TomTom GO 300

When we first reviewed the TomTom GO in October of 2004, we were extremely impressed by its handling and 3D navigation view.

Antiglare touch screen; 1GB SD card; very portable, and practical even for pedestrian use.

Would like to see text-to-speech technology integrated into vocalized directions.

Though we like this feature on the GO, the current crop of Garmins goes one better and automatically defaults to the state you are in. After all, these devices know your location, and it is more likely that you'll be headed to a city in your state or...

TomTom Go 700 review

The Go 700 is TomTom's first hard-drive-based GPS system and its natty casing is home to 2.5GB of storage, which pays dividends when abroad, since there's no cumbersome loading of European maps on the ferry. This comparatively large memory has the...

TomTomGo 700

The Go 700 is TomTom's first hard-drive-based GPS system and its natty casing is home to 2.5GB of storage, but is it up to the challenge of Britain's congested roads?

Hard-drive-based GPS with 2.5GB storage. Mapping for entire European road network. Bluetooth connectivity.

Guidance through one-way systems a bit hit and miss. Traffic alerts glitchy. Remote and touchscreen approaching overkill.

TomTom Works good BUT...

All in all, it's a nice little unit. I would not hesitate in recommending it to anyone.

The negatives are ; 1 - some streets that are 3 years old are missing, others show them leading into the wrong entrance (for example, my street is not accessible from the major roads without hitting other streets 1st but the TomTom tells me to turn...
