Scott, Longside

+ TOMTOM map share makes this stand out from all other satnav systems. fast route finding, loads of customisable options, standard tomtom layout, compact windscreen mount, music player transmitted direc to car radio.

- As with most satnav the POI need arent very accurate, however with mapshare this problem is reducing each day by every tomtom user with mapshare updating road changes and poi locations.

Anonymous, “Female, with 2 kids. ”

+ Good sized screen, nice compact size fr carrying around, vey easy to mount in the car, nice clear instructions which can be linked to increase if the noise in the car is a problem, eg if you have kids shouting or radio on load. . I liked the advanced lane guidance this was very helpful when navigating complicated junctions.

- When using phone via bluetooth connection volume is not load enough.

Anonymous, “newbie driving on motorways”

+ Advance lane indication is a very good feature. Big screen is a bonus.

- Even though the sat nav was charging, it switched itself off. Not handy and safe when you are trying to drive on the motorway and trying to get it switched on again.

+ Ease of use Clear display. Has never got me seriously lost

- The product itself is good. However, TomTom downloads are sometimes not without problems. Sometimes tries to take me along impassable tracks

Sarawan, Taunton

+ The ease and ability to update the unit online

- Not the easiest to navigate around the menu system and not all online updates appear to register onto the TomTom. The screen suction mount is not as easy to use as my previous Navman.
