196 of 198 people found the following review helpful  Fantastic value, fantastic technology, 26 Jun 2009 I've used several satnav sets and this one is the best yet. The Lane guidance is very neat and the overall ease of use is fantastic. The screen size is just about right and the unit is fairly compact. The quick release mounting is very neat and easy to use. Highly recommended. Can't comment on the customer service - I know some others have had problems in this area but so far so good for me - not had to call for support. Seems to be very reliable and the GPS locks onto satellites really quickly. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you?  
895 of 908 people found the following review helpful  Lost the UK Map during update, 6 Oct 2010 I purchased a new XL IQ Routes 2 (UK ROI & Europe) and it arrived at mid afternoon. I checked it on a short run in my car, then hooked it up to my laptop to downloaded updated maps. An hour later after updating my map I found that the update procedure (which is totally controlled by the Tom Tom software) had completely erased my UK map. After emailing TomTom and receiving a facile email intimating that I'm technophobe. I returned the unit for a refund. Then I found a really helpful guy in Halfords - he told me this model has a 2gb memory (and no facility to increase).

Tom Tom dropped a brick with this model and... Read more Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you?
842 of 856 people found the following review helpful  Great product, poor computer software, very poor customer service, 18 July 2009 After looking at a few comments on this product I find myself in agreement with many of the positive and even some of the negative. To expound on this, I purchased the XL IQ routes ed (Europe)last Saturday for a trip around Spain next month, with the thought that I'd best get hold of one early enough to get used to the device as a) I had never owned a sat nav before (having been blessed with a pretty good personal GPS and the ability to read a map). and b) having been in cars with others who have used these devices I was concerned they may be more distracting than useful. I picked this product based on reviews of others and a 5 minute demo from a friend, which to be honest made it look indespensable, even for the things that are often never mentioned about the device, such as the help section, which one would assume is a how to guide, but is infact a set up to get the nearest hosptial/ doctor whether driving or walking even including a first aid guide.
