5 out of 5 stars Very Easy to Use   June 24, 2010
Tom from Colorado (Loveland, CO)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I glanced at the small insturction manual that came with the device for maybe 5 minutes. I then turned it on and it is so intuitive (and I'm no GPS guru or anything), that I was programming some routes within minutes. I like the fact that the device has a nice large screen and yet is very thin. I know some people have complained about where the connection is at the bottom of the device...that is really my only complaint. I even downloaded the lastest maps on the computer and then to the device. It does take awhile, but how often will the average person be doing that? Very nice display, turn by turn spoken directions are clear, and the screen adjusts for night driving. This is my first TomTom, after having a Magellan, and this is by far easier and has more features. I would recommend this device to anyone.


5 out of 5 stars LOVE IT!!!   July 7, 2010

This is the best GPS I have ever owned. It tells you if there is traffic ahead and how long the delays will be. Lets you get around delays. Gives you different viewing options and is a nice wide screen. It quickly picks up the satellite signal, unlike my other GPS that took forever to get a signal. I am very pleased with this GPS and highly recommend it!


5 out of 5 stars Great GPS! You do NOT need another antenna to receive Traffic Updates   June 30, 2010
K. McAllister (Tehachapi, CA USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

When I purchased this GPS, one reviewer had written that you needed to purchase an additional antenna to receive the Traffic service--but you don't. I purchased the additional antenna here on Amazon, but there is no place to plug it in...so I was SO confused. Turns out that if you plug it in and THEN turn it on, the Traffic portion works--but if you turn it on and THEN plug it in, it doesn't work...so be aware. You must have it plugged in prior to turning it on to make it work (and keep it plugged in while using it).
This has gotten me to where I'm going with no issues--sometimes it seems to take us over the hill and through the woods, but it keeps us off of busy-overpopulated streets and gets us to our destination(s) with no issues (so far).
The screen is nice and big, but not TOO big. I plan on using it on my motorcycle, so any bigger would be rediculous, but it's just big enough to allow for clear view of all of the info. The speaker is nice and loud, and voices clear.
I am glad I made this purchase!

oNE THING I LIKE THE MOST IS THE LIFETIME TRAFFIC. TRAFFIC IS REAL AND IT TRULY GUIDES TO THE BEST POSSIBLE ROUTE TO SAVE YOU TIME.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent GPS -- Love the Traffic Function   August 9, 2010
Michael Strom (Chicago, IL USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

My main motivation for picking up this GPS was the promise of "lifetime traffic." I have always been leery of subscribing to a monthly or annual service, especially since I am not a daily automobile commuter. But like everyone else who occasionally travels in and around the city, that traffic service sure sounded like a handy thing to have. In my previous experience with Garmin and TomTom products, I frankly favored the Garmins. I must say that this unit indicates that the two are no worse than even.

I'll start with the traffic function, since to me that was the distinguishing feature here. On my very first significant travel (from Chicago to a central Illinois town), the TomTom alerted me to time-saving detours both coming and going -- neither were detours that would've occurred to me. As long as the DC wire connection was plugged in, alerts of traffic problems and potential detours were pretty much automatic, easy to obtain, and productive to follow. Heaven only knows what "lifetime traffic" really means -- GPS companies seem fairly relentless in attempts to turn one-time purchases into continuing cash flow. But hope springs eternal that "lifetime" will hew closer to the life expectancy of a human then to a fruit fly, because so far the traffic function seems really sweet.

As for the other typical functions of a GPS, the graphics of both Garmin and Tom-Tom units are crisp, clear and attractive. The 5 inch screen size really makes a difference, if (like me) you have mostly used smaller units. The routing and directions were better than some units I've used in the past (Eclipse has its strong points, but it gets pretty stubborn about some crappy routes), and certainly on par with Garmin. The interface is quite user-friendly.

Some of the hardware took a bit of getting used to. The mount designed for either windshield or dashboard use takes a bit of getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, it really seems to make a more reliable seal with a windshield. I have not had problems with bumpy roads or sudden maneuvers hurling the GPS into my lap. As touted by TomTom, the mount folds down to a much flatter and more convenient profile for carrying around or simply sticking in the glove box.

My main hardware complaint would be that the mini USB connection into the GPS seems a lot trickier than it needs to be. I need to remember that once I have mounted the GPS onto the windshield, I will never really be able to get USB connection into it -- that connection needs to be made before you mount the GPS. But I have found a certain knack that gets easier with time, and this is really no more than a minor quibble.

Overall, I'm very happy with the unit and hopeful that "lifetime traffic" is not measured in dog years.
