Very Pleased
Have been looking around for a SatNav and compared many web offers.Not knowing what make to choose decided on TomTom and am so glad I did. From opening package to using the device in the car it took 5 minutes (its that easy).Went for the smaller TomTom ONE and not the larger screen XL.This screen works really well not sure why you would need a larger screen.Amazon beat all the rest on price and very fast delivery too, thanks!

Not so bad really...
I actually agree 100% with "O. Hejazi" whose review was spot on. Ive been using sat-nav and especially TomToms since the first version of Tomtom was released for the XDA (When people looked at your car wondering what the hell was on your dash board!) The V4 Maps are good as usual, but as with every other sat nav manufacturer, not 100% up to date, but what do you expect?

I won't waffle on about the features, needless to say that for it's money the features are not too bad at all, and the camera database is pretty accurate (I use a Road Angel so can compare) - shame about the SD Socket but hey ho!

The battery life is, as mentioned, absolutely pants! SatNavs had 4 hour battery life 3-4 years ago so this is actually a step backwards in my opinion, especially with the battery technology out there! However, I am one of those that always plugs it in anyway through habit so it's not a major issue.

The rest is usual Tomtom quality - Very easy to use, well built, good clear instructions and I do like the new bracket. The "Help me" option is also handy, hopefully you won't have to use it though! - I was lucky enough to buy mine through a major shopping channel (sorry Amazon!) who offered a free map upgrade within the first year of purchase and one years car breakdown recovery thrown is so even more value (worth £70)

There are others brands out there but for it's price point, this is definately worth buying. Tomtom were probably the first major satnav brand to make it in the UK, and having tried numerous others, TomTom is pretty much No1 So if you want a very good, standard system with a few helpful extra's for around £100, then this is certainly worth the money.

NOT for Macintosh users !
The Tomtom itself is great, easy to use etc - although the speed camera and speed limit database is not up to date. Good idea too to have Mapshare, whereby users can record and upload corrections.
BUT .....
Macintosh users are invited to download Tomtom Home V 2.2 to their computer, and update. All goes well until disconnecting the device from the Mac, when the program will not 'let go' of the device, and the device freezes beyond recovery.
I returned the first Tomtom V4 as faulty, as it would not restart after update.
I've just updated the replacement device, and exactly the same thing has happened. I've returned it for a refund.
The possible error is that Tomtom Home V 2.2 seems unaware of V4 of the satnav device; it offers only V3 and other models.

Very Good, Very Simple, Best I have though always room for Improvement
After 2 days spending on searching through review after review I decided to buy the new Tomtom V4...

...and I am very pleased so far after using it on about 20 trips.

Good Points:

the suction and holder are great and was very important to me as many reviews i read about bigger satnavs were falling off. I would like to re-assure you that you will break/bend the holder before it comes off. It has a twist which releases it and is great.

It has many features to play around with which is always great including many voices you can download, colour schemes etc.

Loads very quick and finds satelites very quick.

Connecting to the computer was a breaze on My XP Pro machine. I was very worried to do this and made a backup of it before i did as many reviews before said of the V3 that it corrupted their Sat Nav but it went through very well. Only once it said unable to connect to server but I clicked GO again and it was fine.

Navigation is easy and it does not keep saying "Keep to the Right" after every junction as reported on other Tomtom units.

Bad Points:

The Battery life is a joke. Only lasts around 60 to 90 minutes so you will most likely need to keep it plugged in if your going long distance.

No upgrade slot for Memory Card.

------------------------------------

The memory slot does not bother me at all as I am an IT field engineer in UK and the chances of me going abroad for work is none nor do I wish to use a sat nav when abroad. Other reviewers that complain about the route it takes you on are silly. It has Fastest route and shortest route. You cannot expect a sat nav to read your mind and take the routes you are used to plus its been set by YOU to go a particular way so it will do only that. If there is traffic I go short route and if I know its clear I go fast route, its simple.
Yes they make mistakes too. I have had a Navman Before and a Garmin... all of them at some point get confused and make mistakes. though my new tomtom has been the one most up-to-date with speed cameras but mostly they make the same mistakes. If you expect a sat nav to be 100% then Sat Nav is not for you and you should get an A-Z so I suggest be Happy with it or make your own if you can make it better...

This would have got 5 stars if the battery was better...
