Love it - so easy to operate - gives plenty of warning to change lanes to exit

For someone who just moved to a new town, GPS is always a help. However, the system really needs more localized information -- I have not been out that much, and so far I have encountered two occasions when I entered the street address and the system did not recognize the street name at all. There are not many "points of interest" stored for the area. The system also does not tell you when you need to do a "Michigan left," and from time to time it would tell me to turn right where right turn isn't allowed. Overall I am rather disappointed with this product -- aside from indicating a general direction, it is often useless in guiding me on my way somewhere. I still need to resort to Google maps or Yahoo maps beforehand and figure things out by myself as I go. The screen display and audio quality are nice, though.

I received my Tom Tom as a gift for Christmas '07. Within a year the sound was going. First it would come in and out and then it just quit. Called the 800 number and they helped me delete and reload the application. Fast forward a few months, same problem! I called the 800 number again and did the same thing only this time it didn't work. Since the GPS is over 1 year old the best they can do is offer me a $50.00 coupon off of another one.........if I still have the proof of purchase. I don't travel a lot but I do like to have it for short trips as I am geographically challenged! Having said that, this unit got very, very little use. I would say less than 10 times in a year, and most of those were local trips because the kids got a kick out of seeing and hearing it. I don't think it's made to last. If you travel often I wouldn't count on it.

I bought this Tom Tom for my boyfriend for Valentines Day. I am very happy with it. He uses it all the time. It has also helped me get to my new job. Fast on shipping. I and my boyfriend are very pleased with this purchase. I would recommend it to anyone. I also love the way it shows all the streets names as you pass them. Happy in Ohio.. I also plan on becomming a member of Overstock.com

I have always had travel angst...there is nothing more dreadful than trying to stay on course while fumbling with maps at 70 miles per hour. Tom Tom was very easy to set up...easy to use and completely reliable. Peace of mind electronics...
