TOMTOM Go 930 |
nice wide screen |
don't get this, save your money and get the 730, the only difference in this to the 730 is you get the maps for america, europe and nz, the other feature about workng in tunnels to get better reception DOESN'T WORK |

TomTom XL |
I have a TomTom XL. This is the first GPS device I have ever used and once you get over the initial lack of trust in technology, I t has navigated me through capital cities, country roads and small towns with equal ease.
|
Because the screen is small the maps seem to be overly cluttered and the positioning of locations can get a little tricky. |

TomTom Go 930 |
Performs excellently after a steep learning curve. |
I missed many turns because of turning too soon. Its the difference between European and US methods. Unless youre comfortable with turn right in 750 yds, then just drive the car and have a buddy use the GPS. |

Tomtom Go 950 Live |
Only had a few days.
At the moment I am impressed. I upgrades from a Go 710. |
Live makes checks every 3 minutes. During these checks it seems to miss safety cameras if you pass one at this time.

eten X800i / TomTom |
All in one device (GPS, Phone, PDA, camera) |
Not too good quality. As a GPS works fine, the phone and the camera are... not reliable. And as a PDA it has some tendency to eat memory. |

TomTom 740, Garmin 1690 & Magellan 3100 |
740 Live - IQ Routes
Garmin 1690 - 2YR data plan included; MRC for data services is to be lower than TomTom Live services |
740 Live does not announce on which side of street destination is; it shows it visvually via an arrow.
740 Live sometimes will reboot while in use. Slow to recalculate route. |

TomTom One v3 30 |
Good portable unit, with clear spoken directions.
Good strong signal reception. |
Lack of waypoints or Itinerary planner is a real minus. Only having the ability to go from A to B not A to B via C does not allow you to select route or plan a trip. This outweighs its strengths. |

TomTom XL Europe |
- Reasonably fast route calculation but still could do with a faster chip/program
- The widescreen did it for me when I selected this unit |
- Battery life is dismal
- The dashboard stand is weak and at times means the device will fall off the windscreen |

Everything you need in a car in one package. SatNav, mp3 player, audiobook player, handsfree for mobile and with extra software an mp4 player too |
Playing music can slow down timing of direction instructions.
Having a 20gb harddrive makes it Bulky
It can take an age to get a fix |

Very user friendly, accurate routing, useful extra features via LIVE services. Traffic is good because it uses GPRS connection rather than TMC. |
Subscription to LIVE services is expensive |

TomTom Go 930 |
I love my TomTom and take it everywhere. I love the colours, the responsiveness, and the amazing job it does getting me to where I need to go with no hassles. It is very intuitive when I need to change the route. I love that it syncs with the FM radio so I can hear it, if I use the sound option. |
It does not interface with my Blackberry World Edition. So, I am not able to use the hands-free calling feature, or other features that work through a cell phone. Im really sad about that-have contacted Blackberry, but... |
