Not so bad really... November 5, 2008
Mr. S. Opacic (Yorkshire, UK)

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.
Very Good, Very Simple, Best I have though always room for Improvement September 17, 2008

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...
 A bit disapointing June 22, 2008

Some nice touches and the new suction device that connects the satnav to your Windscreen is an excellent addition. Can't really see that many new additions to the "latest" maps though. Sheffield City Centre for example is still nothing like the new one way system that has been employed. This was disapointing as I had bought it specifically for this.
I would say that if you have a TomTom v2 or newer don't upgrade to this one. You aren't getting anything that significant extra for your money.
Come on TomTom I'd expect more from you on the new shape device...
Good for first timers June 23, 2008

My first SatNav and I was a little sceptical but am delighted by its sheer simplicity and the neatness of the device. It fits snugly into my drinks holder so I don't have to stick it anywhere and 'Jane's' instructions are easy to follow. It did leave me stranded at one T-Junction but apart from that, perfection. The software is only slightly complicated to install if you have proxy servers at work and have to change your connection options, but once you've got through this you're up and running. Altogether a successful purchase based on one weekend's use!
 Very Pleased November 17, 2008

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!
