 - A Man's got to know his GPS's limitationsPros: This unit acquires and keeps satellite signals. Its display is clear in bright sunlight. The built in voice is clear and audible with with music on and windows up. The night map colors & brightness are easy on the eyes. Cons: It has given erroneous directions multiple times. It figures out decent routes. The problem occurs in implementation. It will tell you to bear left when the exit is on the right on a Interstate junction. On U.S.24 (Telegraph Rd.)it will tell you to turn right when you need to perform an median turnaround. In both cases the directions it suggested were the way you eventually wanted to get, however it doesn't take into account what you need to stay on pavement and keep it legal. Backround: I have "Microsoft Streets and trips 2006" for my laptop. It is much more accurate in implementation of performing routes. Ive used it much longer and its only made one mistake that I remember. However you practically need another person to operate it. It isn't nearly as easy to use while driving. Suggestion: for $150 I think it was worth it. I would not have been happy to pay more. Rating:  - Tom Tom GPSWell satified and pleased with the Tom Tom GPS so far. I have only had the chance to use it one time so far and it performed perfectly. Good price - good product. Rating:  - Not even close to accurateI was very disappointed in the Tomtom. I used it for a delivery job I had and at one point I was in front of the address and it told me I had 85 ft to go! I have used a Garmin before and would recommend that product over this one for accuracy as well as being more user friendly. Rating:  - Do you know that you should push the start button everytime....?Broadly, this product is not too bad. But, it doesn't seem to be user-friendly. It is really difficult to set into view map option not navigating to somewhere. The worst part is that you have to push the start button. Automatic starting is critical to use navigator in a car. I checked through costumer service. They said it is not available in new units. I didn't hear why. Very Ridiculous Rating:  - TomTom will get you lost in no time!I got the TomTom so I dont get lost. Well, it got lost over and over.
