TomTom Start2 Sat-Nav

TomTom Start2 review

 

TomTom's entry level sat nav gets premium features

TomTom - Start 2

 

TomTom's entry-level Start sat-nav first appeared during the second half of 2009, and the new Start 2 keeps the same physical design but brings some welcome additions to the still rather basic feature set. While expensive ...

It may be an entry-level sat-nav in terms of features, although at this price it's definitely not a budget choice. But those who want a simple product for no-fuss navigation will find it fits the bill perfectly, and the new features make it even more...

TomTom Start² UK

 

Would have been all good, if I didn't have to buy another charger!

In-car charger stopped working after 3 journeys and we had to buy another as we weren't near home!
