Entry level tomtom sat nav device that replaced the tomtom 300 and GO, this model is much slimmer than its predecessors, meaning you can slip it in your pocket for safe keeping. Easy to use even for the beginner, you can either type in town then road name (even the street number) on its 3.5 inch touchscreen, or the postcode and it will take you straight there. You can store your frequently visited places so you don't have to re-type the address each time. Very useful, especially if you have speed camera locations loaded on it (Might pay for itself in saved fines !)
There are many free websites where you can download POI's (Points of Interest) like swimming pools, congestion charge zones or a particular shop brand. (You may need a bigger SD card for large quantities, I recommend a 512Mb)
Beware, thieves love them, always take it out of the car with you, also remove the bracket from the window or they might break-in just to check it's not under the seat or in the glovebox.
I have the upgraded 510 but the tomtom one is just the same when it comes to directions and after all, that's what it's for. Bin your maps and get ONE !
Price at Comet UK (On-line) £179.99 (05-01-07)
You'll find a good used tomtom one on ebay for just over £150, good luck.
