Full review
I own the TomTOM GO 520 Music edition which is the exactly the same as the normal go 520 but with added mp3 playback and ipod connectivity. it allows you to connect your ipod and control it completely through the TOMTOM's touchs screen which seems very impressive to your passengers but not as impressive practically because the speakers on the go 520 are pretty useless compared to the regular car stereo, its a bit like trying to listen to music played in another room.

Apart from that, the go 520 is very very good. it is extremely user friendly and easy to use with big touch screen buttons and a simple, sharp menu. The screen on this generation of TomTom's is a BIG step-up frm the last generation, the screen seems to be "high-definition" and looks very attractive at night. The TomTom is also extremely slim but it has a "weight" to it so it feels like a well-built, quality item and not likely to disintegrate if you accidently drop it getting out of the car. the slimness plays havoc on the battery life though averaging only 2.5 - 3 hours on a full charge dropping down to 1.5 hours if the bluetooth and music compatibilities are used.

Overall the TOMTOM Go 520 is a great sat-nav and deserves to be class leading beating the second in command Garmin easily in all areas. It has strong signal from its 5 alternative satellites 90% of the time and is FUTURE-PROOF with regular updates on new speed camara locations and road layouts by just connecting it to a pc and updating for free. Just buy the regular GO 520 instead of the music edition which costs £40 more, unless your the type that wants to show off the ipod function then go for it , but be warned the speakers are useless.

Review of TomTom GO 520 by tomsonshow73

Advantages: Bigger, Slimmer, All round better!
Disadvantages: None

This a fabulous tool to have on the road. The ease of use and added features make it one of the best gps systems i have found on the market. In my line of work it is essential that I arrive at various locations throughout the country, and as well as instant point of interest access i also require the ability to pre-plan all of my journeys. This device can supply all of my needs and many more. The larger screen makes the typing in of locations and ...
...practically design your own screen layout with the information you require on a daily basis makes using the Tom Tom Go520 so much easier. That fact that this model is also much slimmer that all of the previous models means that it can be used hand held when out of the vehicle. Get yourself one today! ... Read review

Review of TomTom GO 520 by line0

Advantages: Easy to use, large screen
Disadvantages: Traffic alerts, recognition of speed limits

The TomTom Go 520 has a good size screen and is very easy to use. Its packed with features and my favourite is the bluetooth connection to your mobile, even allowing the extraction of numbers contained within your phone book (its handy to note you can duplicate your phone book onto the TomTom, meaning a back up of your phone contacts). When making a call the sound quality is pretty good. The navigation is easy to use and I have had no problem with ...
...safety cameras and also alerts you if you are breaking the speed limit, however this feature is also the only drawback I have found. Occasionally it will get the speed limit you are in wrong (the other day I was on a dual carriage and it instead the speed limit was 30m.p.h.). It comes with an RDS reciever for traffic alerts, although to date this has mainly notified me when I am already in the traffic jam. Overall a great navigating and hands free ... Read review

Quick review of TomTom GO 520
Review of TomTom GO 520 by antutt

Bought from Maplin this week. Got a demo in store before buying. Quite pleased overall, good entry level machine which definately suits average user ie day trips, visits, light work use etc. 1 Gb Hd, Blue tooth,4.3 inch screen,Touchscreen. Though these features are just gimmicks. Basically you want it to "speak" instructions to you, re route you in event of wrong turn, power off cigarette lighter, mount on window, it does all this. There are two models above this one but they are only worth it if you want MP3 playback,Fm transmitter etc. These features are not integral to a GPS unit, just bells and whistles.

Review of TomTom GO 520 by tobykelly11

Advantages: Lots of features, good price
Disadvantages: no europe mapping

I do not own a sat nav. However currently i am working at halfords selling them everyday. I have set up, demonstated and used almost every sat nav. It is easy to say the Tom Tom go series is the best range. The 520 is the basic addition to the go series. The main let down here is no europein mapping. For this feature you wil need to upgrade to the 720 (approximatly £50 more expensive). If you do not intend to use europien maps the you will not ... Read review

The greatest satnav I have ever used
Review of TomTom GO 520 by Jaspal93

Advantages: Very easy to use and packed with features
Disadvantages: Sometimes can't recognize what you say to it

...16:9 ,4.3 inch touchscreen. This tomtom is very slim for what it can do. It has a built in FM transmitter, MP3 player with 512MB built in memory, and loads more. On a full charge, the battery will last up to 5 hours at least!! I can also connect it to my computer and keep it updated using tomtom Home. With Home, you can add your own recorded custom voices, color themes, start-up image and much much more. Overall, I think this is one of the best satnav ... Read review
