Consistantly tries to take me 100’s of miles out of my way.
Time estimates are off by several hours for a 1/2 day trip.
Machine periodically locks up or goes haywire.
Online updates to the unit often as not make things worse.
Suction cup won’t stay stuck to windshield.
Buy a toaster instead – It will do a better job navigating, and at least you’ll be able to have some toast.
I am directionally challenged… So I definitely hopped on the opportunity to pick this up at Target for $86 as a substitution for a lesser known brand that went out of stock. The maps on this thing are not up to date and a lot of streets are not even on it.. Even my workplace which is a popular Casino.. They want you to pay extra to get new updated maps which is so stupid. I am getting better with knowing my way around so I don’t use this too much.. But it has come in handy. Love the speedometer on it cause mine is broken. Touchy, kinda complicates using it sometimes. Definitely not as accurate as Garmin.. Oh well. It’s worth the $86 I paid, maybe not the price on here.
TOMTOM XL330
NO SPOKEN STREET NAME.
CAN NOT SEE IN SUN.
WILL TAKE YOU “AROUND THE WORLD” EVEN WHEN YOU ARE NOT GOING THERE.
FROM N.C. TO MARYLAND TAKES AN HOUR LONGER THAN A FOUR YEAR OLD GARMIN
THAT HAS NEVER BEEN UPDATED.
WOULD HAVE TOSSED IT OUT THE WINDOW BUT COULD NOT AFFORD THE LITTER CHARGE.
BUYER BEWARE!
I have owned two other GPS devices for my family. I bought this third to replace one that had broken after almost two years.
The suction cup attachment would not attach to the windshield. It would only affix to a flat glass surface, such as a side window, causing me to have to use the adhesive product on my dash to secure the GPS. It seemed OK in my wife’s car which was in the garage. I summarily threw the box away.
However, about a week later I took her car to the store in daylight. The screen is not viewable in daylight. Despite changing the map color and the brightness for the display, when in sunlight, we could not view the display. It is visible when the car is garaged or at night. During daylight it is absolutely useless.
I contacted Vanns (from whom the order was placed) and they told me that because I did not have the original package, I could not return the GPS.
I will NEVER EVER purchase from Amazon or any other on-line store dealer again. If I had bought this at a regular store, the packaging would have been immaterial.
This GPS is a piece of garbage. It cannot be viewed when outside during the day.
This is my 3rd Tom Tom, I am happy with all of them since its easy to use, and simple. This one in particular is better in a lot of aspects, here are some.
PROs:
1. Larger display make it very useful
2. Spoken Street names are very useful. So it will say “Take 95 North towards Baltimore” rather than “Take the next right”
CONs:
1. Slow to respond. This is one of the biggest disadvantage I think.
2. “Clear Route” option is moved somewhere else, not easy to find.
In summary, it provides you a familiar Tom-Tom environment, with large display but slow response.
