Easy to use even in strong sunlight. Clear and concise verbal instructions. Maps well designed with good quickly read instructions.

Some map details out of date by many years. Near to where I live a one way system at Haywards Heath, West Sussex, on a main road not shown - it has been there for over thirty years. No through road in Lindfield shown with clear access, the road restriction has been in existance for over 10 years. Lewes Railway Station, Sussex, not shown despite having been there for over 150 years. If these map discrepancies are within a few miles of my home how many others are there?

The Tomtom software is great. POI management is simple. Very reliable

Battery life can be poor, even loses charge when not in use. Startup time a bit slow Time to get a GPS signal can be a problem (E.g. sometimes this is a few minutes or so)

My TomTom has no really bad points as far as I am concerned. Both me and my husband love him. We have used him several times and he has always found where we are going. He actually took us to a place that was virtually impossible to find without him. The people we were visiting were astonished when we said 'Thomas' had brought us. He has sometimes tried to send us wrong but if you use your wits a little he is easy to outsmart. Hopefully he is taking us to a cottage in Devon on Christams Eve and I have every faith in him. A couple of his features we particularly like is his speed camera warning and the ability to choose between motorways and minor road preferences

As said prior he doesn't has any 'bad points' just a couple of niggles

Very simple to use, it recalculates the route if you stray off its proposed route very quickly so even if you are forced by a detour out of your way you will still get where you are going. The map share is a fantastic feature, allowing the community to suggest corrections, then TOM TOM verifying them and making them available to download into your TOM TOM device.

Good design, lightweight. Menu system has just about thought of all the options you need. Device got me to a remote location in Sussex to within 50 yds. I reckon it's the best on the market overall.

Accompanying software can be a little unnerving - the 2nd time I connected it to my laptop it had difficulty reading it. Also wasn't sure it had actaully downloaded the safety camera info after I've paid for it (but it had).
