 Great entry level GPS January 3, 2008

This is a great GPS unit. Easy to use, great routing and plenty of POIs. Just be sure to download the firmware upgrade and link to mapshare (both free of charge) before using. The downloads will be available automtaically when you link to TOMTOM HOME. After the upgrades, the unit works extremely well.

I got this unit for a bargain price of $139.00, which unfortunately is about $138.00 more than it's worth. The visual quality is good, and the directions--both spoken and displayed--are easy to follow. The problems I encountered were problems with the accuracy of the maps and the absolute senselessness of the route directions.
Two times in one 15 mile trip, the Tom Tom took me down streets that were not thru-ways, even though its map showed they were. It got so bad at one point I had to call a friend familiar with the area to get directions. Thanks, but I can get lost on my own without help from a navigation aid.
To compound the problem, often times the directions are just ludicrous. To get to a location across town, the Tom Tom took me a round-about way to the interstate, and then had me exit the interstate in downtown, even though my destination was 8 miles ahead on the interstate. No matter how I configured the route (fastest, shortest, etc.), the Tom Tom always took me off the interstate far away from my destination. Ironically, one method then had me get back on the interstate a couple of miles farther down. Agghhhh!
I borrowed a friend's Garmin unit, which performed flawlessly. I have to give the Tom Tom two thumbs down.
Excellent deal December 29, 2007

This is the best value in under 200 GPS market.
Despite some initial problems with updating the firmware and whatever else TOMTOM home does, the unit performs admirably.
However, I can see why someone might run out of patience with the setup/update process.
I kept getting bizarre messages of the "You have no maps" type.
I ignored them, tried it a few more times and it finally did everything it should - I was able to set the preferences, download the latest firmware and the GPS fix. This last patch ensures a fast lock on the satellites and needs to be done weekly or so.
In the end, the problems with the update might have stemmed from an overwhelmed server, but everything is fine now...

I bought this one over the Garmin because its price. The map is good but it keeps losing signal to GPS. When I was driving in PG county, MD, it keeps getting message "Wait for a valid GPS signal". I have stop for 5 minutes before it can find the signal. I works good on Highway but suck on the small road. I just want to through it out of the windows sometimes. PIECE OF JUNK!
 great a deal after the horror show December 12, 2007

I got mine at BestBuy after blackFriday 07. It didn't work unless I pressed the reset button at the bottom. The customer service was great at TomTom. Turns out the software in the box was flawed and needs to be updated with the latest version. I also get the free map update with the 'latest map guarantee'. please not that map updates are NOT FREE. TomTom only guarantee you the latest maps at the time of purchase.
After searching on the Net, many people had similar problems like mine when they got the $119 LE at BestBuy
