This seller is fantastic. Planning on giving this as a gift. Shipped incredibly fast. Have not used the item yet, as it is now wrapped and under the tree. I don’t anticipate any problems. This is a reliable seller with good warranty and satisfaction guarantees.

Right on the box, the unit indicates it says street names. We got it home, downloaded the latest maps from Tomtom etc. and then put it through the test…. NO STREET NAMES… Just turn left and turn right.
Went through the laborious task of trying to contact by email… Had to read thru screens to make sure answer wasn’t on screen then was given opportunity to send message to tech support.
Received email back from them.. informing me I had to provide more details etc.. OK, that’s not a problem IF THEY ACCEPTED AN EMAIL REPLY.. No, they forced you to jump thru more hoops and log back into their system and go thru the whole procedure again.. I don’t have to time to play around with these companies.. Took unit back and bought different GPS device.

Never have had a problem purchasing anything from Amazon or their associates.
This GPS arrived as scheduled, worked great and communcation (tracking) makes these purchases fun.

This TomTom was not as described. It does not have mapping capabilities like I was told (repeatedly) by TomTom’s customer support.

I bought this to replace my Garmin Nuvi 265T because TomTom had IQ routes for city driving. Bad idea. The TomTom can’t even set its clock automatically from the GPS satellites like the Garmin can. The text to speech doesn’t work (yes I selected a computer voice, not a prerecorded human voice). The USA voice uses terms like “motorway” instead of “highway” or “freeway” and it will not pronounce any street names. It just says turn right or turn left, for example. On the plus side, the lane assist feature works very well. I had reality views of almost every freeway exit I came across. The menus on the TomTom are very, very difficult to navigate. On my Garmin, I just tap “Where To?” and enter an address. On the TomTom I have to navigate through a seemingly endless set of menus. The software updates using the included Home software are a joke. I didn’t even get to the map update before my unit ran out of memory. I tried formatting the unit’s memory in Windows so I could just download the latest software over the internet using the Home software but TomTom uses a USB 1.1 interface and has a severe stuttering problem when writing to its built in memory. This means that formatting took 6-12 hours! Outrageous! I immediately got rid of this unit and bought an MSN Direct receiver for my Garmin Nuvi 265T. The traffic is real time, not NEAR real time (it updates every 30 seconds).
I’ve heard that TomTom’s Go GPS units have zero problems, but most of them come with an old school windshield mount that does not have a lever to increase suction like Garmin, Magellan and others do. This means that TomTom’s Go GPS units will likely fall off of your windshield…while you’re driving and likely cause you to have a wreck. Frankly I’d rather have a GPS that just works (Garmin) instead of having the voice of Homer Simpson giving me directions (TomTom).
