TomTom GO 500 - GPS Navigation System with Bluetooth Handsfree

TomTom GO 500 - GPS Navigation System with Bluetooth Handsfree
Customer Review: Good Tool
I think some of the bad reviews are being a bit harsh. Remember SAT NAV is just a map like any other map, albeit electronic. If you are using a paper map which displays two-ways on a now one-way road, you use your judgment as an intelligent person and choose not to go down that road. From this you learn that obviously your map is out of date and likewise the maps in the TOM TOM can become out of date as streets change.

Most people want to sit back and let the TOM TOM do the driving. If that is your attitude then of course you will be disappointed. Remember that this is a tool to make your journey and finding your way easier than always referring to a map. The benefits of this little device far outweigh the negatives.

Customer Review: great but
This is an invaluable piece of kit to anyone who travels a lot

helps you avoid those painfull traffic jams as well.

Two slight down sides one when travelling on the motorway its almost impossible to hold a telephone conversation as you cant hear what the caller is saying,although is fine on normal roads doing normal speeds. If the tom tom has been very heavily used occasionally one has to remove the card and reset the device. Iwould not want to be without my tom tom when travelling in or to unfamilar districts.

Customer Review: A few questions answered…
Like me, you’ve probably read the blurb and still have a few questions - hopefully the following will help!
- Yes, these maps do work perfectly with other versions of the Tomtom One. I’ve got the One V2 Regional which was UK only. The software seems very well integrated with the Tomtom Home PC software, all I needed to do was hook up the unit, pop in the DVD and select the maps I wanted to install from the Tomtom Home software screen. The DVD package includes a product card code, which when entered gave a prompt to visit the ttcode.com website. This generates a separate key code - enter that and everything works a treat.
- The DVD contains the various country specific maps, also it contains country specific maps with main routes of Europe and as well contains a single map of the whole of Europe.
- The amount of maps which you can fit on your SD card will depend upon it’s size and also any extra POIs or voices you use. I managed to fit UK, France, Iberia, Canary Islands and Germany on a single 1GB card. However the detailed single map of Europe is over 900MB, so would need a 2BG card.
- Final key question - are these the latest maps? Answer:no, but then again were you expecting to pay 24GBP for a product which if bought direct from the Tomtom website would be 100Euro for the single detailed map of Europe download or 60Euro each for the single country maps? This DVD, which is copyrighted 2006, contains a slightly older version of the maps but has the added flexibility of a wide range of combinations of individual country maps. The latest version on the Tomtom website at the time of this review is 6.75, whereas the versions on the DVD I received (July 07)are at 6.5.
For me, the reduced price and the fairly infrequent times I’ll be using the maps makes the lack of some new road changes an acceptable trade-off. As they say, you pay your money and take your choice.
I’ve rated this 4 out of 5 only because of the not-latest-issue factor, but I still consider great value for money, it does what it says on the tin.
