Advantages: Easy to use, great additional features
Disadvantages: Slightly slower than other models on satellite detection

... TomTom One 3rd Edition Background TomTom have long been the leading name in Car Navigation Systems. For this reason, they are often not the cheapest, but are definitely the most reliable and have the best features. The TomTom One is the original version, therefore the simplest, yet the 3rd edition has many of the features of the newer Car Navigation Systems. Price and Packaging My TomTom One was bought as a Christmas gift for £122 from the website Pixmania. As already said, you can get cheaper models but the TomTom has the best features. The packaging is simple, a square box with the instruction booklets in the bottom, the accessories (windscreen affixer, USB cable and in car charger) on top of the booklets and the TomTom itself in a plastic case sitting at the top.

Advantages: New Features. MP3 Player,Audio Books,Traffic Alert system and more
Disadvantages: None

...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

Advantages: Excellent navigation and GPS reception, portable, good value for money
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: Small neat device that works well and excellent navigation software
Disadvantages: Non-replaceable battery, maps getting out of date

...road noise and even stereos, if not too loud. The software uses the GPS speed to modulate the volume as well so that at faster speeds, the voice instructions automatically get louder. I use the phone in a normal window mount and don't have to use an external speaker as the Treo650 puts out enough volume by itself. The instructions themselves are given in good time and usually make sense - like "Right turn ahead…. Right turn in 200 meters… Turn right" or "Cross the roundabout, 3rd exit". You can choose miles or kilometres and the voice and display will adapt - I like metric units. If you really don't like the built-in voices you can download new ones but they tend to mostly be foreign languages or "comedy" ones. You can even download a Japanese one. My wife is Japanese so I might try it out to improve my Japanese at the risk... Read review

Advantages: Easy to setup and use, Clear maps, Works great!
Disadvantages: Some minor bugs, Costly to keep maps up to date

...have noticed some issues with the maps - telling me to take the 3rd exit when I wanted the 2nd from a rounabout where it counted both lanes of a dual carriageway as exits on a roundabout - this does not happen everytime, just with some roundabouts so it must be the maps. I have also been happily driving up the A1(M) and it told me to turn right - it seems that either a section of the A1 has moved, or the maps are incorrect for a couple of miles as I was driving parallel to where it thought the road was! I accept that these are issues with the maps that TomTom use, and they are produced by a company called TeleAtlas. You can report map issues to TeleAtlas, but I have not seen any results of my submissions being updated so far. There are a couple of software glitches too - sometimes where there are a couple of quick turnings, TomTom says... Read review

Advantages: Great features, Price
Disadvantages: None - Maybe battery life, restricted internal memory

...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. Now I'm no expert, to be honest I was a first time buyer on a budget and only previously had experience of a friends Navman F20 before buying my own tomtom 10 days ago. I set out as you are probably doing now reading all the reviews on different makes and finding people talking more about battery life and suction ability rather than what it can actually do. Step one, it eventually hit me that the only way to avoid disappointment and really find out its full features is to go to the manufacturers website and download there product manual if its available. Four real must have features I would say on any Sat Nav worth having are: * Map scrolling, where you can use... Read review

Advantages: Very funny indeed
Disadvantages: It's ended

...year just in case. The stars are keen to express the nice time they had filming but also the way NBC treated them. Levitt says ‘From day one they didn’t know how to treat us…we were like a soldier show, being shifted about whenever it suited them’ he goes on by saying ‘At the end of the 2nd Season it didn’t seem like they cared about us at all’. Lithgow also feels ‘let down’ about the way NBC handled the show. 3rd Rock From the Sun is a rarity. It’s funny, witty and lays low on the cheese. It also has the nice honour this time, of being the first show to film in 3D (in the episode of ‘A Nightmare On Dick Street’). The show is being left open ended just in case. I hope that maybe another station will pick it up or we are treated to a few specials here... Read review

Advantages: reliability easy to use
Disadvantages: large software files

...----------------------------------------------- The TomTom ONE V2 is the only brand worthy Sat Nav system that uses savvy technology with a slick and compact interface that deals with all your landmark requests, roadmaps,voice settings,easy navigation on the 3X3 inch monitor. It comes with car plugs and software accessories. If you said 2 years ago I would have this little bit of Sav Nav revolution in my car I would of laughed. "Mr T, telling me where to go.... your telling a porkie!! " Yeah, the software allows famous voices to tell you where to go. What happened to the good old compass... Dib Dib Dob Dob. Speed Camera Warnings ----------------------------------- The TomTom tells you when there is a speed camera coming up as well. The warning comes up on the monitor in a customary red flash that alerts you... it lets out an alert tone just in case the flashing does not warn you. TomTom... Read review

Advantages: New system, very good presentation.
Disadvantages: New system, pretty costly.

...Most roleplayers will have heard of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. If you haven't, go to your local gaming store and buy a copy now: it is the definitive fantasy roleplaying system. However, most people are familiar with the old 2nd edition rules (released in two prints; brown books or black) and the question is whether to upgrade to the new 3rd edition. The 3rd edition books are something completely apart from the old 2nd edition system. The rules have been totally re-written, making the 3rd Ed system completely different and incompatible with 2nd Ed. Whereas the re-release of 2nd Ed was little more than a make-over for the same old rules, these books constitute an entirely new game. I won't go into all the rules changes, but to give 2nd Ed players an idea: armour class has been totally turned around, and all of the rules have... Read review

Disadvantages: None I have found yet!

...The boring facts 1st....... Technical Specifications: High sensitivity GPS chipset. 32MB RAM-CPU 266MHz 4.3inch full TFT colour LCD touch screen (480x272 pixels. 64,000 colours). Internal Lithium-lon battery (2 hours operation). 119mm x 86mm x 27mm, 208 grams. Operating temperature -10 to +55 0c. What comes with this sat nav. TomTom One XL device. Memory card (SD card). Windscreen holder. USB Car Charger and USB cable. TomTom Home software. Product code card. Documentation. I bought this Tom Tom as every time I have to go somewhere that I'm not familiar with I get lost! It cost me £299, which is a lot of money, but as it has the speed camera's on it, it helps me keep a clean licence, so to me its well worth the money. You can get them cheaper if you don't want the camera's on it, but as this was a treat to me I... Read review
