tomtom go 720 |
clear display, route correction, anti glare, speaker is clear, handsfree is great, mp3 is fine, loads of features, customisable, no software problems so far |
no mapshare here in oz, no manual, maps are not that great, poor support, gps is complicated, |

TomTom GO 720 |
Easy menu, lots of functions, great gadget! |
Hard to change volume quickly (no button on main screen), in European version map covering eastern parts of Europe also (Hungary, Czech Republic,...) has to be bought seperately. |

TomTom One XL |
Great unit. Easy menu navigation. Wide easy view screen. 5hr battery. 2yr warranty. Heaps of HD space for POI. Bluetooth connectivity. PIN security lockable. |
Very bulky device. Takes up a lot of valuable real estate on my windscreen. |

Tomtom One V3 |
Worked great straight out of the box, fast connecting time & route calculation, Safety cam alerts & to my surprise & delight, speed limit warnings. This is the 2nd GPS Ive used the other was just OK & barely on a par with a street directory, the Tomtom is GREAT, it picks the routes I would choose 1st time, dynamic recalculation is quick, the Aussie voice & volume are great, the computer interface is easy to setup & use. Im a big fan. (Jan 2008) |
Only 7 MB of storage free. By the time you ad some POIs & favorites it will be down to 3 MB. Cant see any way to upgrade.
Power socket on the bottom - cant stand it in my instrument panel as Ive done with others.
Maps - has Sensis V13 V14 not avail yet & will cost - some competitors already have v14 out of the box.
Website leaves you in little doubt that Australia is not an important part of their business.
Map Share & some other features NOT Available in Aus. |

Generally, accuracy is very good, POIs very good also. |
Support over the Internet through the website is very poor. I had an inquiry which took 6 weeks to respond to. |

TomTom ONE XL |
Easy to use.
Will get you where you want to go (eventually). |
Maps and route instructions are not very accurate. Map corrections are not possible. Maps are out of date and no updates are available. Route instructions are not very good ie what lane to be in for a turn, and keep left and keep right instructions are confusing. Alot of work is need on this device. |

The device is very convenient and handy when you are not familiar with the roads. |
The original holder of the device is not convenient as you will need to take out the device together with the holder if you need to keep the device. |

TomTom GO ONE AUSTRALIA |
the tom tom one australian version appears to work well and compares well with the other brands.backing up the device is easy and straightforward.the memory card to use is the sandisk brand as per instructions from tom tom. |
it can be misleading and losses its location in the ranges and country areas. |

I have found the tomtom one new edition very good and capable also lightweight to carry around if needed to easily fits into a pocket makes travelling through unknown places a breeze a must have |
