TomTom Rider v2 Satellite Navigation - Western Europe

Childrens Toy Shop > Computer > PDA: Other
from: TomTom

June 11, 2007
Bought this unit (with UK Maps) a couple of weeks ago - it worked straight out of the box and communicated with my phone and the headset with no problems. Linking it to the PC updated the firmware - the Tom Tom Home software is quite good.

Menu's are quite good and intuitive with a useful range of features.

Anyway, spent a couple of days blissfully travelling back and forward to and from work - into the sun both ways so the screen display seemed fine. Come the weekend and my chance to take the unit for a run..... I was woefully disappointed by the screen.

What had been a good screen in low light became an absolute nightmare with the sun in any position behind the rider.

Even with the brightness ... Read More:

i bought this from amazon after reading reviews and also the price was one of the cheapest when it arrived it was so easy to set up the bluetooth connection to my apple 3g iphone was superb the phonebook sync'd across no probs the actual quality of the maps and the routing has been fine on the several times i have used it one neat quirk is that you can download different vehicles from the garmin web site to have as your vehicle.overall this is a very good and useful sat nav for the money and is better than several of my friends who have tom toms it also picks up the satalites pretty quick also has life time sub's to traffic update again very good i rate it but we are all different hope you enjoy it if you buy it

Great piece of kit - as long as it works. I was attracted by this cool GPS when I saw a friend wearing one. Unfortunately his failed just out of warranty and now mine has done the same. Coincidence, poor quality or cynical built-in obsolescence. Anyway, buy this GPS only if you will get enough use within the 1 year expected lifetime.

This little gadget, small enough to put in your pocket, is a MUST for any travelrs to Spanish speaking destinations who have any hesitancy!

Great for giving you the missing word in the sentence that just slips ouit of your mind, or alternatively, giving you enough words to make a understandable request!

Easy to use (My 10 year old brother thinks so too)
Good buy!

SwitchEasy Capsule Rebel - Apple iPhone 3G Protective Shock Proof Silicone Inner Case + Hard Lexan Polycarbonate Exo Skeleton Outer Shell (Black)

Childrens Toy Shop > Computer > PDA: Other
from: SwitchEasy


It's a good strong case, leaves the controls still available and doesn't cover up the proximity sensor like some apparently do. It makes the iphone a bit bigger but it's still easily pocketable and because the outside is smooth it doesn't turn your pocket inside out when you whip out the phone to answer a call.

It's worth noting that in the box were not just the case, but also a couple of tiny stands, two screen protectors and a bit of card for squeegeeing the protector on without any bubbles. So I'm not sure why amazon is encouraging people to buy it with a separate screen protector.

Garmin eTrex GPS Personal Navigator

Childrens Toy Shop > Computer > PDA: Other
from: Garmin


I bought this 2 years ago and have enjoyed walking with it ever since - combined with maps to plot out the route it makes walking much more enjoyable as you can concentrate on the scenery not the map - and you get the computer readouts of time walking, speed, mileage etc etc. The only thing is that the aerial is not very good and the signal disappears easily in woods(even in winter!) and other times so I'd recommend to buy the later version with a better aerial. And do I miss the maps? no! you don't need a busy power-hungry screen and once you have got the hang of what it is telling you about your route and tracks then it is like reading the stars...!

Ideal gadget attatchment for the iPhone for your car journeys.

Garmin Forerunner 201 Wrist-Mounted GPS Personal Training Device

I've had this unit for a couple of years now and I absolutely love it. It really helps gauge your training whether you are walking, running or biking, on or off road. It is easy to use, clear to see and comfortable to wear. Battery life is great too and the unit is easy to recharge from your PC. The only minor gripe I have is that it can lose signal under the cover of trees. The software is great and is continually updated, and your routes can be shown on Google Maps as well now. Value for money is increasing as the price drops.
