    5.0 out of 5 stars Yeah, like it a lot.., 21 Jun 2011
    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

    1.0 out of 5 stars Problems Start When You Try To Update, 28 Sep 2011

    This review is from: TomTom Start 20 4.3" Sat Nav with Europe Maps (45 Countries) (Electronics)
    I bought this to replace my Tomtom GO520 which was a great but maps are expensive to update so I decided to just get a more modern satnav with Tomtom's 'latest map guarantee'. 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

    4.0 out of 5 stars TomTom Start 25, 16 July 2011
    This review is from: TomTom Start 20 4.3" Sat Nav with Europe Maps (45 Countries) (Electronics)
    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

    5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Sat Nav, 6 Jun 2012

    This review is from: TomTom Start 60 6" Sat Nav with Full Europe Maps (45 Countries) (Electronics)
    I purchased the TT Start 60 from Halfords a few days ago and am mightily impressed by it. The 6 inch screen display is stunning and displays all the information you could wish for, while driving, very clearly. Speed camera information even includes those sites that are often used by mobile camera units. A fixed speed camera position that was shut down a few weeks ago is not registered on the sat nav so it suggests the information is pretty well up to date. Perhaps this reflects the value of the TomTom community that supplies update info to TT, which is verified and then made freely available via downloads to owners. Rather than extoll all the virtues of this remarkable sat nav I suggest a read of the cnet review could settle any questions you may have regarding which sat nav you should buy. Having registerd the Start 60 with TomTom I am well on the way to getting a promotional offer of �20 cash back thus making this an even better value for money purchase. Why did I buy from...

    5.0 out of 5 stars Best yet, 2 Jun 2012
    This review is from: TomTom Start 60 6" Sat Nav with Full Europe Maps (45 Countries) (Electronics)
    Compared to my TomTom 1000 Live, Garmin 2545 and others, this is the best sat-nav out there - providing you don't need Live Services

    It gives me all the features of my more expensive 1000 but with a screen that is better in the sun, and - with it's double resolution display and 6" size - miles better than anything else out on the market at the moment

    Compared with Navigon or CoPilot on my Samsung Galaxy Note (5.3") the TomTom 60 wins hands down - better routing, easier mount, quicker set-up

    Apart from a live version, I don't think there could be any better sat nav out there at the moment

    Update 27-07-2012
    Whilst everything above remains true, I find the GPS reception poor compared to the Go 1000 (at start-up, once found it's fine keeping hold of the signal), and missing the live services more than I thought I would

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great device with minor issues, 5 July 2012

    This review is from: TomTom Start 60 6" Sat Nav with Full Europe Maps (45 Countries) (Electronics)
    The TomTom Start 60 is a great Satnav. The build quality is strong and the operation of the device is simple and straight forward, no buttons or menus where there need not be one. So far so good! The device it self is bigger than I expected, at first It was almost laughable. My girlfriends sat nav fits within the viewable area of this, with room to spare! However once I started to use it, I soon realised the benefits of having such a large screen, firstly you dont have to attach a magnify glass to your face just to see the instructions and secondly the buttons are large and the screen is so responsive that the two combined make for a great user experience. When acquiring a signal its extremely fast, were talking a few seconds. However this is likely due to my location and could be different for you. However its ability to reroute should I ignore its directions or take a wrong turn are equally as quick. The voice instructions are clear and if set to the Serena voice, it will even read...

    Bit sceptical about buying this, and when I put it on the dash, I thought Nah.. won't work. But it did. Doesn't move, but the 4 star is because it does bounce a bit, but my Nuvi 300 is quite light. The mount could do with being a bit heavier.
