CarMad Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 As you say there isn't that much between them. I've got a tomtom so am biased but I have seen them develop more new features etc. with each new release than anyone else. To put the speed cameras on is easy peasy now as they have developed a new application that helps you out with this. On and one other thing is that you can get a traffic receiver for a one off fee that will tell you where the hold ups are and you don't need to pay a subscription.

ianncampbell Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 I have the Tomtom 510 and am really pleased with it. It's a great piece of kit. Downloads are easy via pc although I dont see many camera updates to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergy Posted October 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Thanks for the rplies guys. I went to halfrauds for a demo and to be honest the tomtom looked the dogs doodahs. Quicker to search postcodes etc. * How long do you get out of your battery * whats the Bluetooth handsfree like * How much to pay * any TSN discounts anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Don't know about the battery or the handsfree. For deals put tomtom deals into google and there is a page that has some crackers on it. I think PC world or dixons have the best deals with some voucher codes etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgera Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 I find the Tom Tom to be much better at the actual nav process than the Garmin. It gives much better routing, my wifes Garmin always seems to take strange routes, very direct, just not the most sensible. Tom Tom takes the fastest routes, and is usually very good at calculating how long it will take you, plus you can get the TMC add on for it. The hands free is good, the interface is not quite as good as the nav one, but the reading out of text messages is excellent. Just a pity mine was swiped out of my car this week - be careful. PC world is doing the 910 for under £400 if you order on line (can collect in store). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianncampbell Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 The Bluetooth works well in theory but I had a few problems with my SE K750i. The BT pairing fails to "stick" if there is any change between data/voice usage. I also found you need to use the separate microphone to be heard. I agree with Andrew Badger that the routes are great most of the time and I'm very pleased with my Go 510. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
