TomTom sat nav
Was thinking of getting a tomtom one for christmas. Just wondered if anyone has one, and what they think of it. Also, is there anywhere you can download free speed camera locations? cheers

i think all of the have there faults so you couldn't really say which is best, people will probably say tomtom etc as they more widely owned/known

road angel navigator is shit,too much money for too little,no traffic service,poor mapping,slow loading.
tom tom and garmin are the leading products with navman close behind
garmin offer a lot of extras however,i.e. free traffic info preloaded speed cameras
tom tom do one gb and europe but europe is major roads only
only problems i ever have with tom toms is a lot freeze once but then reset them and they never do again

tom toms don't work so well in London.
Half the time in the city it can't work out where you are

I got a tomtom, and the speed camera locations were already on it and the updates are free! I'd go with a tomtom!

Iv got a tom tom one its absolutely great. Since ive had it iv been all over the country and its never failed. You can download the cameras off a site for about £1-2 and it is really easy to do! I would recommend tom tom as they are easily best at the haulage firm i work at every one a good 100 drivers own tom tom.
Hope this helps Ben

alot of websites are offering free speed camera's and traffic updates if you sign up to there website (which is free) so this way you can get the free speed cameras and traffic updates without paying more £££.
i have a link to one of these websites.. ill dig it out later.

I've recently bought a TomTom GO 710 due to traveling (inc. europe), so far all I can say about it is that it's great, good time saver in most cases and what not I wasn't really bothered about having one before but since I got it I can't be without it for long  .
