    5.0 out of 5 stars Start well with Tom Tom, 9 Sep 2011
    This review is from: TomTom Start 25 5" Sat Nav with Europe Maps (45 countries) (Electronics)
    Bought for my wife who is technophobic! This Tom Tom is intuitive and very easy to use and my wife has operated it without difficulty over 1500 miles in France this summer without having to look at an instruction manual. She does not use motorways or the major national routes and the Tom Tom has navigated her perfectly through the minor scenic routes that she prefers. It has several features that are excellent, the screen rotates so that the image and instructions are always the right way up, voice prompts are unambiguaous and detailed and the screem itself is very clear. The power cable is good with a usb charger built in and the same cable can be used to connect to your PC for updating maps and speed camera locations. A good product that works well.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Yeah, like it a lot.., 21 Jun 2011
    By 
    I've been somewhat cynical in the past about owning one preferring to stick with a paper map. I thought I should get with the times and having seen a more expensive unit when a friend came around for the weekend, I decided to opt for an entry level device. The price for this Tom-Tom did not seem overly expensive.

    In the box is:

    the Sat Nav itself
    a car charger lead [which joins to...]
    a USB cable [which joins the unit itself to the charger]
    a paper quick start guide

    This Sat Nav can sit on a dashboard beanbag [purchased separately] if you decide to go for this. It uses a sucker which with a simple twist locks the seal. Alternatively it will attach itself to the inside of the windscreen using the same method. Out of the box and into the car then, the Sat Nav found my home position quickly after powering it up. I set this and I was up and running in five minutes tops.

    The first thing to do is to find your destination and you can... Read more

    4.0 out of 5 stars TomTom Start 25, 16 July 2011
    I bought the Start 25 EU as a replacement for a 3 year old Garmin 255W, which died on me soon after a map update. Was initially tempted by the XXL as the price of those have come down now TomTom has updated their range. However the XXL has only 2GB worth of memory and therefore any updates to the European maps will not fit (so one has to choose what part of Europe one wants to install- not great if you want to go to Italy e.g.).
    The good:
    - The Start 25 EU has 4GB memory.
    - Excellent screen. Great detail, which gives you a good idea of the road system around where you are travelling. In case you want to
    get off your choosen route e.g when motorway signs tell you there are delays up ahead.
    - Also better size: 5 inches is easier to see especially when mounted further away on the windscreen
    - '3D' view is excellent.
    - There are many ways you can adapt the screen and alerts to your own taste. E.g. how the map looks, how many instructions you want... Read more
