Garmin Nuvi 250 Satellite Navigation System With European Mapping

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Handhelds and PDAs
from: Garmin

April 09, 2007
I've been considering getting a satnav for a while and probably like most people have been confused by the array of devices available and confused further by the various reviews given - some good, some bad. With a limited budget in mind and having read largely very good reviews I took the plunge with the Nuvi 250. Any doubts I had have completely gone - it's brilliant! It really is that easy and that good. Ok, so it doesn't have loads of features (you'll get those on more expensive machines) but if you simply want a satnav to tell you how to get to a destination that you've not been to before then it's perfect. I'm really impressed. The instruction manual is surprisingly basic, but it still tells you what you need to know to get started (most ... Read More:

TomTom ONE v3 Great Britain

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Handhelds and PDAs
from: TomTom

August 28, 2007
I like my TomTom - it's a neatly-designed unit, finds a signal quickly, the maps and display are very clear and maps can be corrected and updated. The directions are precise with clear indications of which lane to be in at tricky junctions and, very useful for me, it has a speed warning which indicates if I am exceeding the speed limit for the road I'm on.

However, I've possibly been unlucky with mine because my first unit would switch itself on at random when not in use and when in use would freeze at the start-up screen although I could operate it using my PC (not that this is any help because I don't need a sat-nav when sitting in my office!). It was returned exchanged as faulty and ... hey-presto, the replacement unit also switches ... Read More:

Transcend 4GB Secure Digital Card

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Handhelds and PDAs
from: TRANSCEND


Bought this for my Canon Ixus 40 Camera after I had run out of space on a recent holiday with my 2gb card (I shoot a lot of video on my camera).
I was concerned that 1) The card may not work with the camera, although I thought it probably would and 2) It would not be fast enough to shoot continuous video- cheaper cards I have had before have stopped the video after about 20 seconds because they would not write fast enough. The camera itself will only allow video in 1GB blocks, but the card is fast enough I believe to continue the whole 4GB if it could.
Well, I am pleased to say that there are no worries on either count and the thing works perfectly. I can now shoot nearly 2000 pics or about 35 mins of top quality video on this one card.

SONY MSXM2GS 2GB Memory Stick(R) Pro Duo Memory Card

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Handhelds and PDAs
from: Sony


I ordered two Sony Memory Sticks from Love Digital. They charge a rip-off £3.99 PER item and I still have not received them 10 days later. (The Sony camera I ordered at the same time direct from Amazon arrived in two days for no delivery charge - excellent service from Amazon)
I emailed Love Digital via the Amazon web-site a few days ago, but received no reply. I emailed them again a few days later, but still no reply. How incredibly rude and arrogant.

DO NOT TRUST LOVE DIGITAL. I am now currently going about getting my money back from Amazon. I would not even have awarded 1 star, but there is not an option for no stars.

Garmin Forerunner 305 Wrist Worn GPS Personal Training Device (With Heart Rate Monitor)

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Handhelds and PDAs
from: Garmin

May 05, 2006
I've been using my Forerunner 305 for over 2 weeks now and I am very, very happy with it. Although I know it is sad, but this little device was one of my main motivations to get back into long distance running after a 5 year break.

Since Garmin has updated its GPS watch range choosing the latest model (Forerunner 405) would have been obvious, but I am glad I followed the advice of some reviews on here and elsewhere to go for the older and bigger 305 instead.

Why? Well, first of all I have a very nice everyday wristwatch and do not need a running watch that I can also wear at work or in the pub. Yes, the 305 is quite a biggie, but when I am out and about on a run then I don't really mind. After all: I'm out there to pound roads and not ... Read More:

This Tom Tom One V3 Europe Sat Nav is absolutely fantastic. Very easy to use. Clear instructions on how to set up and link to PC for updates. Bought this two weeks before going to France and it was so helpful - even my husband agreed!! I would highly recommend this.

Integral - "9 in 1" USB 2.0 Memory card reader

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Handhelds and PDAs
from: Integral


Needed a card reader to transfer images to an Sd card for viewing on my Wii.I took a gamble with this one as appossed to the more expensive Belkin product.The reason being that a reviewer stated they had problems with data transfer to larger memory cards, i.e.(1 or 2gigs).
I've experienced no such problems and no overheating worries either.
By the way,its 31p, or was, but the P&P alone is a fiver.

Official Apple iPod Dock Connector to USB 2.0

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Handhelds and PDAs
from: Apple Computer

June 02, 2005
As the previous reviewer says, this product is not as pictured but the slightly bulkier one found around on ebay and other Amazon sellers. Because of the inaccurate advertising (the only reason I bought this one over the cheaper ones) I have given it one star.

It does however work like the official, but is not as neat and you have to push in the two sides of the ipod dock connector plug to release it.

Garmin Nuvi 200 Widescreen Satellite Navigation System With UK Mapping

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Handhelds and PDAs
from: Garmin

September 01, 2007
This is my first sat nav and so far I have been impressed at how easy it is to use and overall with its accuracy,however on a recent journey it did on two occasions give slightly misleading turn directions, as well as not detecting two safety camera locations despite having installed camera updates via Garmin,but then what sat nav is perfect?
The re-routing should you miss your turn is very good and for a low cost sat nav it seems to do everything very well,but it's a shame Garmin did not include a £2 usb data cable and I was also unable to register the product online with Garmin and therefore had to contact customer services to register.
So if you are looking for a low cost sat nav the Nuvi 200w does the job very well.
