TomTom ONE v3 Great Britain

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > All-in-one Navigation
from: TomTom

August 28, 2007
Had used TomTom GPS before on a PDA and had even borrowed a V1 TomTom One for a trial run, so I was familiar with many of its shortcomings before purchase. Poor battery life, road info not up to date, slow GPS signal capture etc.were all things I knew about but wasn't unduly bothered about - it's the base model after all. 2 weeks after purchase the screen developed a fault, rendering it unreadable. Other than that the product did seem prone to making unusable route decisions via one way streets or restricted access roads which meant having to drive around in circles whilst TomTom worked out a different route. So it has been sent back to Amazon who have refunded us our money; much obliged Amazon. I won't be buying another Tom Tom One and will ... Read More:

This Tom Tom One V3 Europe Sat Nav is absolutely fantastic. Very easy to use. Clear instructions on how to set up and link to PC for updates. Bought this two weeks before going to France and it was so helpful - even my husband agreed!! I would highly recommend this.

TomTom ONE v4 Great Britain

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > All-in-one Navigation
from: TomTom

April 29, 2008
After 2 days spending on searching through review after review I decided to buy the new Tomtom V4...

...and I am very pleased so far after using it on about 20 trips.

Good Points:

the suction and holder are great and was very important to me as many reviews i read about bigger satnavs were falling off. I would like to re-assure you that you will break/bend the holder before it comes off. It has a twist which releases it and is great.

It has many features to play around with which is always great including many voices you can download, colour schemes etc.

Loads very quick and finds satelites very quick.

Connecting to the computer was a breaze on My XP Pro machine. I was very worried ... Read More:

TomTom GO 730T Satellite Navigation System

Updated my TomTom 930 to this one, it's fantastic.
Small enough to fit into your pocket, light and packed with so many features i haven't yet managed to use them all!
Lane guidance is brilliant, very clear directions. Hands free calling also fantastic, IQ routes works out the best route based on avge. traffic for the time of day you are traveling. Subscribe to safety cameras and it's a camera detector too.
Everything you could ever want, plus free traffic updates, which usually you have to pay to download through your phone. Buy this today!

TomTom ONE Explore Inc. Case - Great Britain

If you, like me, are cursed with absolutely no sense of direction or, worse still, the conviction that setting off 180 degrees to the destination simply feels right, then this is the tool for you. Stuck to your windscreen, and quickly removed to slip into its travelling case to avoid theft, it displays:

- the road ahead (green)
- approaching junctions (blue) with an arrow head when the you've reached the correct exit or turn-off
- total mileage remaining
- estimated time of arrival (and also current time)
- your speed and the speed you could/should be doing - your own speed is shown in red if you exceed the limit
- approaching speed cameras (with audio alert)
- other landmarks - railway lines, rivers, lakes, petrol ... Read More:

TomTom GO 930T Satellite Navigation System

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > All-in-one Navigation
from: TomTom

Bought this model from Amazon in May 08, it started to lock up pretty soon after this. Would put it on charge and it would not start up, have only used it for a couple of journeys. Contacted Tomtom and they arranged for it to be sent back for repair. It is great when it works, which has not been to often. Just got it back from Tomtom and the report said it had replaced the main board. When I switched it on and reset my settings , I had an error message appear ? Anyway set it all up and then I noticed it had become a 920 T on splash screens and on a welcome screen, contacted tomtom and spoke to a woman, who had a suspicous American accent, probably a call centre in Bombay. She assured me this was ok. Have sent email to Tomtom to find out why my model has changed.

TomTom GO 520 Satellite Navigation System With UK & Ireland Mapping

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > All-in-one Navigation
from: TomTom

June 11, 2007
Despite loads of software failings "Even microsoft have software problems" said one of the tom tom customer care team, I do like the GO520.

The problems I have encountered;
The voice recognition locks out regularly and the only way to clear the problem is to reset the Tom tom. When it actually works it works well.

The battery doesn't last very long so on journeys more than an hour the voices distort because of battery drain. Plug it in I hear you say, the problem is I like my sat nav on the right side because I find it obstructs my view too much in the centre. This means I have to trail the lead from the centre consol over the dash and wheel!

The mp3 is exellent and because the unit transmitts in Fm you can listen over the stereo in ... Read More:

TomTom GO 530T Satellite Navigation System

Poor poor item. My other half has the standard Tom Tom device and I actually prefer that.
Raging about mine this evening as I had sat in a queue for forty minutes before it told me there was a problem - despite tapping my traffic column for updates numerous times. It then tried to direct me through town!
A usual forty minute journey took two hours.
It does not pick up usual traffic hotspots on my various journeys home either.
I also find it cannot calculate a useful alternative route,and I am relying on my own knowledge, or that thing they call 'a map'.
I bought the thing for home visits in my job but it doesn't seem to to be able to find its way out of the car park.
So no, I don't like it.
