The Roadcom RC800 stylish, works every time, user friendly good simple operations. value for money, and very inexpensive.
a good all round sat nav which gets you from a to b, and much more.

My Roadcom RC300 can't even locate my address, even if I enter the post code, street name and number. When I try to locate via gps, it gives me an address 10 houses down the road.
Not very happy at all with my Roadcom sat nav, have previously used a borrowed Garmin, should rather have spent the extra money and bought one of these.

Overall the Roadcom RC300 is not bad, but is badly let down by lack of availability of map updates. Most other sat navs give you this option, but I can't get it on my Roadcom which is a shame.

This is a somewhat complicated gadget to use. Familiarity with the product broadens ones horizons a little but it is complicated in several departments especially in saving addresses/postcodes for future navigation. A few extra pound might have obtained a more reliable, easy to use navigator. On the face of it - not value for money.

I haven't actually managed to navigate a complete journey using this
Roadcom RC300, but so far, it doesn't do what it says on the tin. I'll stick with my cheaper, less comprehensively featured Navman, because it fulfills its primary function - it gets me where I'm going.

I wanted to avoid toll roads and Roadcom RC300 took me over the Humber Bridge (£2.70). I wanted the quickest route from Scarborough to Windsor and it just ignord the fact that the M1 existed. Every time I pass a pull-in for parking on a B-road it tells me to turn left into it. The manual says 3 hours to charge and passed charges took 3 hours but today it has been on charge for 7 hours and will not turn on. It has also locked up on me in the past and I had to reset the unit. Not happy with ...

Roadcom RC300 has a clear touch screen and good graphic display, however it has a clumsy windscreen cradle, mains charger lead is too short, unit locks up on long journeys, impossible to use centre direction button, full charge does not last long, and too much sat delay in direction commands. Although this was in my budget, it has taught me a lesson in 'you get what you pay for'.

Pricing attractive. Dont get tempted by the Roadcom RC300 price as its bound to give problems in long run. Customer service helpful but would never refund your money if you are unhappy with the product.

The Roadcom RC300 is cheap enough for most people to buy. This is my second sat.nav, the first one was slightly cheaper but used to lock out all the time.

The Roadcom RC300 was for our second car. The TomTom was too bulky to fit aesthetically so we bought something that would look better.
Up to now I've had two units, the first failed because the Roadcoms internal charger system failed within a week of purchase. The second unit is now 2 wks old, and the mains charger has failed, having to charge from the car. Not sure if I'll try a third, may just go buy a Tom Tom One.

I saw this great little Roadcom RC300 Sat Nav on Price-Drop TV. As usual, I did some research on the product, and found that Woolworths were doing it for £199.99
I had been thinking about getting a Tom Tom,or Garmin, but they were a little expensive, I thought.
So, I have bought one, and I have spent the last few days, trying to make it get me lost! I haven't managed it,yet!
All in all, a very good quality, value for money piece of kit.

I was given the RoadCom 300 for my Christmas present. Bought from Woolies for £200 (down from £250). We chose the RoadCom because it offered features only found on more expensive models, and it had favourable performance reviews.
I was using it within a few minutes of opening the box - very simple to plot a route.
Also supports MP3 and photo storage facility, although I have no interest in this feature, it can do it.
Worked great on 2 heated windscreen cars (02 and "S" registe ...

I was given the RoadCom RC300 for Christmas. Bought from Woolies reduced from £249 to £200, it offered many features from more expensive models. I got up and running with it straightaway from the box - very easy to figure out how to navigate your first route.
It has function for whether in a fast car or slow car (which is great as I have a 4x4 I would like to map green lanes in). Also day / night mode, and usual route options for motorways / tolls, etc...
One thing I have not ...

The Roadcom RC300 Sat Nav is dreadful. The first unit did not pick up any GSP signal.
The second seems to take a none existant short route and does not take you to motorways unless the road is next to it.

Half an hour into its first journey to London it shut down, and would not restart again all day, red light showed it was charging, it was fully charged on starting the journey.
After a full nights charge again, I tested it by trying to find a location in Corby where my son has lived for three years, it found no such address. Its software seems flawed as well as its battery. I shall be seeking a refund.

Well done Roadcom can't Knock the RC300 at all. I was glad to have a nav that could cope and not send me mad. I did have a Navman and sorry to say it was trying to send me down a slip road the wrong way, but Roadcom 1000% spot on.

I brought a Roadcom RC300 unit today and only used it for a few hours but I am impressed straight away. I have been looking for a unit for a while searching the net etc , the price of this unit made me go for it just under £200 with most of the functions of the more expensive units and more MP3 Player and picture viewer via a SD card if your looking for a nice neat Sat Nav I recommend this one.

Roadcom RC300 comes with a very stylish cradle and has touch screen with it very own pointer and its got operation buttons as well, its got serv 3 on the system so it picks up a total of 20 satalights, it has the standard step by step voice instruction, its got a built in multi directional high strength GPS reciever.
