    Small Item, Big Help!

    By Statboy  Jun 2, 2005 | 22 out of 22 found this TomTom GO 300 review helpful

    Pros: Small size, easy to use features, rechargeable battery

    Cons: No Banks/ATM's in POI database

    I was all set to buy the Garmin 2620, until I saw the TomTom Go 300. It's small size fits great anywhere in the car, and makes it easy to remove and carry around if necessary. It also has a rechargeable battery that gives you around 4 hours of us...e, so for shorter trips, you don't always have to plug it in to use it. Also that feature comes in handy if you are in the house or at the office, because it allows you to plan out your trip before you get into your car, and not while you are sitting in it (especially handy on a really hot or cold day). The unit comes fully ready right out of the box, and with everything you need. The 3d map view is also great, as I find it much easier to navigate than the traditional bird's eye view, though it has that too if you prefere. So far the maps and directions have been great, and the huge (reported 6 million POI) has been awesome, though, my lone criticism is that with that many, they should have done away with some of the lesser needed items, and included Banks/ATM's in there instead. I have been looking for almost a year now, and I am completely happy with my decision to purchase this item. I believe it is better than both Magellan Roadmate 700 & Garmin 2620, and at $100-$200 less, it's a no brainer! Read more Less

    Pros: Gets you were your going.

    Cons: Not always fastest route.

    This is a great product. I have used it to get to places I have never been to before and it directs you in with great accuracy. I like the way it gives you plenty of time before you get to the next turn to get over into the lane you need. If there is... anything that is not 100% perfect it is that the directions are sometimes not as direct as possible, however; they do get you were you want to be. I love the POIs. I also like the idea that you can plan with this from inside your house. My sister-in-law has one that is added to there computer and it lags behind mine in giving information by several seconds. I would buy this item again anytime. Read more Less
