4 out of 5 stars Love the Product...Hate the Service   March 26, 2007
My Tom Tom broke after putting the wrong power source into the unit. Tom Tom corporate wants $399 to fix the unit. They are crazy.

It is cheaper to purchase a new one.



4 out of 5 stars TT GO 700 is a good product, but not the company   March 17, 2007

Pros:

+Pleasant interface. Very well polished product.
+Only touchscreen, no buttons (except power and eject)
+Catches satellites pretty quickly. It was catching satellites from within my bedroom which was particularly impressive
+You can set route a certain way: ie avoid toll charges, use highways, etc


Cons:

-Unless you know where to go on the internet :) updating maps is quite expensive. Mine came with a 2 year old North American map and Tomtom still wanted more money just to update to the latest ones. Whats the point of buying a new product then? Some people here got stuck with European maps (plus were asked to fork more money for the North American ones). I completely understand their despair.
-Doesn't say street names, exit numbers, etc. "Turn left after 400 yards" is not as intuitive as "Turn left at Elm St". This is really a software issue not a hardware limitation, it can be fixed via a software update if they wanted to.

I like the Tomtom product but not the people running the company. It is really sad to ship new devices with outdated maps, just so they could make money off you again. It's like getting cold food in a restaurant and the waiter charging you extra for heating it back up.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent and Accurate.... Idiot Proof   March 7, 2007

This review is being written nearly two years after I purchased the TomTom 700. I drive an average of 25,000 miles a year. The map updates of North Amercia/US. released in Jan 2007 are great. THe POI's (points of interest) are improved and accurate. The unit will even point out every Dunkin Donuts in the US. My kinda device! I have not been lost in two years. With every changing roads and new developements constantly being built, you can expect some newer roads not appearing. However, 9 out of 10 trips are flawless.

Reading the instructions before using the GPS is always very helpful.

I have a TOM TOM GO 300 Wanted another tried the GO 700 wrong thang to do did not work out of the box. Would not keep even the home adress. Also take me to the mid WEST different time zone. Carry me 2 to 5 streets over from where I was suppose to have been.


2 out of 5 stars Decent product, HORRIBLE SERVICE   January 31, 2007
Pros: Set up was great/easy. Multiple voices are great. bluetooth is awesome for those that don't have it in car or don't use ear pieces. Feels substantial/built well and the accessories are very well built as well. Volume is perfectly loud for convertible use, and acquisition is quick. Signal strength meter is great to have also when you're around tall buildings (downtown). I've never lost signal yet downtown (but we don't really have a lot of dense/tall buildings in Austin, TX).

CONS: Customer service-I can't get anyone at tom tom at all. I've called as much as i can without losing my mind. I have a mio for $200 that is just as good (it just doesn't have the bluetooth or as many features, but it gets the job done). I'm sure the Mio won't get much customer support either, BUT it's half the price and i can buy two for the same amount. Even the mio has restaurants and points of interest as well. The tomtom does show a more comprehensive list, but I can't overlook this huge customer service problem.

I've had a garmin, (in car/dash/oem unit), mio, lowrance, and this tomtom unit so far.
