I've had this roadcom given to me by somebody because he got a tom tom, yeah nowonder he gave it to me it is a load of rubbish when i go into the navigation it takes into london and i live in oxford. and also you can't update it for new maps, waste of my time.

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.

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 the Roadcom RC300. I have used 2 different PDA's with sat-nav before and they were both spot on. I can't believe a dedicated sat-nav unit is so poor.

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.
