I've used this 4 times. Now it does absolutely nothing at all.
It's just a blank screen. The green light comes on but there is no picture & no sound.
Buy a Garmin. The fourth time it took about 25 minutes to turn on.
I just wasted $144. My sister buys Garmins & never has any problems with them.
The third time I tried to use it it took 10 minutes to turn on.
The only con is the poor battery life. I dare to say that it is even better than the 3rd edition, as it has a slot for a SD card, what opens a new world for updates, and upgrades. Differently than most people believe, it can be used with MapShare (you need to update it through TomTom Home), and supports most of the recent map versions. Ed.
For some reason, TomTom does not list the 2nd Edition on the list of products for reviews. However, if you are not planning to use it for walking, that should not be a problem. If you are bold enough to try something more advanced, you can even enable TTS (Text to Speech), so that it would not just tell you "turn right in 100 feet", but it would also tell you the name of the street, like the most expensive models. That is a shame, because the 2nd Ed.
is easy to use, robust, and takes you from point A to point B without breaking the bank. In a nutshell, it is a great product, does what it was meant to do, and does not cost much. is one of the best GPS devices ever available. The 2nd.
And I will never get lost :)TomTom is the best consumer invention since the toaster. Intuitive, Affordable, customizable, no monthly fee, never get lost, find cool stuff in your state, what are you waiting for.I bought this exact TomTom at WalMart for $150, it was totally worth it.It's intuitive, anyone can use it, children, elderly, YOUIt's customizable, there is free software available from TomTom's website that you can download to totally customize your TomTom (for free) - I remove all the sounds and add many points of interest (POI) so I can find all the lighthouses and curious attractions in Maine, not to mention state and national parks.Whatever you're in to you can download it to add to your GPS - lighthouses, historic buildings, state and national parks, amusement parks, restaurants , stores, churches, strip clubs, anything really.And there is a ton of user created POI, also you can create your own POI.Rock on. I will never go on a trip without my beloved TomTom, since I got it I have discovere3d so many wonderful places to visit in my state.
My brother suggested it to me while I was in New Mexico and said it would be stupid impossible to find his house if I didn't get one. I never would have imagined this technology as a kid, and to see it in use is a fantasy come true.
Whenever someone asks me how to get somewhere I make sure to let them know they should get one. I have my normal stops and certain areas figured out now here in L.A., but I still use my TomTom when I'm going somewhere unfamiliar and it saves me a TON of gas driving around looking for my stops.
This is my first TomTom product and I absolutely adore it. WOW.
My favorite sales phrase - "Dude, get a TomTom.". I purchased it on Halloween last year while I was on the road moving to Los Angeles.
I saw a Wal-Mart off the highway as he told me about it so I pulled off and grabbed one.
I do find the user manual difficult but I have had little reason to do try. The only thing that could use improvement is screen contrast and brightness in daylight. Having had a Garmin prior to this puchase I consider this model far superior. Resonably easy to program out of the box, I use it frequently and have yet to be led astray. I travel mostly rural roads and small towns through about 5 states and finding some locations was a nightmare.
