    5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely excellent product 19 Sep 2005
    This exceptional product is easy to transfer from car to car, and with very good mapping and 3D display. Easy to use. I bought the US maps (which just slot in to replace the UK map card) as I travel there frequently, and pop it into my hire car and follow the instructions to obscure destinations like office parks and hotels I don't know. Last trip my flights from Maine were cancelled at the last minute, and I had to drive 6 hours to get to Newark airport - and my tomtom friend took me there without hesitation through multiple freeways and turnpikes. I even booked a room using the phone numbers displayed for hotels. Back home, just replace the map card and it will take me to any UK address. At the same time, it's a handsfree for my bluetooth mobile. Fantastic, and worth every penny (or cent).

    5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic product 11 July 2005
    By A Customer
    I dont normally write reviews but having read one on here entitled 'Disapointed' I felt I needed to set the record straight.

    This is a fantastic product. I have had no problem with addresses - and I do a lot of travelling around the country with work. The ability to find locations by address or postcode lookup is simple to use. The directions are clear, the turn by turn voice commands are also loud and well spoken, and the night colours mode is also an exellent idea, and make the screen colours less harsh in evening travelling.

    The major benefit of this model over the 300 is the bluetooth compatibility - setting up my phone to sync with the unit was suprisingly simple, it imported my phone book in moments and has allowed for excellent hands free calling.

    I really cant recommend this product enough!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Motoring revelation arrives 20 July 2005
    By A Customer
    A brilliant product that really takes the hassle out of route-finding to fresh or linfrequently used destinations, however, living and travelling in rural locations can be a hassle when driving with wide vehicles and trailers. My suggested improvement would be a setting on Tomtom to keep to more major roads as an option for finding an easy route. This apart, it would have scored 5 stars. I just love it, and so will people who are nervous about travelling to new or little known destinations. I showed mine to my brother and had difficulty getting it back off him. Say no more...!

    I think some of the bad reviews are being a bit harsh. Remember SAT NAV is just a map like any other map, albeit electronic. Read more
