Wow, how cool is this Tomtom Go700. If you have Bluetooth on your mobile phone, the TomTom Go700 will act as a hands free kit. But once you’ve had a few 15 minute conversations it starts eating away at the battery so we would advise getting the in car charger for it. This unit is amazing, we took it out on a test run and in a town we didn’t know. We felt a bit peckish so we tapped in restaurants and McDonalds and before you knew it we were at the Golden Arches. The ladies voice is a bit irritating but this can soon be sorted with the official add-ons of John Cleese’s voice to cheer you up on your dull motorway drive.

The unit has a mini 2.5GB hard disk drive in, which is more useful than a memory card as they get lost easily. The touch screen is great and the clarity is astonishing for such a little screen. It takes the TomTom a few minutes to get GPS signal but apart from that, then it’s fine. The only problem we have encountered is that in some cars they have a UV protection layer on the windscreen, but sometimes they have a small hole in the bottom left hand corner which is UV free and allows the system to work fine.
