- got completely confused within London city centre. This could be because of large buildings.

+ upgradable maps via tom tom web site

- sometimes a little vague with directional instructions

+ Ease of use and improved attachment to window makes it much easier to use that the previous model

- None really, small icons so have to be careful when entering postcode but this is due to its size.

+ ease of installation and set up, downloading updates from the web

- has a tendency to fall from the windscreen

+ does what it says on the box

- none

+ I purchased this tom tom for my daghters 21st, she is over the moon with it and all its little extra things it does, better than my old one that she used to borrow!
Also, the slim size fits in her bag so she doesnt have to leave it in the car.

- Not come across any bad points yet!

+ the new window grip is much better than older versions

+ very easy to use and set up

- none

+ good size, easy to use and very handy.

- some area couldnt find it

+ Very similar to my old tomtom so very easy to start using. windscreen anchor point secure and easy to adjust and as it is part of the unit a lot better than old one.

- None found so far .

+ Easy to use
Good size
Intructions clear and accurate
Looks good

- None

+ easy to use clear instructions

- cant think of any

+ Clear screen with clear figures and good colouring

- I have used it a few times since purchasing and the sound has just disappeared whilst driiving but the thing that I find most frustrating is the very bad instruction booklet given with the product. Having never used a satnav before I found the instruction leaflet absolutely useless and had to rely on working it out for myself by trial and error. Friends who have purchased a Garmin satnav have told me I should have purchased one of those and not the TomTom and I am beginning to agree with them!

- some roads not recognised

+ The instructions came straight up on the screen on switching it on whereas with our old one you had to read
the CD that came with it

- It doesnt seem to fasten onto the windscreen as well as the old one used to
It doesnt hold its charge as well as the old one after use

+ We have just returned from our holiday in Wales and the Tom Tom was so fantastic in finding all the places we wanted to visit. We would not have enjoyed our holiday as we would not have know our way around the long narrow winding lanes!!!

- The only thing is the suction to hold it in place is not very strong.

+ Very user friendly. Battery lasts for quite a while when charged. Sticks to the windscreen like glue compared to older versions.

- None.

+ Everything.

- Could do with a decent Users manual.

+ Good size does not obstruct view, good for fat fingers like mine too. Excellent that the mount folds into back of unit for anti theft puposes.

- Bit of glare off the screen on really sunny days. Exiting A roads with 2 - 3 junctions close together can be inaccurate causing an early and wrong turn off (A14 Cambridge/Cottenham/Girton as example)

+ Excellent, clear and easy to read display

- None!!!!

+ small and cheap

- accuracy of destination area

+ Keeps you focused on driving by eliminating distractions. Voice (Jane) very soothing.

- Attachment device is good, but the clip on to the actual TomTom itself could be stronger.

+ Small, compact and the integral windscreen holder makes both easy to carry around. Make sure you press the holder to the screen firmly then twist to lock and it stays in place well. The Tom Tom clips off easily from the holder if required. Make sure to update the software and you can download extras (ie Dodge Viper as your car icon) from the tom tom download site.

- This replaced an old Tom Tom and the old charging cable had a round plug that made it easier to insert into the device than this. Ths connector plug here is a small usb style connector and can be fiddly to connect.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Very clear directions and good sized screen

- None so far

+ easy to use, good design, accurate routing

- cannot find the only place in Ireland I want to go and I know it is on other people's Tom Tom's!

+ quick too learn

- some times turns its self on

+ The ease of use plus clear verbal instructions.

- I owned a Tomtom go before ans was able to work the satnav from tomtom home this one its not possible or at least very limited. One other thing is the maps are not at all accurate down here I presume they are based on ordanance survey maps which are useless in Cornwall according to satnav I live in a completely different road to my postal address.

+ all

- no

+ clear and precise directions

- Took me to the wrong destination on two occasions - although it was within the postcode area.

+ Very easy to use and setup, setup in very short time. Holder very good and simple to use, takes seconds to put on windscreen.

- None that I can think of.

+ Easy to use small so ca fit in your bag

- none

+ Having three options to use to get to your destination:-
Postcode
House and street No
Latitude - Longitude

- There is at least one route that tom tom wopuldd not use even when 'via' was used and even though it was a well used traffic and bus route.

+ Nice and simple I didn't need to read the manual

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Very compact (smaller than you think), holde is good, traffic cameras and sound options

- Very Very slow to pick up signal - can often take the first 5 mins of your journey before you get locked-on to a satellite. sound is too quiet unless on full volume.

+ very compact compared to old model

- clips on base unit hard to locate and fix

+ Does what it claims and so easy to use and set up

- The holder occasionally falls off the windscreen

+ easy to use nice and small

- no bad points

+ Ease of use.

- Slow to pick up signal on switch-on

+ Lots of extras not included on our previous TomTom, e.g. Where am I? Where's the nearest chemist? etc. The lady's voice is clearer than the one on our previous TomTom. Very useful to have the warning beeps for speed cameras; dollar signs to represent banks are helpful too. A clever gimmick to be able to choose the colour of the car on the map! (the previous TomTom just had an arrow).

- On a recent holiday we were twice wrongly directed - once the road had recently been changed into a cul-de-sac, and the other time we were directed to turn left into a road which was only for buses and taxis. At the end of our holiday the TomTom froze - unfortunately we'd left the instructions at home; on returning home we found we had to reset it by pressing and holding down the start button (which immediately put it right).

+ Easy to use - simple to attach and and dismount

- None that I've found so far!

+ neat and small. Easy to use.

- none

- Cant get it zoom out on certain locations.

+ Very easy to use. Don't even need to read instructions.

- n/a

+ Price

- None as yet

+ Compact and easy to fix to windscreen.

- Instructions could be a bit more in depth.

+ It was my first time driving on motorways so for me to get from a to b approx 80 miles was an achievement. Sat nav took me to the door, couldn't have managed without it. Gave sufficient notice of when to exit the motorways and when to bear left and bear right. I did take a wrong turn, my fault and the sat nav got me back on the right road.

- none

+ easy to use

- Difficult to find a good position on dashboard or windscreen

+ its really easy to use, following directions is so simple

- the screen could be a bit bigger

+ Very accurate and reliable. Useful for finding the way on unmarked roads or around unknown city centres.
Don't need to be able to see it. Gives plenty of warning before turnings.

- Sometimes takes a couple of minutes to find the signal.

+ ease of use.

- none but could have givern us a case with product

+ compact size easily portable

- a bit fiddly to set up a bit time consuming

- it dose not have traffic and iq routes the next one up dose

+ Easy to use and easy to see

- Reviewer left no comment

+ good attachment to window, but difficult due to small size

- connection lead into unit requires care
smaller than i thought

+ It does what i want at a good price

- suckers a bit of a pain

+ Small, easy to use, reasonable price and has never let me down.

- Yet to find any perfect buy.

+ Everything except - see below

- I have had the Tomtom for about a month and only used it a few times. The suction device no longer works and the device keeps falling off the windscreen which is dangerous and frustrating. Is there a guarentee? I did not receive one.

+ commands are clear and accurate, if you do take a wrong turn or if you are diverted it is quick to re-calculate your route.

- the only thing i would change would be to have a bigger screen.

+ easy to understand when planning routes. very user friendly.

- my only complaint is that I am disapointed that it did not come with a carrying case

+ Have used this twice and it does the job so am rather pleased
