5.0 out of 5 stars
A must have stress buster for every driver!,

This review is from: TomTom GO 300 In Car GPS Satellite Navigation With UK Mapping & Bluetooth (Electronics)
This product is amazing. I have recently changed jobs and now drive around the country. For the first 2 weeks I used paper directions from the AA that were spot on but I often got lost and frustrated just trying to drive and read them at the same time. For the last 3 weeks I have had a Tomtom go 300 and it is fantastic! It has never failed to take me door to door and I have to smile everytime I reach my destination because I cannot believe it's accuracy. I now drive to places I have never been before without any thought of getting lost, there is no stress and I cannot imagine being without one.The screen is clear, I have positioned it in the right corner near the front door pillar, the suction mount is very secure though I have placed it low enough so it sits on the dashboard - this has removed slight vibration, and have not suffered any reflections on the screen. The directions are simple to enter, I just use the full postcode option - I can't see how it could be easier? the touchscreen is excellent to use but there is little need once your are driving. the voice commands are very clear and can be very loud - I have reduced mine to 80%. the voice commands are also pleasant to hear and do not sound patronising as a friends in-built sat nav does. It took me ages to decide which to buy (as it always does with me) and I looked at many models and read many reviews - Garmin C320 Streetpilot (which is very similar), Magellan Roadmate, Navman 510, etc. A great benefit over most models is that it will last 5 hours on battery so you dont have to have cables around, this also makes programming in new destinations easier as I dont have to plug it in at home to do so. the Garmin comes very close but I prefered the look of the Tomtom. If you think you need one I recommend Tomtom, there are more expensive versions, 500 & 700, but if you only expect to drive in the UK and dont want to use it as a handsfree phone then I would save your money and get the Go 300.

This review is from: TomTom GO 300 In Car GPS Satellite Navigation With UK Mapping & Bluetooth (Electronics)
I bought TomTom's GO 300 SatNav system because it received the best reviews over other makes for the price - and I haven't been disappointed. My wife and I travel separately around the country on business and she in particular was always getting lost and then becoming stressed out in case she was late for her appointments.When it was delivered and she found out how much it cost she wasn't best pleased - but she is now. After one particularly complicated journey to Tulse Hill in south London she phoned me and without any preamble exclaimed, "I LOVE this TomTom! It took me straight to the house I needed to visit." You need to take your time in complicated situations where the road network has lots of turnings - if only to make sure you take the right one - but between the voice directions and the scrolling on-screen map you'd need to be an impatient idiot to get lost. And even then it'll immediately work out an alternative route and get you back on the right road. Whether you need to find a place in the middle of nowhere or a crowded city centre, this is the gadget for you.

Bluetooth compatibility!,
This review is from: TomTom GO 300 In Car GPS Satellite Navigation With UK Mapping & Bluetooth (Electronics)
The Tom Tom Go units are brilliant, but bear this in mind - You will be keeping the Tom Tom for many years but you will be most likely to upgrade your mobile phone. My wife & I have a Go 700 and a Go 500 and have both upgraded from Motorola V3 to V3i and this new model will not link to the TomTom units. I also tried a V3x and a Samsung D600 with the same results. TomTom support say that the phones will only work with the ones listed on their website, which will all become obsolete. Save money - get a non-phone compatible TomTom Go300 and use a bluetooth headset.
