 Want the latest SatNav? Here's how to get it for a fiver December 1, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
Christmas is coming so save your cash! Why purchase something you can get for a fiver.
Go to Satnavs.co.cc and sign up. Complete ONE offer - I would recommend Gala Bingo (you know, the one Sharon Osborne advertises for on tv),as this is cheap and fun (and you might win some money in the process!)
If you really don't want to spend, there is a free Lovefilm trial.
All companies are well known so there is no risk involved- give it a go! I got my SatNav, Wii and many other things this way, so don't miss out.
I was a sceptic once but now I am SO glad I gave it a chance. B8C approved this system on their Newsnight programme a while back.
Many items to choose from and they send your gift Free of charge.
SREEN HOLDER/CHARGER IS INCLUDED!!! December 1, 2008
Can't believe I'm the only one to be miss advised by Amazon and influenced into buying a windscreen holder and 12v charger when they are already included with unit in box!?! Don't be fooled by the 'buy together' offer!!! Thanks Amazon.....Twerps!!! Otherwise happy!
Bar Humbug!
P.s Dearest Joyce, you may drive to the speed limits but you are responsible for safty whilst driving at 70mph on the M5! DON'T PLAY WITH THE NAV!...WATCH FOR THE BUMPS AND PULL OVER DEAR!!....Der!!!!
Excellent - but you still need a brain, you know. November 20, 2008

We've been using Tom Tom for years on a PDA. We recently bought the Tom Tom XL UK for my mother (age young 75) and she can use it easily, the screen is big and clear and the controls are easy to understand.
Yes there are occasional map errors but just so long as you haven't given up using your brain altogether then these aren't usually a problem. We programmed it with the address of a new Ikea. When we came off the motorway junction there was a big Ikea sign pointing right but the sat nav said left - my husband turned left (I kept my mouth shut for once) and we came across a street that had been made one way after the store was built! Also just be a little extra careful if you tow a caravan or drive a lorry it may very occasionally send you down a short cut that isn't suitable (very rare though!).
The thing I always say is that it's like a much better version of a map (which you can't read whilst driving anyway) - but you still should try and have an overview of your journey and keep a eye on road signs - it's not like putting the car or your brain on automatic pilot.
I find it particularly useful when I have to go to meetings in unfamiliar places. Sometimes in city centres it isn't always easy to work out which lane you should be in but it does help. The best thing is that you are confident that even if you do take a wrong turn it will recalculate the route and get you back on track in no time.
I particularly like the estimated time of arrival which I find very accurate. It takes away the panic and urge to drive fast if you have been held up as I usually find I am still going to make it in time anyway - alternatively I can ring ahead (pulling over first of course) and give them a pretty good estimate of my arrival time.
I also love the speed and limit indication. I'm particular about not breaking the limit but sometimes in unfamiliar areas it's hard to know what the limit is. I think this technology should be standard on all cars with a warning when we go above the limit because I believe many people who speed don't do so intentionally.
I also really like the Tom Tom from a passenger's point of view. If he gets it wrong my husband now shouts at the Tom Tom not me! ;o)
I've got the XL Europe on my wish list for Christmas as I'm fed up of borrowing everyone elses.
Good Value. November 20, 2008

This item is Good value when there are so many sat-navs out there at the moment, it has clear and understandable turn on and go touch screen instructions. All most fool proof. Be aware though Amazon tries to get you to buy a windscreen fitting and car charger seperately and it all ready has one in the box.
Well pleased November 19, 2008

Bought this for my partner,found it very easy to use for a beginner,
I borrowed it to go with friends, from Devon to Bury St Edmunds,although it wouldn't take us via the M5/M42 it was easy enough to do 2 route plans & it took us there easy.
Nice to have the warning when speeding & the camera alerts also nice to have choice of male/female voices.
