In store service was excellent (even pointed out I could get discount on a case)
Product is first class, does all I need it to and has a much improved windscreen attachment."

"while I like the overall appearance and the way it shows you what lane to be in at motorway intersections, I do not understand how the POI's work. On my Navman when I put in National Trust all the properties near by would automatically appear on the screen. So far I haven't worked out if it's or the tomtom that's at fault. Also on the Navman you could choose if you wanted to take the fastest or the shortest route which more often than not turned out to be the scenic route which I liked."
