Bad Points: It is difficult to attach to the screen - it either drops off or you cannot remove it at all!
General comments: Have had mine for around 15 months and no problems - always gets me there and around traffic problems.
I would certainly get another TomTom!

Relatively new technology, fun to have and use but Tom Tom must make them more reliable, I think competition in the trade will make a huge difference. Get your act together Tom Tom!

If anyone knows the Lamberhurst by-pass they will know that it has been there for around two and a half years, well the Tom tom still tells you it's off road, if that's how up to date their download update maps are it's pretty poor! My unit also seems to have a mind of it's own and just cuts off and according to their support you have to reset it with a pin or ball point pen hidden inside the unit. Great if you happen to be in the middle of no where and you can't see without glasses ( over ...

Originally I bought Tom Tom One from Currys - It was fine when it worked but within 3 weeks had failed 7 times and despite resetting the screen went totally blank. Curry were very good and gave a full refund.
Thinking to upgrade I bought the 510. Design is appalling too heavy for the support - the thing just droops and no way of tightening it. In hot sun it actually falls off.
I tried to use tom tom customer care website but did not get a satisfactory response.
Next it kept losing battery - ...

I'm not a VERY early adopter but am still somewhat amazed and disappointed to realize that I can now buy one of these for 1/3 what I paid only 9 months ago. Still, that's the march of technology, not Tomtom's fault I suppose. Some of the newest features like speech recognition are cool but I would rather upgrade to more current maps, a bigger screen and thinner/lighter unit overall. Also, why not make it water resistant - Magellan has a cheaper unit that is waterproof so it's not a cost thing ...

I bought my 910 tax free for over £400, I have used it in Europe, and the US, and except for getting confused with freeway frontage roads (run parallel to freeways in some States), it is flawless. My recommendation would be to buy the most advanced model you think you might want to use, it is expensive and difficult to upgrade lower models, and some features cannot be retrofitted onto the lower end.PS. I have tried Sony and Garmin, and TomTom rocks!

Very pleased with my TomTom. I've had mine for exactly a year now and it's always been extremely helpful in getting me where I want to go. Everyone always whinges on about getting sent down dirt tracks - I drive 35,000 miles a year and it's only sent me down one, which was very slightly unsuitable.
The map was up to date when I got it a year ago... in all my journeys, it's only missed off one roundabout (which was only built a few months ago) and tried to send me down a pedestrian route (wh ...

My Tom Tom Go 510 is awkward to attach/detach the screen, regularly fall's back off.
mine was replaced because it turned itself off quite often, but the new one does the same.
maps are out of date although mine is only a year old.
very bulky if you need to carry it about with you.
post code search is also not up to date.
touch screen is very sensitive you will need to use a tooth pick or something.
have been sent the wrong way into dead end,and instructed to cross non existent roundabouts. ...

My Tom Tom Go 510 is awkward to attach/detach to screen, once on regularly falls back off when driving.
maps out off date even though mine is only a year old.
post codes not up to date either.
regularly sent up dead end roads,and across non exsistant roundabouts.
bulky to carry about with you, if you don't want to leave it in your car.
turns itself off part way through a journey(mine was replaced,but the new one does the same). I'm getting a different make,would not give my old one to my wo ...

The Tom Tom Go 510 is a useful tool when it works, but must be alert to inbuilt errors.
Web site and after sales support is very poor.

New to Sat Nav I thought it was Ok and indeed it does half a job OK. Don't even think of updating it or trying to contact customer support. They evidently couldn't care less about after sales service.

You can take my car but keep your hands off 'Jane'. She is my companion and we have long and dull conversations. I do not enjoy being told to "Turn around when possible" - I know what I am doing.
I rarely go out without Tom Tom. Time was that I enjoyed planning a route, I now trust 'Jane' to find the way for me, even though she once crashed leaving me not knowing where I was, having totally put my trust in the programme.

Abysmal after-sales service in my opinion from Tom Tom. Mine stopped charging and after contacting the helpline they promised to email me and send pre-paid packaging to return for repair. 3 weeks later I am still waiting after several visits to Makro where I purchased it an several abortive attempts by Makro on my behalf to contact the helpline, over a period of 48 hours.

Overall product good customer service and back up technical support slow and not very helpful if you have any problems. My opinion - don't buy anything other than the basic if you do don't expect any customer support.

The Tom Tom GO 510 is reasonably easy to enter destinations, adjust volume controls, charge the internal battery and use unit 'on-charge' via the in car charging lead. Not sufficiently reliable with map reading and giving directions; it did understand the instruction to 'avoid motorways' and coped well with this: I am not confident the 'fastest route' was really 'fastest'. The speed camera facility was useful as the unit not only advised of approach to cameras but also gave the speed limit at th ...

Just as a Tom Tom, all very easy to use, but got fed up with it dropping of the under-strength windscreen mount and curious round about routes along Italian dirt tracks and back alleys.
Home charger connection was loose.
Although the thing was brand new the European maps were badly out of date and eventually the screen went blank and the thing died after three weeks use leaving me stranded in the middle of Italy.
Not a reliable technology.
