Navigating with the Garmin Nuvi 300 Series

The new TomTom has many features including Bluetooth, FM Modulator, Mapshare, MP3, Voice Recognition and Text To Speech. Thus it promises a good technology for navigation.

TomTom Go 520 will be the in car Satellite Navigation device of choice for those in the market for a PND (Personal Navigation Device) that has all the features of the new range but just has street level maps of the UK and Eire , and the subsequent price. 

Is there a reason to choose TomTom instead of the current excellent Garmin range? This season TomTom have introduced some excellent additions that are unique in the Sat Nav marketplace (so far) and give them an edge over their traditional rivals Garmin and Navman.

Let’s start with some basics. The Go 520, successor to the 510 and excellent 500, is a Sat Nav for use in the UK (or the country where you bought it). Additional maps can be purchased for the rest of Europe or North America , but if you think you’ll need them soon buy a 720 or 920 instead, it’ll be cheaper than buying the maps separately.
