Ehjaz, Uxbridge

+ Really easy to use, great size, much better than I expected. Finds the adresses straignt away. Would definately recommend to anyone who travels alot. Having seen how good it is I wish I brought the one with maps of EUROPE as it would be worth it even if you just use it once abroad

- I did not realise it only comes with an in car charger. I had to purchase a charger from elsewhere

Dave, Somerset

+ Very quick to find satellites, easy to navigate, clear voices even though i use mine mainly for camera location warnings.

- battery life not as good as it could be. Be very wary if driving LGV or towing caravans because choosing shortest routes could lead to navigating down narrow roads, i think this is the same with most Sat Navs

- Had to send the item back after one week as the speaker blew. I was offered a full refund or an exchange, so apart from that, great little device.

Rachel, Swadlincote, Derbyshire

+ Really easy to use. Touch screen makes things simple and easy. Like how the volume increases with your speed to make sure you don't miss what's being said. Great carry case too, small enough to fit in my bag, but not so small that I'll lose it!

- Hardly any really. The only thing I've found so far is that the accuracy of my house isn't quite right, but I'm assuming that's because I live on a new (ish) estate.

Christopher, Lancashire , “My First TOM TOM.”

+ Intuative to operate, easy to reconfigure the various options and pretty much idiot proof.

- Lost signal once in heavy rain, could be confusing to new purchaser at motorway exits when it can give the command "KEEP RIGHT" which should be changed to "KEEP STRAIGHT AHEAD AND IGNORE EXIT" if anything.

Voice Control	No
A voice control function allows you to talk to the Satellite Navigation system and give it instructions. This can be very helpful when driving as it allows you to maintain full focus on the road.
Map Coverage	UK and Ireland
Satellite Navigation systems normally come pre-loaded with a map that covers a portion of the world. Look for UK map coverage if you plan to only use your GPS in the United Kingdom.

Memory Card Slot	No

Memory card slots come in many formats: Compact Flash Card Memory Stick Duo Micro SD Card MMC SD Card SDHC Card
Built-in Camera	No
Some GPS products come with a built in digital camera that allows you to photograph the place you are at and then add it to your map. Next time you wish to visit that place you just tap the image and the Satellite Navigation system plots a route. This is great if you don’t want to have to remember street names.
Spoken Directions	Yes
Some Sat Nav systems have a range of voices that clearly speak directions to you as you approach your next waypoint. This is extremely helpful when you need to concentrate on driving, especially in busy cities or areas you are not familiar with.
Speed Camera Warning	Yes
If the Satellite Navigation device comes with speed camera warning built in it will alert you whenever you are approaching a speed camera.
Windscreen Mountable	Yes
If the Sat Nav is windscreen mountable it will come with an arm and a suction pad. Being able to mount your Satellite Navigation device on a windscreen is important as it offers greater visibility and as a result less distraction whilst you’re driving.
WiFi	No
Wifi allows you to connect your device to wireless routers or modems which allows you to connect to broadband internet.
