How long is a piece of string?

You'll need to give us more information, what do you want it to do?
UK only or driving abroad?
Handsfree phone calls?
Use out of the car?

Have you done any research yourself? Tried the TomTom website? Looked at their features comparison table? TomTom Home "Take the Tour" / "Go compare"

Good question - the Nuvi is far thinner, lighter and faster to use than the ONE or the 300, and has the latest SiRFStarIII chipset, plus 4hours+ battery life. It also plays MP3s and photos..

Great system, and available for just £329 including shipping now...

Go300 - Better audio, longer battery life, charge lead plugs into mount so quicker docking/removal.

One - Smaller, much improved satellite reception, charge lead plugs into unit itself.

Think that's about it....

If you have a coated windscreen then the one is far better than the 300.

I tried both and the ONE picked up 8 sats whilst the 300 couldn't get a proper lock - it need an external antenna. This was with a BMW screen and a Citroen screen - I tried a Renault as well and both units worked.

If possible try both - you proably know at least one person with a GO unit. Other good values option are the garmin i3 and certain navman units but I've never seen of used these so can't comment.
