      TomTom Go 500

      Review summary: The last in the set for us to test and this time a 8 week long term test shows all is not well with this TomTom unit, we give it a real workout and find out where it's great and where it's sadly lacking.

    Tom Tom Go 500

    TomTom GO 500 By Anonymous (24/11/2006)
    • Pros: Easy to use. A little slow to warm up.
    • Cons: There are too many mistakes on the maps.

    The typical mistakes on the maps and the worst is when the motorway slpits into 3 separate roads. This is the time NOT to use your Tom Tom! You can cause an accident. Read Full Review »

    TomTom Sat Nav GO 500

    TomTom GO 500 By Terry Dowd (01/09/2006)
    • Pros: Very accurate and very easy to use, works straight out of box
    • Cons: Not so sure about support - web site confusing

    If you can get a demo on one of these before you buy you will see how easy and moreover how accurate the system is.

I did find it a bit annoying having to remove the holder from the screen each time... Read Full Review »
