Advantages: fm transmssion, bluetooth with remote, voice recognition, music player and image viewer
Disadvantages: No maps for the whole world, no maps for sea navigation.

...Fantastic product which is great for all types of journeys. The 'advanced planning' also allows one to browse a map of the route before the journey begins and the image viewer and mp3 player can keep one entertained on the jourmeys. The passenger can also operate the device using the bluetooth remote. The traffic receiver, with lifetime subscription to traffic updates, is useful. An FM transmitter is also featured, which can be used to broadcast music to the car stereo. Maps of europe, USA and Canada are fantastic for going abroad. The fast processor means that if you deviate from the prefixed route, an alternative route is calculated straight away. Voice recognition allows the user to speak the destination, rather than type it in. Bluetooth connectivity allows the user to use their bluetooth-enabled phone wirelessly. The TomTom... Read review

Disadvantages: Poorly located charging indicator LED

...One to connect to a PC could be more user-friendly. It is definitely not up to the mark. • I have had to reset it sometimes when starting it up, but this is not a major issue. I have heard people say that the TomTom One's loudspeaker is not as good as its predecessors'. I myself have had no problems with it. The volume is also linked to the car speed so that the volume is increased at higher speeds to improve audibility.

Advantages: Text to speech
Disadvantages: Nothing!

...The TOMTOM GO 920T is an essential for people who travel both short distances and long distances in the car. I paid £353 for this beauty. I'm usually very wary, on what Im purchasing if its in the hundreds range as I want a good quality product if im going to splash out. I feel very safe buying tomtom product however as it has a very good reputation efficient navigation devices. And the GO 920T is no exception. What I love about this perticular tomtom is the 4.3" widescreen which helps improve what you are seeing and also i dont struggle to type the destination i am wanting to go to. Its an excellent communicator It lets you have text-to-speech which means the tomtom can announce street names, as well as sms and traffic messages. Which means you can focus more on driving as the tomtom does everyhting for you. One of my... Read review

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

Disadvantages: highly nickable

...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

Advantages: Easy menu system, cheap price
Disadvantages: Odd track sorting, various technical faults experienced

...My big gripe with this model is the faults that it has developed durng my time using it. However I'll go over my experiences using the player and it's other features before I describe these. Price: £120 delivered - eBay (Apr 2005) First appearances: When I first opened up the box, the player struck me as a fairly stylish and compact jukebox for the cheap price I bought it at. The part-metal outer construction seemed pretty solid and the buttons were of good quality, not seeming loose or fragile. The YH-920 took about 5 hours to fully charge the first time around. Ease of use: Being impatient, I skipped the instructions and got straight into exploring the functions of the YH-920. Now this player has very few actual buttons - one 4-way pad beneath the screen operates the menu system, and is very simple to pick up. Within a couple... 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

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

...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
