 TOP CLASS GADGET May 7, 2008

Well I himmed and haaaed about getting the TOM TOM Europe. Especially after reading the reviews. But I'm very pleased I did. Fortunately it arrived in time for my mammoth trip to North Holland. What can I say it worked like a dream, having previously had a bump from looking at maps whilst driving in Europe a couple of years a go - if you haven't got a map reader in the passenger seat this is even better anyway! It calculates the route - tells you how far you have to go until the next turning, also the total miles to go. You can easily recalculate the route to include an extra stop, if you're going via Ferry rather than Channel Tunnel as I was. But it really came into its own when faced with road closures. What can I say, with a simple tap it recalculated my route within seconds and I was being guided through back lanes I would not have stood a chance of navigating. I was left free to glance at all the lovely windmills whilst it gave me directions, a real treat. I was squeaking with joy at my new toy! What would have taken me an extra 2 hours ended only adding 20 minutes to my journey, thank you TOM TOM. As for all the problem speak about the Tom Tom mounting, I had trouble removing mine from the window, couldn't get it off without putting a blade end under it. I think it must be important to lick the sucker pad to create a good suction, but it was solid and firm for sure.
It also tells you where the speed cameras are surely this is cheating!? But hey pretty handy! I have plugged it into my MAC and it works fine with Leopard although I have not made a back up yet of the TOM TOM HD as suggested - I had the feeling this may take a few hours - an over night job to be left whilst I sleep. I give this bit of kit 5 stars for the price (115) I think this is invaluable. Especially as with road closures alone - that getting AA Route-finder instructions off the net cannot foresee and help you with!
Unless you do a lot of traveling with work then perhaps it's something that the whole family can share for holidays or special trips away as might be considered a luxury. However I don't know how easy my mother would find it to work but she still can't do text messages on her phone, but for me the quick start guide was enough to get me working the entire thing easily within minutes. It's very straight forward to use and not at all complicated.
Tomtom over garmin any day April 29, 2008

Having used Tomtom for several years around the continent in the form of Navigator 5 on my phone i decided to upgrade it to a standalone unit that had all of Europe on it. In France this spring we decided to hire a Garmin 350 to see how it was. I admit that Tomtom can appear to have quite a few options to it and some people find the simpler interface of the Garmin easier. Personally I found the Garmin unit very frustratingly basic and unable to do simple things that my Tomtom unit had been doing for years (advanced planning and itineraries) to let me plan multiple destination trips whilst on holiday. Sometimes i simply want to know how long it takes to get from one place to another. Garmin does not allow this easily.
The Tomtom is by no means perfect and the maps can sometimes be frustratingly out of date but mapshare seems to work well and the thousands of free updates I've received seem to have sorted some of the glitches out. I live in Edinburgh and if mapshare can navigate me around the nightmare the tramworks have caused I can only recommend it highly.
One major frustration I had with the old Navigator was the inability to install it using my Mac. That issue has disappeared now with Tomtom Home. Software that installs on both mac and PC. It starts up whenever you plug your Tomtom in to the computer and tells you what updates are available. I must admit to being very impressed.
I installed Tomtom home on my parents computer at the weekend and my father has finally been coaxed onto the computer after it being my mothers domain for 5 years. He's already updated his maps for free, bought speed camera updates and keeps phoning to let me listen to the latest voice he's installed.
If you are swithering between Tomtom and Garmin like I have for a year.. I couldn't recommend the Tomtom One highly enough.
 Tom Tom Nightmare April 29, 2008

I downloaded a US Map for my UK TomTom Go 700 about a month ago. Since then I have been trying to upload it onto the device without any success. I have liaised with TomTom support several times and after having been advised to download the 50MB software twice, remove firewalls, use different computers, etc. , all without success, I have given up. I have asked for a refund and they have simply refused to refund. My credit card company has already paid the company and won't credit the amount.
Do I have any legal recourse. Can TomTom refuse to refund once the software certificate has been issued as they claim? Surely any other product would be refundable if it does not work so why not a downloadable software? Is Tom Tom just trying to frustrate the customer so they give up on the refund?
My advice for anyone is not to download any software for TomTom. In addition, with the level of support and care they provide no one should bother buying a Tom Tom, no matter how good it is technically.
My eventual solution was to buy a Magellan device with a pre-loaded North America map which cost me US$150 (the North America map alone on TomTom was GBP50!). The Magellan worked perfectly throughout and is as good as a TomTom.

I bought Garmin for my wife but wanted to myself Tomtom thinking may be better. Garmin at the same price range is much better and lot more adjustments on the screen. Garmin maps much up to date, Excellent point of interests and Speed camera database.
Near my home there is s mobile camera point since three years but not in Tom Tom. TomTom just wants your money not service.
Mixed Bag April 24, 2008
I upgraded from Version 1.
They have removed useful things like itinerary planning and substituted things like a help facility which tells me that my nearest police station, surgery or pharmacy are in Dublin - I was in Liverpool at the time !
Lack of memory means that you have to delete maps before you can download new ones. Could be a problem downloading that size of file.
TomTom helpdesk is a waste of space.
Apart from the above it is still a good unit which does its primary job well and is good value for the money.
