Pros: ease of use
Cons: out of date camera alerts
"Ordered online for store collection - excellent service.
Good screen size and efficient satnav, although the speed camera feature seems very out of date as most of the alerts are for cameras that just aren't there, or if they are they're very well hidden.
If not attached to the 12V socket in the car the battery life is only about 3 hours so this is a concern for those maybe on longer journeys who don't have it plugged in.
Overall though I'm very please and hope that this review is in some way useful."

Cons: poor
"Bought this model late last year, so have used it plenty of times, & can give an honest opinion.
Many times I enter a postcode, and it will say ( unnamed Rd )
for the whole postcode. Have found the address by using old A-Z, and when I get there, the streets are 100 plus years old.
Have also put in postcodes that I go to often, but as I am in a strange place need to know the way, & it will try to send me to a town ten miles away.
I now use my old satnav, which cannot be updated, the reason I bought the tomtom.
When I go on to tomtom website, they want me to do all there corrections.
Will buy my next satnav from Halfords, as customer service is excellent, but it will not be a TOM TOM.
If you only use it occasionally it will be fine, but as a tradesman, going to new addresses all the time, not good enough.
