Hi

Just thought id post this here. Just got myself a TomTom One V4 Europe for £100.

From littlewoods: http://www.littlewoodsdirect.com/rf/lxd/p.do/one-e...

At the checkout Apply Code "ZG999" for first order and £15 off

And go through quidco for an extra 8% off too. Works out to £100 inc postage smile

Thought that was quite a good deal.

Looks good, cheers for that.

Is it true as per the review that it can only be charged via usb cable or is it that the mains charger is an accessory ?

It looks that way. The only place to plug anything in on my tomtom is where the USB cable plugs in. I got an incar charger with mine which plugs into the same slot, and yes, mains charger is extra. I didnt get one of those, but its not an issue as i'll just charge mine en route in the car anyway!

Hehe the garage my mum worked at was closing, and my car came in as part ex. The guy was buying a new kia 4x4!
I even had the cheek to try and knock him down to £80 for the car biggrin Best car ive ever owned. Not getting rid of it for the forseeable future!

And that 740 you linked too is not worth anywhere near £1k. Half it and you have a more realistic figure, even though that particular car, looks to be in pretty good condition.

Mine has seen better days cosmetically now, headlining is torn and the odd bit of interior trim cracked or broken, but i use it to help people move house (3 times now), use it to tow my caravan etc, so it sees a hard-ish life.

Cheers for your comments smile

Is this Western Europe or the Whole of Europe?

Thinking basically does it Contain Bulgarian Maps?

No problem, I think that's brilliant. Once I have own place and place to store cars, with affordable, sensible insurance, ill be able to enter that fun world.

Most mobile phone home chargers will fit TomTom sat navs. I bought a home charger for my TomTom and it was exactly the same charger supplied with my Motorola phone.

I have just bought a tomtom go 930t for £220 brand new from a company called clearance bargains on ebay, they are run by argos to get rid of their stuff thats no longer in the current catalogue.
These are brand new, not refurbished.
Very impressed with it so far, the remote control is great, its easier than leaning forward to touch the screen, and also the voice activation for address input works very well.
