What's great about it: pin point accurate
What's not so great: does not tell you if your location is on left or right
i purchased this unit 2 weeks ago at a great price 142.99 you always have to check the website because the store price was 159. but it was cheaper at bb.com i asked the employee for the best nav system he had that had free maps and told him that price was not an issue because i was replacing an avic z-3 and it was being covered by insurance. he showed me this tomtom unit and i was really shocked by the price so i did not expect much.
i first went home and downloaded the tomtom home app onto my mac and while i had the unit connected it kept failing to update the maps and the software but once i removed the gps unit and than downloaded the maps and software, and there was a critical update that was needed (this is why some of you cant get the new maps) next i connected the unit and it uprgraded with no trouble at all.
my first trip was to san francisco as this is a huge problem for garmin untis. it had no problems at all it redirected like a champ if i missed a turn i was redirected in no more that 10 seconds. the traffic feature is flawless really helped on the trip back home.
next i tested it on a trip to los angeles and las vegas and all i can say is i have no problems at all. the only drawback s that it does not tell you if your destination is on the left or right and if they add that it would be perfect.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love this gps. It has great features. It finds a satellite very quickly. I owned it for two months now, but I have not had any problems. This is my second GPS. TomTom is so much nicer than my previous GPS which was a Garmen. I would highly recommend buying this. Every person that I show this to wants this one to replace their GPS. Great buy. You won't regret it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Does everything I need it to do
What's not so great: nothing
I had purchased this for myself last summer when I made a trip to a city I was not that familiar with. When my son moved to a new city we had discussed a GPS for him as well. As a present, I bought one for him too. It is easy to use even though it take a little time to get used to it. I like the fact of free map and traffic updates. I don't think you can go wrong with this unit. One thing that is helpful for me is the TomTom dashboard pad (not usually found at Best Buy) as it doesn't sit securely in other brands of dashboard pads . Depending upon where the sun is coming in, I can adjust the angle so I can see the unit without glare of any kind.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Easy to set up and use. Lifetime maps and traffic updates, very good screen resolution and clear voice instructions.
What's not so great: So far so good - no complaints!
This GPS is a lot of value for little money. The setup was very easy and the instructions were accurate. Some users indicated problems but that is probably because they didn't follow the instructions before logging on for an update. Be sure to choose your language before getting an update in order to assure the device has enough storage to load the update. Screen resolution is very good, it is very intuitive and easy to use, the included windshield mount works well and there have been no problems. We recently got a new interstate exchange in this area and the update picked it up perfectly. Do yourself a favor and get a A/C charger so you don't need to depend on the car charger all the time - available on the TomTom website. The included lifetime maps and traffic updates alone is worth the whole price of the unit!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Windshield mount
What's not so great: No spoken street names as advertised
Downloaded all the software as recommended but spoken street names didn't happen. Trying to work with online help service but still no results. Hoping for better results soon.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Free Maps, Free Traffic, Good Price, Mexico Maps
What's not so great: Perhaps a more comprehensive POI list
Contrary to many other reviews I was able to upload the updated maps and traffic programs with no major problems from TomTom website. The only comment is that it took a long time to complete the upload, perhaps over one hour to get all the new map data into the device. I recommend the users never to disconnect or do any other internet task while downloading maps to avoid incomplete programs that might make your device inoperable (just a theory, since I had no problems).
On my vacation trip the GPS worked fine, and guided me without any major mistakes. Also one time in San Diego it alerted me to avoid a traffic accident and gave me an alternate route that save me about 20 minutes.
The only negative perhaps is that the list of POI is large but perhaps not as comprehensive as one would like. For example in Orlando, Florida I tried to find a Walmart and they are not listed on the POI. However K-Mart was listed for example. I wonder if the major business pay to be included in the POI list.
Overall the graphics were acceptable although probably not the best in the industry.The voice was clear and loud that read street names. I used the device in Tijuana and the Spanish was tough for the computer to read but it tried. I got lost in a Tijuana neighborhood with no signs and the device routed me safely to the US border exit. So this is a very good GPS for the price and the only one with Mexico maps.
I would recommend this to a friend!
