TomTom Western Europe, let Jane take the strain.

Advantages: Stress free travelling, comprehensive, clear instructions, cheap
Disadvantages: Some very minor glitches in confusing bends with turns

...I recently reviewed the TomTom one, which we bought with the Western Europe maps, and I have been waiting to put Jane (our name, after the voice) through her paces in rural France. As with all TomTom maps, easy to see, easy to use, easy to understand, and easy to update. Absolutely fantastic, I have no idea how we ever coped without her/it. From getting off the ferry, the map/navigation was spot on, good clear instructions, in plenty of time, and the first time I have ever got through Paris without a hitch. To give you an idea of how good, we bought a local map of where we were going on the Limousin/Perigord borders, that did not have the town we were staying in (I call it a town loosely) as it was so small, no problem for TomTom, straight there, which was welcome after 7 hours of driving. We spent two weeks in the area...

Review of TomTom Map of Western Europe Maps

A package of maps worth having

Advantages: Ease of use and price
Disadvantages: None

...Having used a Tom Tom Go 700 for a number of years, I decided to update the maps of Western Europe. Tom Tom uses software called Tom Tom Home which is used to download the updated maps. Having connected Tom Tom Go 700 to my PC, via a USB cable, it was a simple matter of clicling on the relevant icon on the Home Software, paying for the maps, and downloading them over the internet. Payment was straight forward. It is undertaken electronically either by credit or debit card, and the down load commenced. Because of the size of the map file, it took a little time to download (I do have broadband running at 8mb band width, so I suppose a lesser bandwith will take longer. Use of the system is simplicity itself. You are given a choice of country, and then you select address, or point of interest....

Review of TomTom Map of Western Europe Maps

The whole of Europe!

Advantages: great software, great usability, graphics, features, lots of maps
Disadvantages: price, it was not that easy to install

...in your trip, etc. You can customize it to 'speak' in many different languages including English, Dutch, Portuguese, French and many others. Furthermore, you can also set the map with different colour schemes, which is very handy when driving at night so the colours are a bit less bright. Other additional features (you need to pay for this) let you know the weather of your destination in advance, the traffic of your route, make phone calls if your device allows you and many others. The advantage of this over the main Tomtom unit is that it has maps for the whole of the Western Europe. The maps are: -UK Holland Belgium Luxembourg France Germany Italy Austria Switzerland Spain Andorra Portugal Denmark Sweden Norway Finland Poland and Czech Republic You can't use all the maps in your memory card in one go unless...

Review of TomTom Map of Western Europe Maps

All Maps Welcome

Advantages: McRaes usual thought-provoking lyrics
Disadvantages: Not as easy to get absrobed into as previous albums

...All Maps Welcome is the third album from Tom McRae, after his self-titled album, Tom McRe, and then Just Like Blood. I first heard this album when I was given a free taster to it, which played about 30 seconds of each song; this then led me to buy the full album. I was already a fan, and was looking forward to seeing him when he toured last year. His dark lyrics and melancholy melodies really blew me away, and I wanted to hear more. In this album, he uses assistance from members of Beck?s backing band. It took only three weeks to record, and the album itself deals with the break up of a long term relationship. His lyrics are just as deep as in other albums, but with hints of self-pity never seen before. I never really connected with this album as much as the previous ones, and I am still sceptical with some of the songs on Just...

Review of All Maps Welcome - Tom McRae

tom tom one europe

Advantages: ease of use
Disadvantages: none

...your closest petrol station, hotel, shopping centre etc. etc. 8) I guarantee it will save you time on the road. 9) It gives you an estimated arrival time. 10) You can enter an address or a post code as a destination. 11) If you have blue tooth you can link your phone to it 12) You can subscribe to additional features such as speed cameras etc. i cannot comment on these as I haven't bothered. the basics are more than enough for me. 13) I just have UK mapping, but you can purchase additional maps from around the world to load into it - these are not cheap though. 14) I heard on the radio this morning that it has £30 off in the high street stores for Easter - there is no better time to buy! What are the down sides There are not many but there are some. 1) People nick them - seriously - all the time. I remove mine from...

Review of TomTom ONE Europe

TomTom USA/Canada Maps Add-On

Advantages: Helps guide you around other countries. Easy to install
Disadvantages: None as yet

...TomTom Map of the USA and Canada Maps TomTom Maps are a 2gb SD card with route maps stored on them that are made to work with the TomTom satellite navigation system. They originally come with UK/Europe maps so these are a brilliant upgrade if you are considering taking your car abroad or hiring a car and driving over there. These are a lot easier than using a standard map when you are visiting another country and make getting around easy. We have just bought one of these as we are planning a trip to the USA and decided one of these would be useful. I have never been abroad so certainly wont know my way around. It was very easy to install onto the TomTom. We also decided the points of interest feature would be really useful as we use the UK based one on our current maps a lot. It has lots of features that include...

The Birds of Europe - Lars Jonson

Advantages: Fantastic Drawings, Very Detailed Information On Every Species
Disadvantages: Quite Expensive

...few years from different Species has shown how accurate these early groupings were. Each left hand page of the Book is dedicated to two or three different Species with drawings of the same species on the opposite right hand page. Each species has several drawings including those of both male and female, different plumage phases, subspecies and illustrations of them in flight. The text for each species includes the Bird's size, a description of its plumage with a strong emphasis on similarities and differences to similar Species, description of habitat where it is found and the sounds and calls that it makes. Below each Species there is a distribution map showing where the Species occurs in Europe. These maps are colour coded to show if the Birds are present all year round, only during the Summer or Winter or if it only occurs as...

Review of Birds of Europe - Lars Jonson

Im talking Maps, BIG Maps, HUGE Maps...

Advantages: lots of free maps, free route planner
Disadvantages: route planner slow

...I first came across MultiMap.com through the use of Lycos. They must have some sort of partnetship with Lycos where the Lycos website used part of the MultiMap site and you were able to look at street maps on the Lycos website. Since then I have used this website whenever I want to find a place that I want to go. ~~The Services~~ The services that MultiMap.com offers, without sound too thick hopefully, are all to do with displaying maps for you. There are many different types of maps you can view, here is a short list of the major types of maps and services available for you to look at. ~ Street Maps and Travel Directions for the UK and Europe. ~ Detailed Maps of the Wolrd. ~ Aerial Photos of London and other UK Cities. ~ An Interactive London Tube Map. ~ Local Information to complement their UK and European Maps. ~ Links...

Review of multi map .com

Bonjour, turn left, etc.

Advantages: Great coverage of Europe for people who own the TomTom Go
Disadvantages: Usually need to purchase additional memory

...Owners of the TomTom Go in-car GPS navigation system will be used to it's sleek design, ease of use, and variety of useful features. The TomTom Go comes with Major Roads of Europe already installed on the memory card included in the box. However, if you'd like to navigate Europe at street level, you'll need to purchase the Maps of Western Europe package for an additional price - usually just over £100. This package comes with all of the street level maps for Western Europe including France, Spain and Germany on 4 CD-ROMs. These maps can be transferred onto SD (Secure Digital) memory cards for use with the TomTom Go Navigator via your home computer. The SD card that comes with the unit can be used, but you'll obviously need to remove the maps of the UK before you upload the European ones. Each map can either be uploaded in full...
