    Bought this for a recent trip to the UK. As I do not live in the US with normal internet connectivity, I planned to update to a UK map upon arrival in the UK. However, this travel device could NOT be updated unless my credit card was used FROM the US!! I've lived overseas for years and used my credit card from around the world - but COULDN'T buy a MAP for a SatNav? No solutions from them - I even had asked before I left if I could purchase a CD Rom, but received NO response. SO - I carried a $200 ROCK around the UK for 3 weeks. How disappointing - wished I'd have known ahead of time - regret buying it and they won't refund me the purchase price. Do NOT buy a Tom Tom if you plan to TRAVEL!

    Charge the tom tom go all night and next day it is still erratic.I do feel that with more forethought I should have bought another make of sat.nav.
    I did like the large screen, and perhaps that was a relevant factor in my purchase.

    The Tom Tom Go 510 unit takes ages to pick up satalite signal even when new I tried for a year with it . The help from TOM Tom was useless and a refund seems to be impossible an exchange unit was supplied but is worse than the original if that is poss.

    I now have a Sony sat nav that dose what it says on the box it

    M Tom TOM 510 turned out to be a pile of rubbish, stopped working and I feel I never got my moneys orth out of it. Glad there is more choice now as I will never buy Tm Tom again.

    After the first few weeks my Tom Tom has been nothing but trouble. It turns itself on and sometimes will not turn off. Other times it will not turn on. I wish i had never bought it.

    TOMTOM GO 510Was always unreliable from new. Kept locking up. Poor battery life. When turning on it would take a long time to pick up the satellites - up to half an hour - I could find my destination before the tomtom even started. Sometimes the voice directions did not match the screen images (images correct, voice not).At just over a year old the freezing up became even more common, reset stopped working and it does not even turn on now.

    Only bought this Tom Tom Go 510 2 years ago. Software difficult to use. Lack of memory on the card supplied. Battery life poor. Now can't get it to switch on or re-boot. Total waste of £200. DO NOT BUY ONE OF THESE OR THE successor to it. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

    Easy to use
    Reasonably accurate maps
    TomTom make pretty good products [I've had 3 of their satnavs now] but if I ever hit a problem then the online support has been universely awfull for me. They seem to make you jump through hoops even for the smallest things.

    A good product let down by their support!

    I paid a lot of money for the Tom Tom Go 510. I liked it in the beginning. Then problems started. During the first few days of buying it the thing went dead completely and would not come on whatever you did. After navigating the stupid complicated website I found why it was going dead and sorted it out. In the car the in car charger kept getting loose and the charging was un-reliable. Well the other day the tom tom kept going to the volume-no matter where you touched on the screen.That did it fo ...

    I would not buy this make - you will regret it if something goes wrong with the device! Dealing with TomTom is a complete nightmare. My TomTom freezes on start up and now needs a new memory. Trying to deal with TomTom via there website "email" system just does not work.

    Having recently had self inflicted problems with my Tomtom (my son plugged in the wrong charger and blew it up!) I returned my system to Tomtom free of charge after they first sent me all the packaging, to have it returned in under a week fully mended - again, no charge. I am extremely impressed with the service provided, it could not have been better.
    I have always been satisfied with my Tomtom for ease of use and accuracy. It came into it's own during a holiday in France. Highly recommended al ...

    Everything seems to have gone wrong with my Tom Tom Go 510, mine is plugged in to mains on car and will shut down at random and tell you the battery is flat - so why is it not charging? It will take you through a city centre rather than down motorways, the blue tooth is the most frustrating thing I have seen - will ask every 3 secs to connect to my nokia - and you dont hear youself ringing out till somebody answers.
    very dissapointed with what I thought was the best make and I paid the extra for ...

    Will look around before I buy another TomTom. Sometimes takes you down wrong roads. Map out of date almost from the day I bought it. (25000m a year) When taken out of car and put away, the SD card kept coming out, and had to reset it regularly. It's at a point now where it has been reset so many times it has stopped working altogether. Will be considering other packages now.

    The mapping is a good as ever. Its very rare to come across any road junctions that aren't on the sat nav. The sucker that attaches to the windscreen simply pushes onto the screen. Old versions actually had a lever which would increase the suction - which made the sat nav much less likely to fall off.

    I would not be buying another TomTom 510 as it is so unreliable and in the middle of a journey the signal can be lost suddenly.

    I will definetly not be buying a Tom Tom Go 510 again because I don't feel I can trust the build quality.

    I must have the only TomTom GO 510 that works fine and is easy to attach & detach from windscreen. And it never falls off!
