 NOT WHAT WAS DESCRIBED March 16, 2010

This TomTom was not as described. It does not have mapping capabilities like I was told (repeatedly) by TomTom's customer support.
Worst GPS company on this planet March 15, 2010
Joel C. Walker (Arkansas, USA)
I had trouble with my TomTom GPS so I called them and they ran me through several things that I had already tried, soft reset, hard reset, save everything to computer harddrive and format TomTom and place everything back on TomTom. Everything failed. I played with it for a week and finally got it to respond but it was sooooo slow. Finally it came time to install a new map on it and now the street that I live on is no longer on its maps. What the heck?!?!? Truly a backwards company.

This is the third TomTom I've owned among numerous GPS units of various brands that I've used regularly. Now that I've had it for a month or so I'm hoping some of my experiences will be useful.
Initial setup: The TomTom Home software is OK. I had no problem updating the maps to the latest version. Even with a fast Internet connection, this took a couple of hours to download and install. Although I didn't have any issues, I agree with other posters' recommendations to back up the unit before beginning the update so, in case anything goes wrong, you will be able to restore the unit and troubleshoot it instead of potentially being stuck with a useless device. An annoyance with TomTom Home is that it cannot gracefully accomodate more than one TomTom device: you have to use a different account login (associated with a different email address) for each GPS unit you wish to manage. This is an inconvenience in my household, but it could be a show-stopper for anyone managing multiple devices regularly, such as a small business or fleet user.
Installation: The included slimline mounting bracket takes some getting use to but holds the device securely. I have had no problems attaching the GPS to the windshield. Since I travel with this unit often, I appreciate the compact design as it fits easily in my briefcase--much more so than a traditional suction cup mount. Note that this mount was probably designed to work on glass only, as unlike classic suction cup brackets I have not been able to use it on smooth dashboards or other parts of the car.
This TomTom uses a standard mini-USB connection for power (and data). Both included cables--a cigarette lighter adapter and a straight USB-to-miniUSB cable--connect firmly and work well. The connector is located in a deep well at the lower center rear of the device. If you want to use an existing mini-USB power connection or another manufacturer's cord, please make sure the plug will fit. The Motorola cell phone charger cords I carry in my cars are a *very* tight fit and need some fiddling and pressure to squeeze into position and make contact.
Use: Navigation is quick and easy. It appears to calculate and recalculate routes faster than older TomToms. The lane guidance feature is very useful, especially when traveling unfamiliar roads or in city areas with complex interchanges. The "IQ route" function that takes local conditions into consideration to suggest the fastest route appears to help. In a limited side-by-side comparison against a slightly older Garmin Nuvi, the TomTom picked a couple of minor variations that did in fact make the trip shorter.
I have also been pleasantly surprised by the device's battery life. Unlike earlier generation TomTom's, battery life has been sufficient to make several runs that previously required plugging in the GPS. I have also been able to operate the device longer after receiving a low battery warning.
I wish it were possible to input an address without knowing or guessing at the city name. Most of the time this is not an issue, but when driving in a metropolitan area with many small suburbs strung closely together, this would make things easier and faster.
Compared to previous generation TomToms and other manufacturers' products, the TomTom performs very well at a very reasonable price. You get a lot of useful features in a nice package for not much money.

I looked at product reviews on lots of different models. This one had a good screen quality rating and is 4.3 inches, so he can see it well. I'm glad I didn't go any smaller or with a lesser screen. He wouldn't have been able to see the maps clearly and would have to rely on voice instructions. He's 45 and his eyes aren't that bad but he does all his work on computers and is used to good/large monitors.

Overall, reasonably satisfied with product. Status display is quite readable, However, Text to speech on street names is sometimes unclear, or even incorrect. Full Brightness is not adequate for seeing on a clear sunny day.
