    I had a Tomtom One for many years which eventually gave up the ghost. I decided to upgrade to a later model, and although I have not yet made much use of it I’m well satisfied with what I’ve seen. Everything is more advanced, and the new model is far more responsive. Well pleased so far.

    After reading the reviews on here I almost didn’t buy it. But I had a faulty ‘refurbished’ one from another source and I had tested its route finding in London and it did use the main roads sensibly (unlike the Garmin I tried out). I found it a good. basic Sat Nav that quickly re-calculated when I chose to go by another route. Address finding isn’t perfect as my Aunt’s postcode wasn’t found but I could enter the full address.

    Excellent model and works well. Highly recommended.
    No real issues except there seems to be a limited colour of Themes. Tried to emulate the older models by using a bright red colour arrow to indicate road and direction, but nearest colour was pink which did not look good so had to use the blue colour. Just a small point.

    I haven’t really had any major problems with this satnav and find it easy to use. I don’t really look at the visual display whilst driving so can’t comment on that but the voice commands are very clear and precise. I’ve had the occasional problem when the system stopped working but this was in remote areas and I think it was due to poor signal strength.

    I have had a TomTom for many years so when I typed in an address, on my new Tom Tom in London, Stillness Road it came up as SE4 not SE23 which is correct I was amazed. My wife lived at this address for 35 years before we moved down to East Sussex 20 years ago, and her son still lives there so we are certain of the correct post code

    The touch screen responds like a snail on valium, which is annoying when you have a series of deliveries to make in the London rush hour. Other than that, it rates as ok.

    I had a site visit to a customer site, in the middle of farmland and with this satnav I got to the destination. Colour maps are detailed and road directions are quickly announced. Speed camera beeps sound well before speed camaera arrives to warn you in good time to slow down. Cannot fault this device.

There are a few errors but you get that with just about every Satnav! Screen is clear to see but there is a very slight lag setting up pre recorded routes. Occasionally the volume mutes itself. Overall a good quality device at a reasonable price

Also finding routes with petrol stops is very handy and the free few months of speed camera checks is also helpful

    Golden Review Award: 9 From Our UsersThis superb navigation instrument recently replaced my ageing TomTom ONE XL, of fond memory!
    The increased screen size makes programming and setting up significantly easier whilst the larger display and crystal clear diction (including spoken street names) are a distinct improvement.
    Altogether a vastly superior Sat Nav System when compared to those built into other cars operated within this family!
