Roadcom RC300

I bought one of these a few years ago for about £89 in Woolworths and at the time it was at least £100 cheaper than a tom tom. Back then most sat navs weren't that great including BMW business built ones. Being on the road a lot for my job it certainly was better than trying to read a map, especially at night. So it served its purpose - better than not having one, but compared to what you can buy now and how cheap they all are now, its a bit obsolete. I do not know how to update it, however, unlike a built in model, you can use it on a bicycle or on foot when rambling out in the country side. So fair in its day, but not something I would purchase today. Luckly my current company car came with a good built in sat nav. I also recently bought my wife an aftermaket built in unit which is made to look like original equipment and does everything including playing DVD films, but then it did cost me 10 times the price of the RC300.

good little machine , for taking routes you would never think of going,not ideal for lorries,as some of the short cuts are to narrow even for the four by four cars.far superior to the tomtom machines,will find most addresses where tomtom mainly wants postcode destinations or you dont get there..the only thing i dont like about it is you cant upgrade,as its all on an SD card,and no instructions to upgrade, so if roads change then you dont know,as the car suddenly drives across a field to the road. also it tells you to turn into laybys as this used to be the road at one time..

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.

never buy one of these again it sends you up no entry signs and can,t update it at all tried it loads of times and never got me to whare i,m going don,t its just a waste of good money

ok when you nstart your journey but before you reach your drstination it has a habit of crashing so you have to stop to reset and wait for it to reconfigure - very inconvieniant.

shame can't get updates or spares anyone know if you can get a dash mount as opposed to screen mount?

A total waste of money it even keeps trying to get me to turn into every layby I come to

I'm not sure the Roadcom RC300 is up to the job. It takes you the long way round and then gets lost. Tells you to do a U-turn when you know you are on the correct road.

I have just bought Roadcom rc300 there is no instruction manual could you let me no whare to get one.
