Excellent Sat Nav
This is my first Sat nav.... Chosen because it is the newest model with the additional IQ & LANE GUIDANCE. I have used this to travel to 10 locations in one day, and it found them all exactly! The lane guidance you see on the picture actually does appear on the screen about half a mile before the junction, then it reverts back to the "normal" looking Sat Nav screen.
Loads of free stuff on TomTom web site to add really easily.
Bad points? I'm struggling to think of any! except I should of bought one sooner...

Great Sat-Nav from leading brand
I did a lot of research in choosing the ideal Sat Nav. After reading many reviews i chose this Tomtom and i'm happy about my choice. It does everything you need and for £120 after the tomtom cashback you cant go wrong.
Good things: Quick satellite response, great user interface where you can pick your own shortcuts, nice and small mount for quick discharge, nice design.
Bad things: can be a bit flimsy to attach the charger onto the tomtom, not much else.

The IQ routes and the lane guidance are a little pointless. The IQ routes is the same as picking fastest routes in rush hour and shortest distance is quieter times. The lane guidance only works on the major motorways like the M25 and its mainly for graphical design and doesnt really help the user because they would know which lane to be in.

Overall its a great Sat Nav which i think for the money its ideal, if you dont want the 2 new things: IQ Routes and Lane Guidance then get the v4 version for £20 cheaper. All in all im happy with it and i havent had any problems with it.

Good but with a couple of caveats
Good clear screen, easy to use. Satellites picked up quickly and current position is very accurate indeed. Directional voice instructions are very good, I especially like the on screen distance countdown which allows you to quickly glance how many meters are left to the next turning. It generally takes me to the correct location. On some occasions it has been completely inaccurate and has tried to take me the wrong way down one-way streets or down streets that have been pedestianised and by the look of them have been so for many years. It's saving grace to these inaccuracies is that it recalculates the route quickly and smoothly. I have added some sets of PoI which was relatively easy to do. There is speed camera warnings but unless you pay for the updates ignore this as I have passed many fixed cameras without a warning, the useful alternative is to turn on the excess speed warning option which will warn you if your speed exceeds the limit for the road you are on. TomTom was recommended as the make to get by a colleague at work whose job it is to appraise satnav technology for my organisation and I trust his recommendations.
