TomTom GO 510 Car GPS Receiver

I've had three other sat navs and I can say that this one is the best yet. I drive around 30-40000 miles a year so I need to know where I'm going and this unit rarely lets me down. The widescreen means you can navigate with the touch of a finger and you can store frequently visited places so you don't have to type in a location every time. Watch the screen or listen to the spoken instructions on where to go, couldn't be easier ! You can even select different voices, but I guarantee you'll go back to Jane in the end.
For me a huge bonus is the hands-free mobile phone calling via bluetooth. The unit even takes a copy of all your mobile numbers out of your phone automatically so you can dial people directly from your tomtom without picking up your phone! A remote control is sold separately also.
Another bonus is that it comes with all the speed camera locations loaded onto it, which could save you the price of the tomtom in speeding fines. Similarly railway stations, shopping centres etc, also you can load in grouped items like Tesco sites, congestion charge zones or BP petrol stations plus hundreds of others if you connect it to your PC every now and again. (Many free web-sites)
On the down side these are top of burglar Bill's Christmas list so never leave it in the car if you can help it, they might even see the window bracket or the mark it leaves on the window and break-in just to check the car for you. (Been there, done that!)
A sound investment if you do a lot of driving or can't find your way out of a paper bag, plus this unit saves you the price of a hands-free car kit for your phone. I could never go back to using maps again now, Get one you won't regret it !

Hello
I am very please with my TomTom GO 510 Car GPS Receiver

Services was Excellent keep up the good work

Flameshield

great item easy to use saves a lot of time as i go to different adresses all the time not found any dislikes yet

Initial start-up could be better covered in the Installation Poster. Location of Reset extremely obscure.

Easy to use and reliable but have still not found out how to set exact home location on unadopted road.

We thought we may of bought the wrong item, but turned out to be more than expected and great value for money, we spoke to the seller on the phone and he was more than happy for us to return if not happy and allow us to exchange for another product, but the TomTom we purchased was fabulous and well worth the money especially with the extras and the aftersales.

Thanks so much

its a good navigator, but inside the city it is little bit slow take calculation and hence i got horn.

This is my first sat nav. Item was brand new as far as I could see. Took out into a very rural area excellent results. I deliberately ignored the some of the directions in a area that I new , Tom Tom very quickly recalculated the next possible route and continued guiding me to my intended destination . Top marks to product and seller.

this sat nav is easy to use and is as good as the go 700,i think as long as it gets you where you want to go , why spend a lot of money on expensive models.

Bought Tom Tom sat nav at greatly reduced price and have been delighted with it, except for one or two small shortcomings. Main advantage is that my wife no longer needs to navigate, which she loathes and which can lead to rows.
The postcode input is brilliant, just type in a postcode and within moments you are offered a route, told how far it is and given an estimate of how long it will take to get there. If you want to visit another place en route, you can do that too. If you miss a turning or decide not to take Tom Tom's advice it will immediately calculate the next best route.
One of the shortcopmings is that you have to pay extra for traffic information, so Tom Tom will take you through even those areas which are well-known bottle-necks - like the centre of Bath (which happened to me recently).
Another shortcoming is that the maps are quite out of date in some areas - particularly for mini-roundabouts, but you can usually work out the route quite easily without guidance.
All in all though, great value for money.

I bought the TOMTOM GPS to get some fun back in driving and I am pleased with the purchase.
The only problem was that I bought it on the spur of the moment before researching the model offered a GO 510, I think that it has been superceded and later models are available, therefor the maps are somewhat out of date and its going to cost me another £30-00 to get updates

It is a great help when you want to travel to a destination where you haven't been before. Especially when you have to arrive in time (e.g. your flight's departure). Useful gadget!

If your looking for a good quality GPS navigation receiver than you should consider buying a TOMTOM. They are deemed as the leading brand in GPS although they do come with a big price tag. They are reliable however things do tend to go wrong with them from time to time and you may need to send it to the TOMTOM repair centre in its lifetime.

There are similar GPS recievers around with smaller price tags if they are out of your price range. You might find a lesser known brand with reatures similar to the TOMTOM range so i would consider having a shop around if money is tight.

I was got lost on the way to a dog show which was down a little lane, my fault as turned left insted of right. Tomtom took me home in a faster rout

This is just right for the purpose, processing power and speed. It has 2 problems though; the first is wrong indication of 2 years warantee. This is for hardware only. You have to pay for maps updates. Do not fell into this trap if you are not prapared to pay extra 40 quids.

The second is not pairing with MDA (HCT) phones and possibly most of Window Mobiles operated ones. I have tried different downloads and third party upgrades but all failed. My MDA Touch can not pair with it. If hands free option is important to you (as it is to me) then you should check compatability before accuring one.

I would have rated it as Excellent if the above two points were addressed. Indeed I would have been fully satisfied if the first point is addressed. It is not expected from a well established company like TomTom to offer a hardward warantee without the software updates!

Great Company to do business with - very good communications and the product is perfect and delivered very fast - what can i say Excellent all around.
