TomTom Via 135

 

TomTom's Via 135 launches the company's surprisingly effective Speak & Go voice control system.

Very effective voice control, Clear 5in screen with good viewing angles, Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity

No voice entry of post codes, No live services

TomTom VIA 135 review

 

An affordable entry into TomTom navigation? That'll be the TomTom VIA 135.

Low ; low price ; TomTom's maps and routes ; Five-inch proportions

Resistive touch tech ; Short on features ; No connected features

TomTom Via 135 review

 

Is this the right time for voice-controlled sat navs?

Great map technology ; Clear voice navigation ; Compact unit and mount

Inconsistent voice recognition ; Hardly hands-free ; Only covers UK and Ireland

Voice recognition is a technological dream that we all feel our devices should be capable of - even our sat navs. Are we ready for our in-car companions to listen to us while we're out and about?

windscreen mount is awful

  (Rating Hidden)

this is my second tom tom and frankly cannot fault the unit as a sat nav. However, the windscreen mount is truly awful. It is so fiddly and awkward to fix, worst of all, no matter how careful I am with the fixing, it endlessly falls off the windscreen,...

I have owned this model for a year or more now, on the plus side it has a nice bright screen, the maps themselves are accurate almost all of the time and the overall the spoken instructions given are good. What more could you want from a satnav? Well,...

Poor sound and lane guidance

I bought a Via 135 M Special Edition from Halfords to replace the One series I had used happily for a number of years. I am very disappointed by the inferior sound quality compared with my One version, it is of a very narrow mid to high frequency, and...

Great when it works. Sadly, my unit doesn't work very often. It will refuse to switch-on for no apparent reason, even though the battery is fully charged. TomTom acknowledge that it has a fault and want €105.00 to repair it, but will not say what the...
