While we liked the features of this GPS, from the moment we took it out of the box and the first few days of use, it had issues locating and maintaining satellite connections. At one point, it showed us driving through the middle of a lake. Returned this item and replaced it with a Garmin Nuvi 40LM which has been working flawlessly.
What's not so great: Did not maintain GPS link
This product has... Easy menus, Inaccurate, Free map updates

I bought this GPS from a "Deal of the day" thinking it would be a good buy for use in my RV.... was I wrong!
The mount on it is designed to go onto a windshield of dash, so the mount I would need to use in my application (gooseneck) would not be usable without some major modification to the GPS. Very limited mounting options!
Not only that, but it doesn't have an external antenna input, which would be required for my application being at least 3 feet in from the windshield.
Because of these issues, I didn't even bother to do more than take it out of tho box and it's going back to Best Buy tomorrow!
I don't care how good it may be, if there are no mounting options for it, then it's just an expensive paperweight to me.
What's great about it: Nothing
What's not so great: Poor suction cup mounting arrangement
This product has... poor mounting options

Bought the unit and went on a 400 mile trip within the week. It worked amazingly well, took me down some roads not on any map I had and to the destination. It is an amazing tool. Lots of fun to use and see the way it takes you where you want to go

We bought this as a replacement for the same model that was dropped and screen cracked. No recourse but to replace. Our only problem with the new one is that it came with the Danish language programed on it. Only because we had experience with the prior unit were we able to properly program it. Good size for many uses. Car, Motorcycle etc.
Very helpful for locating stores, gas stations, We love it!
What's great about it: Size, ease of address entry, directions, Mexico maps
What's not so great: Screen is vulnerable to cracks and not repairable.....
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is an upgrade from an older TomTom One which became erratic.
It is similar enough to make it easy to adapt to and also offers some nice new features, more prompts.
What's great about it: Easy to use, clear voice, many timely prompts
What's not so great: A new street in Issaquah WA has not yet been added.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It does not say whether destination is on right/left.So,it is very confusing when you reach to your destination.It did not find a long established business I was looking for yesterday.It's pronunciation is also very confusing,like instead of saying 'University of Connecticut',it says 'University of court'.Easy to use. IQ features very useful.
What's great about it: IQ Route
What's not so great: Spoken instructions
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This GPS was an upgrade from an entry level Tom Tom One Third Edition GPS I purchased several years ago. Since I was pleased with the ease of operation and performance of that unit, I decided to stay with the Tom Tom brand and so far it has been a great choice.
The bonus was the additional features and larger screen size at less cost than my first Tom Tom purchase.
What's great about it: Packed with features For a Price Under $100.
What's not so great: N/A

My first GPS! Could not find my McDonalds or Lowe's, lost signal several times. Points of interest POI should be updated often, we have a new area of town and the shops are not in the database. For the price it seems like a good deal.
What's great about it: Price and feature set
What's not so great: Points of Interest need to be expanded (see review)
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This little GPS is a great deal for the money. The features that this GPS contains are really all you really need. IQ routes, text to speach, lane guidance, etc, its great! The integrated windshield attachment is tricky at first to get a hold of, but once you get the hang of it, its fine. The screen is very clear and the voice commands are surprisingly clear as well. I got this GPS for under $100 and I would reccomend others to wait until this GPS is around the $100 price mark.
What's great about it: Price, Lane Guidance, Text to Speach
What's not so great: Screen could be a bit more sensitive
I would recommend this to a friend!
