. You will see your car on the map in a shape of an arrow and it will travel on the map with you. It is very very clever.
You can chage the colors of the map to suit your mood and there is also a night map color, that is a bit darker and dim, so not to cause a problem in night driving.
You can also change the voice and language in which Tom Tom will speak to you. Which I find particulary handy, as my father doesn't speak English, and when he comes for a visit I let him use it, as without it he would get so lost in London.
Tom Tom doesn't come with traffic update, but you can pay for yearly subscription and save yourself a hassle of getting stuck in bad traffic. Now I would give the traffic update 8 out of 10. It is not updated frequently enough so sometimes you can still get stuck in roadworks, as Tom Tom doesn't get daily updated information for the roadworks. So watch out for the road works, as you can't rely on Tom Tom for that.
You can also get the speed camera info for your Tom Tom and it will alert you when ever there is a speed camera and what the speed limit is, so you don't have to worry about it. But again a word of warning, don't rely on it 100% as there are new cameras being put up almost daily, so some of them are not updated yet.
Tom Tom's precision is the amazing thing, you put in a post code and it will take you door to door, it really is amazing.
