 Absolutely Spot On! July 18, 2008

Been meaning to get a "proper" satnav for ages as I only have one on my Nokia N95.
Some gadgets are complicated to use and some are easy to use, this tomtom is in a category all on it's own: easypeasylemonsqueezy.
I turned the unit on and got a GPS signal within 20 seconds - I was inside too - I followed the simple on screen instructions and was planning a trip to the local supermarket within seconds. It was brilliant!
This version comes with the case, which is a great addition as it keeps your tomtom nice and snug and protected.
An absolute must buy!

If you, like me, are cursed with absolutely no sense of direction or, worse still, the conviction that setting off 180 degrees to the destination simply feels right, then this is the tool for you. Stuck to your windscreen, and quickly removed to slip into its travelling case to avoid theft, it displays:
- the road ahead (green)
- approaching junctions (blue) with an arrow head when the you've reached the correct exit or turn-off
- total mileage remaining
- estimated time of arrival (and also current time)
- your speed and the speed you could/should be doing - your own speed is shown in red if you exceed the limit
- approaching speed cameras (with audio alert)
- other landmarks - railway lines, rivers, lakes, petrol stations etc.
Best of all is the bottom left hand corner when it shows you how long you have before you next have to think about anything. Obviously in town this is frequently, but on a longer journey, it can invite you to relax and enjoy the trip for the next 80 miles or so.
If you use the voice feature, which has adjustable volume and accents, you'll hear a warning before being talked through the manoeuvre e.g. "in 300 yards, cross the roundabout - take the 2nd exit...................cross the roundabout, take the second exit."
USB connection to your PC allows you to update maps.
I talked myself into buying this quite easily on the grounds that, at today's petrol prices, it wouldn't take too many avoided wrong turns for the Tom Tom to have paid for itself. There are also possible savings in avoided speeding fines, given that our beloved guardians are in the habit of placing cameras behind trees in locations where gravity causes us unintentionally to pelt downhill. The speed camera alarm not only flags up every camera but a reminder of the limit for those find themselves suddenly uncertain.
On a recent holiday in the North York Moors, I was impressed that the tiniest little tracks were known to the system, allowing one to be a little more reckless in exploring.
What's fun in the early stages is to defy its advice and see how quickly it can rectify the situation - roadworks etc. make this feature indispensable! My own favourite test is to visit the local skateboard park, hit the loop-the-loop and see if the Tom Tom can recalculate the route before the car roof is once again facing the heavens.

I am a complete novice with any kind of new technology and find the instructions that come with most gadgets almost impossible to fathom i.e. the working of bluetooth the camera on my phone etc.but with the tomtom explore I was up and running in minutes and was able one week later to drive directly to my hotel in blackpool even though it was my first trip there.
 Very good indeed July 7, 2008

Trawled through loads of reviews before settling on this one, I was thinking more expensive would be best but the over 200 navs all have such mixed reviews I decided to try my luck with one that didn't have any. I'd borrowed a Garmin previously so when I got my tom tom out of the box and saw the screen size is smaller I was a bit worried but I've used it loads and it hasn't been a problem at all. Also the Garmin I'd borrowed took ages to lock onto the satellites but my TT has always locked on immediately so really pleased. I havn't tried out the places of interest options but I did have fun testing all the different accents you can choose! I have to say over all I'm really pleased, I think I made the right choice and the price isn't bad either. It comes with a little box for the screen but it's not big enough for the wire, and sucker wotsit so i've marked it down for that.
Goodjob November 24, 2008

I HAVE HAD THIS SATNAV FOR ALMOST A YR NOW. THIS SATNAV IS GREAT AND DOES EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS. TAKES FULL POSTCODES AND AS I TRAVEL AROUND ALOT IN WORK TO LOTS OF DIFFERENT TOWNS I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A GOOD LITTLE HELPER. ITS SMALL AND TIDY AND HAS EXCELLENT SCREEN COLOUR, GOOD POINTS OF INTEREST AND IS EXCELLENT FOR LETTING ME KNOW WHEN THERE IS PARKING NEAR BY.
MINOR GRUMBLES:- THE SATNAV HAS TRIED TO SEND ME DOWN A ONE WAY STREET ON 2 OCCATIONS AND HAS A HABIT OF TRYING TO SEND YOU UP TINY COUNTRY ROADS AS IT IS THE FASTEST ROUTE (ALSO THE SCARIEST ROUTE IF YOUR ALONE IN THE CAR DRIVING OVER THE FIELDS...PRAYING YOU DONT GET A FLAT).
APART FROM THAT THIS SAT NAV IS GREAT AND I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANYBODY ASKING.
ITS LIKE HAVING A PAL IN THE CAR WITH YOU HELPING YOU OUT. THIS SAT NAV HAS GOT ME THROUGH SOME COMPLICATED ROAD SYSTEMS AND I WONT EVEN TELL YOU ABOUT THE TOWN THAT BROUGHT TO MIND 'THE WICKER MAN'...GLAD I HAD THE SAT NAV THAT DAY.
SO YES I RECOMMEND BUYING THIS PRODUCT.
