|
|
Hello all
I am buying a new car on Saturday and next week I will diping my toe into the GPS waters for the first time.
I have narrowed it down to the TomTom 510 or the TomTom One so why should I spend the extra £50 for the 510? What does it' offer me other than the 4" screen?
Are the traffic updates available for the One? I have a few spare 1gb SD cards so upgrading the 32mb that's shipped with the One is not a problem.
So which should I go for?
Thanks
Stu |

other than more uptodate maps on the 510 it also has a handsfree facility where as the one doesn't have handsfree _________________ currently using aponia truck navigation on windows phone. Good bye IOS don't let the door hit you on the way out .

I couldn't see the point of a widescreen on a satnav - I can see why you might want a tall screen (to see further ahead on your route), but a widescreen seems a bit pointless to me.
The ONE comes with a 128Mb card, but doesn't allow for software updates (which need more??), so a bigger card is needed.
Not sure why you would want a hands free satnav in a car either ? _________________ --

Don't forget roads also go horizontally. On occasions in built up areas I've found a widescreen allows a good view of those connecting roads which branch off left and right.
Also by 'hands free' I think it's a reference to Bluetooth phone capability.
Having said that the TT910 I've been using does come with a remote control.
Initially I thought this was a just an unnecessary extra that I would find little use for.However being able to fully control the satnav without having to reach forwards to the windscreen has soon made me change my mind. |

Hello all does anyone know where to get the cheapest price for a £510?
My supplier has let me down and I had my heart set on one.
Cheers
