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.

Sometimes we just need to use a gps system for a temporary time period. In such cases, renting rather than buying a gps device could be a good option.

Keeping in mind of renting a gps navigation system is a good idea. Whenever you need it, just type “rent gps” on google and navigate

On the other hand for UK users Zintech.co.uk offers an in-car Satellite Navigation hire service, covering the UK, Europe, The States, Canada, South Africa and Australia. They supply TomTom units, a trusted and reliable brand, and offer flexible hiring and pricing options.

You need to buy a device to locate your position. You want to buy a gps device. Yet, which one? There are numerous nav systems to choose from, ranging from pricey electronic extravaganzas that require professional installation, to the quirky handheld systems perfect for hiking, biking or driving.

With so many options, your wallet’s the only limit on what type of navigation system to choose. Portable car navigation systems can be divided into one of three categories — affordable GPS that cost no more than $200, mid-range navs with prices that range from $200 to $700, or the upscale units that start around $700 and don’t max out until they’ve reached the low thousands. But even after you decide how much you’re willing to spend, there are a few additional things to consider as you shop.  Your purpose and money range will decide on what to select.
