...I don't know too much about in-car satellite navigation systems (satnavs, as they call them) and it's not that I have used a number of devices so that I can compare the pros and cons of one against the other. But, I am a very satisfied user of TomTom One and would definitely recommend it to any potential buyer. We bought the TomTom One about 4 months ago and to date, it hasn't given us a chance to regret our decision. The TomTom One is one of the numerous entry-level satnavs in the market, but does not disappoint with its loads of features and reasonable price (We bought ours in Aug 2006 for £199). It has become very popular in the market. There are, of course, other companies which offer entry-level devices at a much lower price, but I can say from my and my friends' limited experience, TomTom devices are way ahead in terms...

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... Read review

...As you have probley guest this is my second review of the tomtom go satalite navigation system after owning the tomtom go classic for about a year I was foolish enough to leave mine in my car for five seconds as I popped into work not knowing that the light fingered brigade had spotted my beloved tomtom go classic through my blacked out privacy glass in my mg and before I knew it I had a broken drivers side window and my tomtom had gone. After getting my car fixed and numerous interviews with the police I found out I had acouple of weeks insurance provided buy currys still valid so I got in touch with currys for a claim form which they rushed to me after sending it off I had to wait a couple of weeks for a reply . During those couple of weeks of waiting I realised that the tomtom was the best purchase I had ever made and I was lost... Read review

Advantages: Compact, neat and gets you where you want to go
Disadvantages: Don't use Shortest route on long journeys

...So there I was with a trip to Leicester from North Wales, so I visited a website to get a route map, OH NO! How confusing, so I bought myself the new TomTom One Local from my local Currys for only £199.98. After getting the TomTom home and unpacking it I couldn't believe how compact the new model was compared to the older models that I had used in the past the new TomTom One is about 2.8cms deep, 9.5cms wide and 8cms high. In the box you get the SD card with the UK map on it as well as a CD with TomTom Home, which I will mention Later, the in-car charger, cable for plugging the TomTom into your PC, windscreen mount, registration card and the manual that you need to get the TomTom running. First of all the manual is right down to the basics of using the TomTom and explains how to enter an address and the TomTom will work out... Read review

...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

...I was bought this for Xmas and I felt like a kid again. The special offer at Curry's brings also a very welcome TomTom traffic module, this is actually just a re branded TMC module (the little green cameras on motorways) and works via RDS but hey on its own is about £60 so why not. Open another box (inside the big one) and you finally you find the TomTom, sitting there looking at you pretty in a nice gleam smile. I was just dying to open it up and try it. Common sense though suggested putting it on charge and playing about with the rest of the gadgets. This is where the first problem arouses. There is no jack to plug the charger in the TomTom and you have to use the dock, which means you have you have a dangling USB cable down in the living room because some genius designer though to make it built in. Now past that irritating... Read review

...The TomTom 910. Well this mere mortal is here again. Over the years I have owned 3 TomTom devices, the TomTom Classic, TomTom 500 and now the TomTom 910. Family members are benefiting from my cast-offs in a big way. So imagine my delight when visiting my local Halfords on the 3rd of May 2006 to purchase screen wash, I found myself being mysteriously drawn by an unknown force to the GPS display. I could feel my credit card trembling in fear, in a euphoric haze I purchased the said device. I left the store trembling in anticipation, achieved warp factor 7 and found myself at home opening the box. OK so I had an idea, that they were about to introduce a new range with even more features than the last, but I did not realise that they were to appear so soon. What's in the Box TomTom Go 910 A change from the 300... Read review

...Tomtom Sat Nav? You want to read about its useful features and not the gimmicks. What's worth having and what's not? The difference between the Tomtom V2 and V3.
