TomTom Start Sat-Nav video review

  • More Photos
  • Video

TomTom has pared down features to the bare essentials to create the Start. However, it still gets the basic job of getting from A to B done. The current RRP of the version with UK and Ireland maps is under £100, and some vendors are already offering the Start for much less. At £89.99, the Start is a bargain. If all you want is a dependable sat-nav for the occasional trip rather than daily commuting, TomTom’s Start offers the best value currently available. Read full review

  1. Navman Panoramic

    Navman Panoramic

    Our rating:
    9/10

    The Navman Panoramic supersizes the sat-nav, for an amazingly keen price.

    5/10

    A sat-nav with a 5in screen for £110? Surely there’s been some mistake?

  3. Garmin nuvi 2240 UK and Ireland

    Our rating:
    8/10

    The Garmin nuvi 2240 offers a solid set of features for a decent price.

I still use my 5 year old, battered TomTom Go when I need a dedicated satnav - never updated the maps either, and it's still brilliant! (I do use my HTC HD2 and iGo too).





I really like the size of this but the price is still beyond a no-brainer to update. I think a really sweet spot would be £50 for the UK and £75 with full European maps. I'm still a sucker for stand alone devices and even though every phone under the sun has a sat nav option these days, there will always be a place for a TomTom device.





Sweet looking 968 there in the background :)

Any idea how long the battery lasts, this looks perfect to tape to the tank on my moterbike (in a plastic bag in the rain)

complete no brainer here, if you don't already have a sat nav and want one don't even think about buying this just do, tom tom is by far the best sat nav IMO
