    I've been really impressed with my GO 520 Music Edition. It's intuitive interface, extensive list of features, and overall performance have won me over.

    For the most part, the menu system is very clear and natural. I did, however, find that a couple of the options I wanted to turn off were tucked away in obscure places, but this is a minor niggle. The menu items you will need to access regularly are right where you'd expect to find them. Connecting it up to my Sony K800i phone was a breeze, and it all worked perfectly, first time, over Bluetooth.

    The unit's performance has exceeded my expectations. The GPS locking is fast and strong (even deep inside my house), and the overall speed of calculations and the display is very impressive.

    Audio quality through the built-in speaker is not, to my ears, as clear as my old GO 300, but it's still more than up to the task. You can route the instructions and/or music through your car stereo (via an FM frequency) if you'd prefer. I haven't yet connected my iPod Touch up to the unit, but I've read that I can actually control the iPod from the GO 520's touch screen.

    As soon as I connected the GO 520 to my PC (Windows XP), the TomTom home application updated the software to the latest version, and downloaded the latest "safety" camera database. You get a latest map guarantee, that lasts for 30 days. The GO 520 sits in a desktop dock (supplied) and charges when connected to your computer.

    I can't recommend this GO 520 Music Edition enough.

    I bought my Tomtom Go 520 and was pretty impressed. Works very well and is simple to use (no need to read the instructions). Managed to connect it to my iPhone to make and receive handsfree calls albeit after a few teething troubles - for some reason the sound on my tomtom was a bit temperamental at first but that seems to have been fixed now and it works fine.
    Have linked it up to my iPod and the quality of sound is much better than I expected. Did not manage to get it to play via my FM transmitter but my radio is very old and crackly so the poor sound could be due to my radio and not the tomtom.
    Would definitely recommend and think it is good value at that price (considering you get a large screen tomtom, iPod player and handsfree kit).
    Customer services are slightly rude and unhelpful. They refused to help me when I couldn't get any sound out of my tomtom because I was trying to connect it to an "incompatible phone". Luckily the problem was resolved without them.

    TomTom 520 13 Jan 2008
    By John
    The TomTom 520 seems good value for the money. It does everything it says on the label. I have tried the voice recognition for addresses without major problems, only on a couple of occasions did it fail, although in fairness, there was a lot of background noise. Text messages are displayed or read out to you, depending on your prefference. Other speedcamera databases can be added and run alongside TomTom's own. My only criticisms are the usual lack of detail in TomToms instruction manual (on the disk), and the over speed allowed function being slow to react, (you have to be 5 mph over at least). Delivery by Amazon was on the last day of their estimate, but fifteen days is a long time compared to others and the box was damaged on arrival.
