TomTom Start 25 5" Sat Nav with Europe Maps (45 countries) Reviews
| 417 of 428 people found the following review helpful  Yeah, like it a lot.., By This review is from: TomTom Start 20 4.3" Sat Nav with UK and Ireland Maps (Electronics) 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...

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...

So I switched it on, had a play and it seemed basic but functional. Then I plug it in to update the map and since then it's just not worked.Firstly, you can't back up your old map so if you install a new map it deletes your old one first before downloading your new one. Consequently if you're download doesn't work then you've a satnav with no maps or a brick. I've been onto Tomtom about it but as with most IT companies they ask you what system you're using, Pc or Mac, what browser, wireless, wired..? Personally if the unit is going to be that picky about how it gets it's data then it's just not worth the effort. My grievance isn't with the unit but the way it's 'updated' or destroyed as in my case. I wouldn't buy another Tomtom if it had to be accessed by Mytomtom... Read more |
