- my holder broke after only a week so i now have to rest if on the seat of my car!!!!!!!

+ Ease of use and good price point

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Very easy to use.Good value for money. No buttons just a touch screen

- Several streets I entered either by name or postcode were not listed.

+ Very good value for money, excellent size - fits in shirt pocket when not in use. Easy to use and about 99% accurate

- Placing on windscreen holder is difficult. Occasionally falls down by coming unstuck. Would benefit from a permanently screwed holder on the dashboard somewhere - similar to a mobile phone cradle.

+ Excellent value as I got UK and Ireland with traffic version for less than the price of the non-traffic version alone elsewhere. Very easy to use. Also easy to personalise by inserting your own preferences and via the Tomtom site. An excellent entry level sat nav

- Unlike previous versions can't use an SD card so very limited if you were to travel outside UK.

+ As someone who doesn't know right from left or north from south the Tom Tom has feerd me to go anywhere. Its easy to get started straight out the box and instructions are clear and timely.

- Not so good at finding the nearest petrol station - took me up a blind alley twice

+ It is easy to use and you have peace of mind if you are ever late and need an alternative route.

- Not very easy to store, once you have arrived at your destination. I feel i darn't leave it in car as may get stolen and is too large to carry in pockets or handbag. So if i tend to only take it on long journeys.

+ compact, easy to store.

- Address finder functionality is limited. Can not always find roads in built up areas. Battery recharge is short , around 1 hour 30 mins. In car charger doesn't fit all cars so check it fit your car before you buy.

+ very simple to use

- not fully compliant with all uk roads especialy back roads and lanes in counrty side

+ selection of voices, (Jane is great), really clear directions, speed cameras pointed out

- a bit on the small side

+ Looks good. Compact - can fit into a handbag. Ease of use - plug and go. "Does what it says on the tin"

+ easy to use

- it gets stuck easily, loses the signal and 8 times out of 10 chooses to take you to your destination in a roundabout way. We tried this using it when we knew where we were going and the route it chose did not make sense at all. overall not happy

+ it dos its job

- non that i know of

+ Over all this is an excellent easy to use product,(do's exactly what it say's on the tin.),very portable, easily understood directions.

- It can take a very long time to pick up a GPS signal.

+ It is very accurate and is has a large variety of different points of interest. It allows you to set a colour range which suits you best.

- It beeps when you go over the speed limit!!!

+ Most useful tool to navigate around UK

- It only takes house numbers. In the country ( rural areas) houses, farms etc., do not have numbers - hence one cannot narrow down the precise position of a property only a rough location

+ all good

- none

+ Quite easy to use with little or no previous experience. Good clear instructions which are given at the right moment.

- Some of the selected routes are not the most appropriate - particularly when towing a caravan!

+ Easy to use. Very clear directions in use.

- Even updated, there are a few roundabouts not reckonised

+ Godd clear route graphics

- You do need some knowledge of the route to avoid being directed through towns rather than round them.

+ Easy to use,accurate to the point.

+ It is accurate out on the road and quite easy to use

- It is rather small and I prefer user guides/instructions to be in booklet form rather than on PCs. It would be good if TomTom included some kind of cable-tidy device with the product, so that the wire is not draped accross the dash.

+ Stopped me getting speeding tickets on a long and unfamilar journey!

- Can't think of any!

+ Easy to use

- Maps out of date, sends you the wrong way and the long way. It does not always make sense. It sends me all the way around the one way system instead of turning right. The system is more than 2 years old so it should know I can turn right!!!!!

+ Once the post code is entered it`s easy to enter the address, the map and voice are very clear.

- The route took me into a dead end, also the screen is a bit too sensitive. If you touch it by mistake you lose whatever is on the screen.

+ Good value for money. Established name. Easy to use

- none

+ Amazing product - small and easy to use - toss away those paper maps!

+ Sounds better than expected. The stic on bit is brill.

- When you are getting old like me, the first thing to go, (I believe) is eyesight, the bigger the screen the better.

+ I THINK EVERY THING ABOUT IS JUS AS GOOD AS I THOUIGHT.THTS WA I NEEDED SO AM HAPI WIV IT.

- NOTHING BAD!!!

+ Can set different accents.
Can upgrade to have traffic information.
Can set to avoid particular roads.

- Would like to have option to have verbal instructions in metres and speed information on screen in miles.
Sometimes the instructions regarding roundabouts are not correct regarding which exit to take.

+ clear instructions

- long time to lock on to sattalites

+ Fits nicely into a handbag , very easy to use and to keep up to date by conncecting to a pc.

- Had one experience where it didnt get me to the address I put in and ended up in a retail park , thankfully I was close to the Premiere Inn I was booked to stay in, It maybe the postcode was wrong given by the Premiere Inn guide book I am not sure, another time it refused to speak on the way home as I found a short cut and I think it got the hump cos I didnt want to go home via M25 , good job I new where I was going because the sat nav sure didnt.

- If not used for a while, the battery gets low very quickly, making you use the charger.
Doesn't recognise my house number for my postcode in my Home details.

+ Great product easy to use packed with features

- clip that attaches to the windscreen could be better falls of if not moist enough and hard to get of if too moist

+ Able to use it right away, a quick read and I was off!

- None so far!

+ My wife can get to places after I have programed it for her.

- Some maps not up todate

+ Certainly orientates walker/driver. Backup downloads could be much less expensive. I feel that much more business could be done should this be the case.

- The issue of the driver taking concentration off the road is not without essence.
The power lead is cumbersome. Solar power??

