Zetec Andy

Rhys

Tom Tom all day long mate!

Zetec Andy

Most of the Tomtom range has been reduced in the past few days, see this link below and use the codes to get further reductions, the reductions arent valid for collect at store, only home delivery.....

I got my tomtom one V2 this morning

To be honest, i prefer the Garmin, my step-dad has one in his BMW, and its great, i much prefer it, i love being able to chose different cars that it shows on the map. We constantly update it with new albums off the computer to it. I think it's awesome. I dont like tom tom's because they tend to cock up every now and again. I work with a bunch of engineers that all have them in their vans and constantly ending up on other roads although the postcodes are all correct. Rob also had problems with his one when he had it, for the same reason

tomtom allday long im a courier and i use the old shape tomtom 500 gutted new shape came out a week later was wounded but thats life i use mine everyday with no complaints

Zetec Andy

Im a driver for Hertz and used my Garmin i3 every day, dont get me wrong garmin are good units, i just got sick of the limited options it gave me, the tomtom is perfect.

Rs_Dave

decision's, decision's they both sound as good as each other. each to their own make.

wots gonna make me stay with the garmin is the lifetime traffic information, but once ive opend the box im stuck with it so i want to make the rite decision as its at the top end of the market so not cheap

Zetec Andy

Personally id go TomTom 910, mainly for the bluetooth feature, make and recieve calls via the tomtom etc.

Rs_Dave

the garmin has this feature

Zetec Andy

Still tomtom all the way for me mate lol.

iv had both and decided to stay with tomtom

cossiecrew

my old shape tomtom500 has that feature

Zetec Andy

Yeah i fancied that feature but with delivering cars im in and out of different vehicles all day so i wanted something compact and light i could just throw in my bag, TomTom one v2 fitted the bill perfectly

dave green

Been looking at Dixons online at the TomTom 510 traffic edition,

Has anyone got this ??

Is this model any better than just the tomtom one ?

Rhys

a lot of the new models have blue tooth on Tom Tom.



Any pain thing is you have to be careful with people knicking them I used to use mine all the time mainly for handsfree calling. but urgh does my head in thinking some scrot has knicked it everytime i been back to the car even though i taken it of the windscreen.

Rhys

Jon imo dont go for Tom Tom one!!


get the 510 i got this and it hasnt let me down yet.

cos jon

They have the 510 for Ł234 which doesn't seem to bad, and its looks like there is a 50 euro per year charge for the traffic and speed camara updates (which i assume is normal ??)

S1sam

Ive got a tomtom one and its brill

you can download the speed cameras here for a couple of quid

www.PocketGPSWorld.com.

cos jon

If you use the site above does that invalidate the warranty on the tom tom ??

I'm often getting stuck on the route home form work so something with an auto reroute due to accidents would be good (which it appears that the 510 has got). I assume the tomtom one doesn't have this ??

Rs_Dave

tomtom traffic subscription is either a 1 off payment of Ł100 for lifetime, also includes areial, or its Ł50 per year + ur mobile charges (as it get information from wap service)

Zetec Andy

DO NOT get tomtoms own speed camera database, i paid Ł20 yesterday to add it to mine for 12 months, after installing it the unit would not turn on! thanks tomtom

Im now on my second unit in 2 days and trying to get my Ł20 back! wheres my garmin

COMEDY DAN

This happened to my cousin, what a drain.........

jason_nike

I`ve got Garmin 510 deluxe, it does the obvious directions, also has speed cameras (fixed and mobile) and traffic information too, halfords had it for Ł199, thiught not a bad price as it had Ł50 off

stuy

i have a tom tom 910 and ahave used other sat navs and nothing comes close to the tom tom 910 the hard drive on it gives unlimited capabilitys still finding them out now you can set it to actully speak (realtime) to you with place names other than turn left!! tom tom all the way the 910 is the only one with the hard drive and no memory card

Rs_Dave

i took my garmin 310D back and swaped it 4 a tomtom 910

i definatialy made the ritght choice in swaping

the tomtom 910 is very good and the navman n40i with navpix is very good

Zetec Andy

Id go for the 910 myself but i need a compact unit to go in bag at work, good choice though
