 Nice item, but... July 25, 2008
This unit is an older unit so the software loaded with it is dated 2006. I just bought in in July 2008. For anyone looking for the most up to date maps out of the box this is not the unit for you. I bought this to replace a Magellan Roadmate. It has some nice features but could use some the Magellan had such as multiple users and an easier to access volume control.
 Poor quality and directions April 6, 2008
I am greatly disapointed in the quality of the product. The device frequently takes 5+ minutes to locate my position when I turn it on. I shouldn't have to get the device out to the car and turn it on several minutes before I leave so that I can get directions to my next destination. Similarly, the battery life is very poor. After just a few weeks of use, it would routinely last only 5 minutes before giving me warning messages about the power. As a result, I need to travel with the charger at all times and cannot use it without it being plugged in which brings me to the next issue. The device is poorly designed. For some reason they decided that the only way you would ever want to charge it, is with the full base. You cannot plug the charger directly into the tomtom which means you must have the charger with you at all times. I also found that it frequntly asked me whether I wanted to connect to my PC, while I was driving. After a month of aggrevation, I called to complain and eventually received a replacement device. Unfortunately, only the issue about connecting to my PC was resolved which makes me think it is a poor quality system and this doesn't even go into the times when it gives misguided directions (something which I would assume that all devices do from time to time). I would recommend that you stay away from this device and possibily the TomTom brand.
Piece of Junk January 16, 2008
I have had nothing but trouble with this unit. It could not navigate on the olympic peninsula in Washington state. Resets itself too often. Finally, when I really needed it one night, it died. Not a power issue as it was plugged into the car with the charge light on. Tried charging overnight - now it will not reset and not even come on. Returning it for something that works.
 Underwhelmed January 11, 2008
I have been disappointed in my TomTom for a number of reasons; so many in fact, that I don't know where to start... Perhaps the Ben and Jerry's in the POI for Mammoth Lakes, CA when we were on vacation that landed us in the middle of an apartment complex (perhaps they have a condo there...?). Similar results for a number of other POI's. Some work, some don't...
The website is difficult to navigate. Support is not easy to get. The connector for the AC adaptor falls out of the dock very easily. The software that connects the device to the computer is not intuitive or easy to navigate. I was allowed to purchase John Cleese as a voice, but wasn't allowed to load it to the device... I could go on (and on).
 Save time, energy and frustration November 25, 2007
The unit arrived as promised. I took it out of the box. Read the "quick start" instructions and fired it up. It took about three minutes to fire up and locate itself. My wife and I used it on a trip to a new area with about 20 stops to be made. Except for two streets which were very new the TOM TOM did a perfect job. Smart buy.
