Love TomTom, Despite Flaws July 2, 2008
Although I only give TomTom 3 stars for this device, I really like it and I would purchase ONE XL again.
For city driving, there is little to fault. This is my 3rd GPS, and compared to my archaic Garmin III+ and previous TomTom for Palm Treo, this is a beautiful unit. It is also one of the first electronic gadgets that my wife likes as much as I do. On a trip to San Francisco, it enabled her to leave me in meetings and set off alone across the Bay Area to visit her 90 year old aunt. The TomTom was wonderful, guiding her through freeway lane changes and complicated interchanges. Then it brought her safely back to the hotel -- all in an area so foreign to her, she did not know north from south, east from west.
My problem with the TomTom surfaced on a recent road trip from Texas to Utah and Idaho. First, I noticed problems with the map around a couple of Texas State Parks in the Panhandle, Palo Duro Canyon and worse in Caprocks. The TomTom was insisting I route down roads clearly marked 4 wheel drive only, and when I went around Caprocks to the main entrance side, the TomTom indicated roads that were not there, and took me down a labyrinth of dirt roads through agriculture fields. I reached the destination, only to realize there is a nice paved road into the park that TomTom didn't route.
An even worse problem surfaced in Northern Idaho. I lit out from Idaho Falls, assuming Yellowstone was further north on I-15. Wrong. I turn on the TomTom after driving half an hour, not figuring I needed it, but wanting to determine an arrival time. The TomTom quickly revealed I was on the wrong highway, so I routed East towards a little dot on the map - Kilgore, Idaho. That's then the trouble started. Once you get out on dirt roads, even those carrying state highway designations, the TomTom fell apart. Between Kilgore and Winter Park Idaho, the TomTom would have killed me if I paid any attention to it. Non-existent roads were prolific, and the voice prompts to turn become nagging. At times, when a road was present, it looked like something heading off into a cow pasture. Luckily, Idaho keeps the main road well graded and maintained, so it was obvious where to go. In fact, there are a lot of nice vacation homes in the area, so no real concern. But the TomTom database was a mess, so bad the features to allow users to give feedback on non-existent roads were utterly useless because errors were simply overwhelming.
In balance, I highly recommend the TomTom if your travel plans don't include dirt roads.
Also, I'll note that TomTom provisions to download map updates and application upgrades has dramatically improved over my previous GPS units.
Major point for me: Macintosh support is excellent, totally first class. The Mac software is polished and easy to use.
Other than outback map problems, I'd give the TomTom 5 stars!

Love it...makes me want to just keep on driving if it weren't for the price of gas.
Aside from the fact that it's just plain fun this GPS does it right.