+ ease of use, size

- sometimes takes you a long way round to your location

+ very easy to use, lots of different features a very good product overall

- Sometimes the tom tom takes you down some very small country roads which are not very acsessable.

+ Great product, easy to use and lots of features for such an inexpensive model.

- Suction cup does not always stick to the window securely and seems to fall off at the most inopportune moments.

+ All of the above

- Not always clear at roundabouts ie counts non-entry roads as exits

+ Easy instructions for set up and being able to se the product.

- None that I know of at the moment.

+ Ease of use good value for money great online support

- none

+ Love it makes driving a lot easier

- Don.t like it on windscreen but it will not stick anywhere else

+ Compact size. Night colours very useful to stop glare. Easy to use.

- Can't find any

+ Was able to buy maps for other countries and use straight awy

- Once you have renamed a favorite you can't see the original detail - causes problems with addresses as you loose the house number if you forget to put it in the name!!!!

+ can update maps if roads change. Doesn't lose touch with satellite too often.

- can't upgrade to European maps due to internal memory size.
Occasionally inaccurate in journey

+ ease of use. As i am not good with technology i was glad it was easy to use.

- Battery doesnt last long enough. if you touch it by mistake the sound goes off as the screen takes you into preferences and turns off the sound. It has tried to make me turn right where there is no turn right on two occassions. Needs a pointer to work it as anyone with large fingers would struggle to input addressess etc and there is not one included. bought a cd with celebrity voices on and could not install them

+ Very straight forward to use

- None

+ This is a bit of kit for all drivers (or walkers). Very handy, super and accuratate, its better than my built in one so i wont be selling it.

- Does not hold a long charge! If you only have 1 x 12volt point and the kids want to charge a nintendo, not a chance.

+ far superior to previous r.a.c sat nav i bought. Good memory, so easy to use .Exellant product

- suction bracket sometimes falls off windscreen

+ The post code search is excellent, the screen is a good size and it is easy to use

- Still has some addresses missing or house numbers in a street missing even though they have been there for years.

+ Easy to use

- problems downloading the speed cameras

+ First the size, then getting to a destination without having to stop to check a map or ask for directions.

- When towing a caravan it could direct you down a unsuitable road.

+ Compact, Easy to use, good looking.

- Battery only lasts about 1 hour if not on charge in the car. The new section of the A1 which has been built about 3 years is still not on the database, even after an update.

+ really useful & accurate

- None......yet!

+ I was very impressed with the product.
Easy to use.

- None that I am aware off.

+ Simple to use. Works straight out of the box.

- None

+ If you don't have a clue where you are going, it is great!

- Doesn't always give you the quickest/best route.

+ Has to be the best SATNAV on the market. Excellent value for money, ease of use and asthetically looks brilliant.

- NONE

+ Mapshare is the obvious benefit of this device as satnav maps are ocassionally unreliable and this allows on-going, free corrections/updates.

- N/A

+ very practical and user friendly

- none as yet

+ Easy to use, great size, has always got me where I need to go.

- I dont think I have come across any as yet.

+ Warns when you are going over the speed limit and informs you where speed cameras are. Allows you to concentrate on the road.

- Sometimes it directs you off roads for no apparent reason, eg will tell you to leave a motorway go round a roundabout and then go sraight back onto the motorway

+ Easy to use with some useful options. I like the warning for when speed cameras are near. Don't like the fact that the sucker to hold the sat nav in place only attaches to a window.

- Cost of adding updates. Would be better if more features were gratis.

+ Its very easy to use and does pick out the quickest route. Ones that you may not have thought of before!

- It sometimes has a mind of its own and whilst navigating, changes onto different screens. The in car charger fits into the bottom and is quite fiddly to put in, even if you are not driving. It doesn't like it if you don't follow its instructions!

+ it helps very much when you are trying to find a place for the very first time, and you don't know the area.

- it seems to lose charge very quickly even when plugged into the cars cigarette lighter, and loses charge even when its switched off at home.

+ Easy of use

- No external memory card

+ Very straightforward to set up and good updates available through internet. Clear instructions and mapping.

- Occasionally doesn't recognise road's existance. Can be confused by roads which are private no through roads.

+ The product has been great overall. Easy to use and it does the job.

- Smaller screen than some tom tom's, but not a problem really

+ Ease of use

- Reviewer left no comment

- not very accurate, seems to get confused easily and doesnt take you the best route

+ plenty of notice before reaching junctions and roundabouts to let you know what lane you need to be in. Clear and precise instructions.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ prevents pre-holiday map reading disputes. Excellent for large housing estates and industrial estates.

- can be slightly distracting, also wires trailing in the car are not good, sometimes will not stick to my screen!!!

+ size, ease of you

- the sucker lets the product down. Its not much fun driving and trying to pickup the tom tom of the floor at the same time especially if you are supposed to be turning off at the next junction!!

+ Very easy to use; clear to read when driving; fast to suggest new route if overrided. Small and light to put in pocket.

- Sometimes a bit slow to get a position fix; software not aware of some recent road changes; occasionally makes strange route decisions; battery life is pretty poor but comes with car charger.

+ Easy to use menu's
Clear display

- UK map is out of date as soon as you buy it, somme streets that have been there for years are not shown.

+ Great device which is both accurate and easy to install. The unit reprogrammes quickly if the suggested route is not followed.

- The mains lead is an extra expense and could be included in the original price

+ Just excellent!!

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Size and cradle

- SD card slot in wrong place, easy to accidentally eject memeory card when trying to get device out of the cradle. Screen is unreadable in bright sunlight, screen material too reflective.
