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 |

User friendly, multi-purpose and quick enough to determine or recalculate the route. |
Screen too small, a little bit slow to detect the first GPS signal. |

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 |

Allow shortlist or screen of 10 favourite POIs, get fed up of searching list.
No external microphone support when hooking phone up via bluetooth
Option to leave POI warning sound on even when switching off spoken instructions |

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... |

Generally all round a good choice |
Very poor blutooth, can not work with my Palm 750vand drops connection etc.
Can not transfer the address telephone book
Complained to TOMTOM whos just said tough we do not support Palm. I thought blutooth was bluetooth.
Also cannot choose street first and then suburb. Again TT said tough so if this is important buy something else |

I am talking about the TomTom x20 models=x30 models. Very good and handy. Good quality! LINUX system! Very good customable. European product (dutch)- design. |
Not perfect connectivity with the Mac (08/2008), but OK. Lousy manual. Very bad documentation for skilled and advanced user. Made in China |

TomTom Navigator on Treo 650 PDA |
Lives on SD card that slips into PDA and in your pocket so good for all means of transport. Bluetooth connection to tiny GPS unit works well.Runs for about 4 hours without need for external power. Voice is perfectly clear.
|
En route map scale driven by software and resets users realtime preference. PDA glass is reflective so in bright sun need either to put a hood round the screen or tuck it under the shade of the dashboard or instrument cluster. UK Maps as with all TeleSat are not upto date. Major 20 year old road changes are missing. En route you need nimble fingers and smooth road to adjust/reset/rescale. Voice activation would solve this and this exists for the phone. Is there a link? |

New machine, seems very good so far.
Love the FM transmitter that allows you to listen to mp3s and phone calls through the car stereo. Being able to record and download voices for a bit of variety is useful, as is the ability to correct maps and upload/download corrections through mapshare. Spot on with timing for turns, seemless calculation of a new route if a turn is missed.
Being able to verbally enter an address is also handy though sometimes the recognition is a bit hit and miss. |
With the fm trasmitter, mp3 player and hands free phone setup, its a pity they didnt also build in an fm receiver to listen to the radio whilst utilising the car stereo for the device.
I was dissapointed some services appear not to be provided to Australia such as saftey cameras and traffic.
With POI warnings, it would also be great if you could click on the POI icon when it appears on the screen to get more information ie, name of a tourist attraction. |
