 not a bad gps... but you can find something better. December 26, 2006
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Despite other reviews, this gps nav isn't that bad at all. The menu system isnt as intuitive as a garmin, but overall it's pretty comprehensive and easy to learn. So far I've used a toyota nav, a garmin 2720, and the tomtom go 700. The handsfree calling via bluetooth is a great feature and so far it's given me great directions without the run around that sometimes happens with the toyota or garmin nav. i actually really like the 3D view of the maps... its very clear and pretty straight forward. Of course this unit doesn't come close to the ease of use or features that the other two have, but for the price it's not a bad deal.
overall, i don't mind this unit at all(esp since i got it as a gift), but if you're gonna buy a nav, get a garmin nuvi.
 Great potential but major annoyances! December 23, 2006

I am an expreienced user of GPS Navigation systems. This is my fourth unit. This product has a lot of nice features but many annoyances. If everything worked easily, I would give it a 5 star rating.
PROS:
Blue Tooth Handsfree
Traffic Updates via bluetooth ( via GPRS)
Various configurable options on routes - fast, toll roads, color of maps, voice selections, choice of languages, etc.
CONS:
Hard to get BLUE TOOTH to work with my phone - TREO 650
Does not display name of current Road! Displays name of next road instead
No configuration of level of voice commands. No speaking street names.
Could not find a way to call Destination phone!
When searching for POIs, does not display the address of POI!
Cannot call a POI phone number!
Poor support and website( hard to navigate and find what you need)
I would not have bought it if I knew it had above drawbacks despite being feature rich.

This is a nice portable GPS device, but there are flaws. Understanding its limitations can make expectations tolerable.
Pros: Customizable voices(everyone loves this), bluetooth capability to receive and make phone calls, nice color display, adequate voice prompts, points of interest in system surprisingly helpful.
Cons: No option to limit route to paved roads only(ask Kim family how important this one is, as the same thing almost happened to me and my family), No ability to save current location as favorite(unless address is recognized), bluetooth compatibility is very limited, some bugs in system cause crashes if address is to rte road, no ability to plan route on desktop then transfer to portable, no ability to manipulate or customize favorites on desktop and transfer to portable.
Newer systems may merit your attention if these flaws are addressed, but this is not a bad device at a good price.
 A Lifesaver! Great GPS November 25, 2006

My wife and I were in the first week of what turned out to be an eight-month trip to Europe. We had gotten lost so many times already it was painful. Medieval European towns wouldn't know the meaning of "grid" if you hit them with it. They streets go every which way. In fact, in just trying to get from where we picked up our car to the freeway, we took a wrong turn and ended up 20 miles down the wrong highway. So, by the end of the week, I was online researching GPS systems.
I've never regretted our purchase of the TomTom 700, at the time (August 2005) the top of the TomTom line. I guided us virtually flawlessly throughout the trip. On only two occasions did it give us bad directions, and then only because the map database was inaccurate. The maps are supplied by a third party and pretty much the same for all GPS systems. In other words, a Garmin would have done it too. Other than those two instances, it guided us flawlessly for close to 250 days.
Since we've returned to North America, I've added all of Canada and all of the US west of the Mississippi to the hard drive and still have room left over.
The unit cost me about $900. (Remember, it was new on the market and top of the line at the time.) Was it worth it? Absolutely. It works out to less than $4 a day to not have to hassle with maps, my wife's sorry sense of direction, inability to read maps and car sickness if she tries to do so in a moving car (sorry, honey). I could just concentrate on driving safely and enjoy the drive. The fact that we downloaded John Cleese's voice to give us directions and never got tired of his jokes was just a bonus.
I love my Tom Tom. My friends who've bought one on our recommendation love theirs too.
I can't comment on their service or support because in a year and a half, I haven't needed either! It just works every time I start up the car (or carry it in my pocket for walking instructions--or on the bike for bike routing). It just works.
 TOMTOM NOT SO GREAT! November 25, 2006
5 out of 12 found this review helpful
I have found that using my TomTom that it can never find where we are! It always says that it can't find where we are and the screen goes gray. I am very frustrated with this product and do not reccomend it to anyone.
I have found that the GPS systems built into cars work 10x better than my TomTom.
SUGGESTION: When you buy your next car get it with navagation and in the meen time try a Garmin product instead. I've heard those work lots better.
