Want a Sat Nav - Do I Need Bluetooth

Hi

I'm wanting to purchase a sat nav and have my eye on a Tom Tom One Europe which is currently available for £138.60 at Amazon. The thing is, in the heading of the product, it says (without bluetooth).

I know very little about sat nav and was seeking some advice on whether bluetooth was needed for a sat nav and whether this is something that I will need to purchase as an "add on".

Here's the link

Thanks for your help

    No, you don't need Bluetooth. Bluetooth with TT models is only there to link your phone as some will get traffic data via your phone or act as a handsfree.

    and to be honest the handsfree function is pretty hit & miss when it works!

    your tomtom will have all the "stuff" built in :).... if you wanted to put "tom tom" software onto a mobile phone then you would need to buy gps reciever which can be blue tooth..perhaps thats what your thinking about?.

    Happy traveling!
