Overall Auto Express rating

3.0

Price: £149.99

Maps/updates: UK or Western Europe/free

The Via 135 is good as a mid-level A-to-B sat-nav, but as Garmin’s similarly priced 2568LMT-D came with live traffic updates, we thought there might be more to this TomTom. Still, it does have an edge over other sat-navs in its field, with its voice recognition capabilities. It’s just a pity you can’t enter a postcode verbally.
