+ Very enjoyable to use and easy to set up. I like the way that is quickly finds a nrew route if you dont take the suggested one. Overall I find it excellent. And the downloads from the internet work too.

- One minor irritation is the the fact that instructions at junctions and roundabouts are often repeated three times.............twice would be enough.

Mandy, Watton, Thetford

+ Although we know how to get to most destinations, it is very accurate and time saving with the tricky small roads and saves lots of time and stress. Love the big screen and the irish accents preloaded, they're fun. Bought a home charger from Amazon and a case (saved lots rather than using Tom Tom site) so all set up, great item.

- Have to sometimes search for alternative routes as I know there are shorter ways to get somewhere and the Tom Tom can sometimes try to send you the long way round using motorways.
