i did a long research before i decided to but this GPS and even after that i wasnt sure its going to make me happy. i had a garmin before and i hated it. good thing it was stolen!! now i have the tomtom and its awesome!!!
Terrible unit. Traffic works sometimes & must be constantly reset. Holding down the power button for 30 seconds (especially while driving) is a real hassle. When traffic does work then the GPS signal can take a while to come up. TomTom customer support gave a different answer or ineffective fix each time I called. No consistency in support personnell. TomTom wanted me to pay for shipping and send the unit to them & then wait for the new one to arrive back maybe). Support a real joke, Stay away from this GPS, IT DOESN’T WORK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just wanted to provide this small tip to new users of the TomTom. It’s about the suction cup for the windshield – I’ve read review that it doesn’t hold well, and one person said that if he wet the cup before sticking, that worked for a while. The windshield mount that comes with the TomTom actually is designed to hold – but the instructions aren’t clear. So here’s how you get it to hold really tight – you couldn’t even pull it off.
You will need to figure out the position of the mount first, then separate it from your TomTom, since you can’t do the rest of this with it attached. With the suction cup facing the windshield (away from you), turn the disk that is in the center all the way counter clockwise. Then stick the mount onto your windshield where you want it, and while you push it with your hand, use your other hand to turn the disk in the center all the way clockwise. That motion, turning it clockwise, makes the suction cup really tight. Then you can put your TomTom back onto the mount.
Hope this helps some folks. My mount fell off a couple of times, then I realized what I’d done wrong.
When I went to the web site to set up the My Tomtom account and check for updates, I have to say that it wasn’t super intuitive – at first it wouldn’t take my code. Not sure why that is, but after going through some stuff I was able to do it. The GPS itself is very nice, I like the choices of voices, and the display is nice. It does reroute quickly when you make a different turn than it tells you.
I ordered & receive a TomTom XXL-540TM & ACCESSORIES .
Had problem: device wouldn’t mount on my MAC POWERBOOK.
worked with TomTom people by phone. They were very helpful, but decided there was a problem
that couldn’t be fixed.
I did an online return/exchange with Amazon.
I expected to wait until they received my return before my order would be filled.
I couldn’t believe it when they processes my order immediately & shipped the replacement
before I could repack & return my defective one!
I sent my return yesterday & my replacement arrived yesterday.
I find this service absolutely amazing!
Thank you Amazon.

I really love my tomtom gps. I actually got another to give to my boyfriend. The screen is large and easy to see the directions. Very easy to use!
