TomTom really have the market sussed

Advantages: Great customisation features, big clear screen, easy to use
Disadvantages: Battery life, no wall charger included

...believe you can attach headphones to it so not to attract attention to yourself with the spoken instructions! This versions of the TomTom includes the latest maps of the UK & Ireland. You can get some TomTom's which have maps of Europe in them, but as I'm not planning on road trip around Europe anytime soon I went for the UK & Ireland version. Another big factor on choosing this one was the fact that the Europe edition was £80 more expensive at the time & after checking just now I noticed they haven't changed in price as I presumed they would have done either. The TomTom Go 520 has a 4.3" touch screen, this is bigger than a lot of the competition brands of sat nav & one more reason I went for the TomTom. The touch screen is very easy to use & extremely responsive. You don't need one of those special pens like I've seen with other sat...

Review of TomTom GO 520

TomTom To the Rescue

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

...After recently getting my brand spanking new TomTom 520 I thought I'd say a few words about how wonderful it is! The TomTom brand of satellite navigation is probably the most popular satellite navigation system around. This is not to say it is the best one, merely the most popular. Within the TomTom range there are numerous models and the price ranges from about £130 - £400. Obviously the more you pay then the more features you will get. These may include things like different maps for the rest of the world or the ability to link it to your phone. Satellite navigation systems are basically a tool that uses satellites to locate where you currently are and direct you to your destination by putting in the desired address. They use spoken voices to tell you when and where to turn and also how far from your turning you are. It is...

Tom Tom Go520

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 settings much easier than previous models. And the flexibility to 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!...

tom tom one europe

Advantages: ease of use
Disadvantages: none

...the fancy features of the other models - leave them alone and buy this basic. Most of the upgrades of the high end models are available on down load anyway! What is so good about it? 1) It is relatively slim for a sat nav, so it will fit into a jacket pocket. 2) It is sooo easy to use that even a techophobe will find it a doddle with it's simple displays and touch screen. 3) It cuts out all the fancy bits that you don't need. 4) You can update it quickly and easily through your PC. 5) The display has a 3D facility that is incredibly simple to follow - far better than any version I have seen on friends sat navs. when they see Tom Tom they know they have made the wrong choice! 6) You can programme different ways of reaching your destination i.e. avoid motorways, road blocks etc, etc. 7) At the touch of the screen you can find...

Tom Tom's top of the range

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 to be...

Review of TomTom GO 930 Traffic

Tom Tom One

Advantages: Clear easy to use menus
Disadvantages: Mapping sometimes inaccurate

...I have owned my Tom Tom for nearly two years now, and use it most days for work. The system is really easy to use thanks to a touch screen menu system, using symbols as well as descriptions for the main menu options, and it is really easy to program and set up with your own details. For the most part, the mapping is accurate and gets you to where you want to be, but as with all sat nav's a degree of common sense is required, and you should never take all of the instructions too literally! What I have been dissapointed with recently was the performance of the system in Cornwall. No matter how you program it the Tom Tom will always lead you down narrow country lanes rather than the safer A or B roads, and very annoingly it was convinced that we were in the middle of a field when on some parts of the A30, despite updating the maps...

TomTom GO 520

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 GPS signal (unlike my previous sat nav). It identifies 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...

Review of TomTom ONE Europe

Tom Tom ? - Ding Dong ! . .

Advantages: Just Brilliant.
Disadvantages: Price, risk of theft, otherwise none.

..., you just need to use a small amount of common sense. You can add more POIs (Points of interest) just like you could with the older versions, these include everything from the location of all McDonalds to local hairdressers. An anti-theft idea is that you can only turn on your TomTom when you enter a 4 digit pin number, I admit I have not got round to this yet. I will keep you informed. The V3 uses software which needs either the address or postcode. There is also an address book where you can go directly to "favourites" saving you time. There are many more additional goodies in the new version, including the "Help" button, this asks you what you require & offers assistance, it gives basic first aid advice, provides routes to nearest hospital, gives information like phone numbers to pharmacies etc. Also on offer is a "Where am I...
