 GPS March 9, 2010

I had a Garmin but wanted to update to a larger 5" screen. Was leaning towards another Garmin, but after reading many reviews on a compatible one, I decided on this particular TomTom. It does operatre defferntly but it is not impossible to learn how to use it. I really liked the way I was able to set this one up via my computer. Its GPS tracking seems almost on the money as to where your vehicle is, that was something I was not used to with my old 2007 Garmin one. I like it's thin profile, large screen and all the details on the screen. Glad I made this TomTom my choice this time around. It will be a keeper for quite a while.

Two times taken me to the wrong way, some turning direction is wrong, and some street is not available. It is a worse device.

When I was researching for a gps, I was looking at several brands. I liked the shape of the Tom Tom units, how it's arched on top. Then seeing the size of this XXL, I had to have this! I've borrowed gps's before and they were so small. It's so easy to use, it's very fast at creating routes. The ALG is a great feature. It really helps. You can customize the welcome screen to anything you want. I changed mine to a Chrysler emblem to match my car. You can make it yours in many ways, changing map colors, car symbols, adding voices. Tom Tom also has some extra services that you can add, such as Fuel Prices and Safety Cams. To me, this is one of the best, if not the best unit on the market.
 Unit defective and very poor tech support - returned it for different vendor March 7, 2010

I bought the item to replace my older Garmin and because my wife and I are going to NZ in a few weeks. The item arrived and worked out of the box. I went to and from work yesterday and it was actually a nice screen, good graphics, and in general a good price / product ratio. When I got home I decided to update the maps (one free 30 day update after purchase), purchase the yearly map update package, and buy the NZ maps. That is when the horrors began. The updates failed and my unit would not work after that. I called customer support and was on hold for 20 mins or so. After starting a conversation with them, I got disconnected and had to wait on hold again with my call back (another 15 mins or so). When I got thru this time I asked if we got disconnected could they call me back - they said no. Must wait on hold again.
The guy was polite, though, and tried to walk me thru a fix. He said I had to reformat my disk and re-download the packages. This took time so he said he could not wait on the line while I did it, but it would work for sure, and if it did not, call back.
I wrote down the steps he gave me and hung up. Did the reformat and tried to reload the maps - 1 hour process - unit crashed again.
I called back, spent 20+ mins on hold, got thru, and got walked thru another set of instructions. Bottom line, over the course of the eight hour day I had four calls to tech support, lots of time on hold, shuttled up to higher tech support people, supervisors, and in the end the unit still does not work. Something bad inside, so they said I could mail it to them and they would replace it.
I leave for NZ in two weeks, they said the process would take at least that long to get me a new unit - maybe a little longer. I asked them, look, since I have been on hold so long and am a potential customer switching from Garmin to Tom Tom, can you just mail me a new unit, I'll even pay now if you load up the NZ maps, and when I get the unit in a week or so (UPS ground), I will send you back this unit in the same box. They laughed and said no way. They suggested I return the unit via Amazon return and get an exchange thru them. I told them if I had to do that, I would switch back to Garmin. They said, in effect, well, we are sorry you feel that way but we can't help.
So the upshot of my eval is the unit was pretty good but, in my opinion, the customer service was ... well, not good.
Very Satisfied March 6, 2010

This GPS is very easy to view the streets and the sound is very loud, I had to lower the volume. The only thing I didn't like was it did not turn on and off when you turned on the car, like Garmin does. Other than that I think it is a great GPS and the maps are up to date.
