Advantages: Voice control ... 3D modeling at tricky motorways
Disadvantages: Voice command is sluggish

...This new GPS system is Tom Tom high-end version. The Tom Tom Go 930 drives you where you need to go with accurate directions and new navigation tools such as voice address entry and advanced game guidance! The Pros--- Offering entry by voice keeps your hands on the wheel if your driving and need to change route… the new lane assistance helps when the roads get complex by rendering the roads in a 3D form- making the route easier to follow. This portable system also has the classic feature such as route calculation time, text to speech function, integrated blue tooth, maps for UK, US, Canada and the rest of Europe, a remote control and a widescreen display! It also has a very long 5hour battery life which is obviously very handy in tricky situations. Another bonus is it comes with free speed camera software- which I believe... Read review

Advantages: sleek black finish and pocket-sized build.
Disadvantages: Expensive

...The 930T is nicely designed, with a sleek black finish and pocket-sized build. There are few controls on the exterior save for a power button, but the interface is so well designed that this isn't really a problem. On-screen buttons are large and easily accessible, and the massive range of features on offer has been effectively condensed into an intuitive menu structure. Tapping the map view opens the main menu, from which you can plan a route in a number of ways, pair a mobile phone via Bluetooth, manage favourites, itineraries and maps and access music and media. The 'Help Me' feature offers guides, advice and instant directions and contact details for emergency services, and a range of preferences offers full control over customising the interface and information provided en-route.The 930T we have here is the top-end model...

Disadvantages: Price, Extras at Price, Only GB and MRE, SD Card too Small, No Mp3 player facility

...to about half way through and charge again. Do not let it drain. You can always use another battery but you can't change it. You have to dismantle it and to put the icing on the cake you have to solder a few bits. WHHAATTT? I hear you saying. Well tough would say TomTom or just use it with the in-car charger from then on. Nice one guys….Maybe Market Garden wasn't a good idea after all POI To put it mildly the ones that TomTom comes with are rubbish. Well apart from the free fixed cameras one which is good to have. In your face Road Angel! To the rescue…www.poihandler.com which should be itched on the skin of every Sat Nav owner: It has everything! From Museums and Village libraries to Strip Joints and Brothels (I am not kidding). Just download the ones you want and bang them into the maps folder and way you go. Most... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use, clear and concise directions, also acts as a hands free kit
Disadvantages: none

...The TomTom GO 510 gives clear concise directions accompanied by a map marked with the route you are following which comes in handy for those mini roundabouts that don't register on the map. Put in your destination by selecting a favourite (a place pre-defined by you), an address (can be done by postcode or street address) a town or a point of interest and TomTom will get you there. You can select which way you want to go (shortest, quickest, etc) and what time you want to be there. If for any reason you want / need to go a different way mid-journey TomTom can do that for you too. If you need to go to several places in one journey you can use the itinary planner to do that. This series of the TomTom GO lets you know what the speed limit is on some roads and lets you know when you are exceeding it. The widescreen makes the images... Read review

The tomtom GO 500 will naturate your directions outloud on its built in speaker. The TomTom Go 500 can also direct you to whats called a POI (Point Of Interest) which can things such as nearest petrol station, nearest hotel, resturant, nightclub, supermarket etc... Read review

Advantages: Size, Looks, features, reliability
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...This is the easiest and most feature packed GPS in car navigation system that Tom Tom have brought out. I bought one from PC World for £350 and have to say that it is money well spent. I bought it as primarily my job took me to varying places in the United Kingdom on a weekly basis and up till the point i bought it, i had to rely on using paper maps bought from garages. With the incorporated Speed Camera database, you cant go wrong and you get warnings early enough about fixed cameras. (The database doesnt cover mobile speed cameras). With a avriety of languages to choose from, it is suitable for people in all countries. The features are great and navigation is so easy to work out.. simply put in the destination postcode and after a few seconds of plotting you are ready to go. The display is touch screen for ease whilst driving and also... Read review

Advantages: Touch Screen, Bluetooth Connection
Disadvantages: Low Sound From Loudspeaker

...The Tom Tom Go 500 offers a lot for the price. It is reasonably small while still keeping a reasonably sized screen. The screen is clear, and incredibly easy to use. The touch screens enables you too quickly and easily access the menu system and select different areas. It has a piece of software that tells you where all the traffic jams are which is very helpful. Although this only works when it is connected to your phone via the Bluetooth connection. All of this is offered in Tom Tom Plus, which is a subscription service. When connected to you phone, you can make calls easily, and receive and read text messages on the screen. But, when driving, you can not really hear the conversation when calling someone; the loud speaker just isn't loud enough. Although it is fine if you are just keeping to lower speeds and driving around... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use, better than an A-Z
Disadvantages: Bit expensive, battery is not great

...need to do is slide the TomTom on the mount by using what can only be described as a slot. The main reason you get satellite navigation is for directions so I'll talk about that first. Once you turn the machine on and your current position is found (which takes no more than about 15 seconds from pressing the on button to your position being found) then you need to put in your destination. This can either be done by putting in the postcode or manually finding the street. Once you do this the TomTom will calculate your route and confirm it to you. Once this is done then you are up and ready to go. It's as simple as that. As you travel it also gives out information via the speaker such as an upcoming turn or a speed camera ahead. This information is very useful and gives you plenty of warning of what to do. It will tell you when you need... Read review

...I have had my TomTom GO 300 Sat Nav for exactly twelve months now and I wonder how I ever managed without it. I bought my unit on Ebay and paid around £300 for it, since then the prices have come down a lot and a similar specification unit will now cost around £200 The main features of the GO 300 model are...

Disadvantages: Seems a little pricey at first.

...If this little gem had been around in biblical times then there is no way that Jesus would have had to spend 40 days and 40 nights lost in the wilderness. Tap, tap, tap on the TomTom Go's screen with his index finger and he'd have been back in Bethlehem performing miraculous deeds before sunset! : : : What does it do? : : : Let me tell you a little about the TomTom. It's a portable satellite navigation system, which means that as long as it's turned on and can see the sky it can pinpoint its position to within 1 square metre anywhere on the surface of the earth. Yes, anywhere. And if it's beside you then it's pinpointed where you are too. The TomTom Go comes complete with detailed maps of your country and you can buy maps of other countries so you'll know where you are when you're on holiday. The TomTom turns the maps... Read review
