TomTom Start 25 UK Review

As a provider of satellite navigation systems TomTom has long been the largest and most popular companies in the world and this is due to the quality and the ease with which its devices can be used.

Its popularity is also due to wide range of devices it offers from low cost entry-level devices up to the more expensive high-end products. These products include sat nav devices for cars or bikes and apps and software for smartphones and PCs so users have plenty to choose from.

TomTom have a number of entry level products in its range but the TomTom Start 25 UK is one of its more high spec models and offers users all these features at a more affordable price.

The display on the TomTom Start 25 UK is this first and most widely appreciated feature on the unit and is a huge 5 inch touch screen display and has an extra wide screen. Compared to the smaller displays on its other entry level models this screen will give users the space they need to plan their routes more clearly and easily.

It has also made a number of changes to the menu system on the TomTom Start 25 UK that makes it as quick and easy as possible to set up routes and take advantage of the many other facilities the unit has to offer.

In order to help avoid delays during trips the TomTom Start 25 UK comes with a number of useful features. The first of these is IQ Route technology, which is a service that gathers information regarding traffic hotspots, road works and other delays from millions of road users around the country and re-plans routes to avoid these areas. The device also comes with TomTom Speed Camera, which helps users to avoid costly speeding fines and points on their licenses by providing warnings of any speed checks and fixed speed cameras along their route.

To help users with particularly difficult routes the TomTom Start 25 UK also provides a spoken street name facility that means users no longer need to keep glancing at the sat nav when they are not sure which street they should be heading down.

Getting a great deal for the lowest possible price is often high on the agenda for users that are either looking for a basic sat nav device or are new to sat nav systems. The TomTom Start 25 UK is perfect in both these areas, offering features and a price that will suit both business and personal users alike, although it is most suited to the occasional user.

No matter what type of sat nav devices users plan to go for the value of comparing the various deals that are on offer should never be ignore. Even with entry-level products like the TomTom Start 25 UK there could still be considerable saving made by looking at the various deals as well as other similar products that are out there that do the same thing for less.
