TomTom GO 300
Price: $ - $
Small Item, Big Help!06/02/05
- Pros:
- Small size, easy to use features, rechargeable battery
- Cons:
- No Banks/ATM's in POI database
I was all set to buy the Garmin 2620, until I saw the TomTom Go 300. It's small size fits great anywhere in the car, and makes it easy to remove and carry around if necessary. It also has a rechargeable battery that gives you around 4 hours of use, so for shorter trips, you don't always have to plug it in to use it. Also that feature comes in handy if you are in the house or at the office, because it allows you to plan out your trip before you get into your car, and not while you are sitting in it (especially handy on a really hot or cold day). The unit comes fully ready right out of the box, and with everything you need. The 3d map view is also great, as I find it much easier to navigate than the traditional bird's eye view, though it has that too if you prefere. So far the maps and directions have been great, and the huge (reported 6 million POI) has been awesome, though, my lone criticism is that with that many, they should have done away with some of the lesser needed items, and included Banks/ATM's in there instead. I have been looking for almost a year now, and I am completely happy with my decision to purchase this item. I believe it is better than both Magellan Roadmate 700 & Garmin 2620, and at $100-$200 less, it's a no brainer!

Before purchasing the M505, I was very weary after reading all the reviews that complained about it. But I\'m glad I bought one, it is perfect for me. In low or indirect lighting the screen is hard to see, but the built in light works perfectly, and in bright or sun light, the screen is tremendous. Battery life is fantastic, I have had mine for over 6 months now, and use it daily, and have still never gone beyond half way down. It also recharges very fast. Most of the applications are very useful. I also purchased the expandable keyboard, and it too works perfectly, and uses almost no battery power. I have had absolutely no problems with the M505, and would highly recommend it to everyone.
