Reviews around job (5.00 of 5)

  • Did a great job with highway numbers and directions related to highway driving.
  • It did a solid job of getting me off the island of Manhattan and to my destination in Westchester County
  • I have used the TomTom to drive locally in Westchester NY and it does a good job finding addresses
  • It did a much better job of finding the most efficient route.
  • Example, the 1505 Tom Tom did not do its job well as we walked the narrow streets of Venice

Reviews around lifetime (4.72 of 5)

  • Only after purchasing the device did I learn that the free lifetime map updates did not apply to the map of Europe
  • In order to get map updates, touted as "Free Lifetime" one needs to download their "MyDrive" application
  • Plus with free lifetime map updates how can you go wrong.
  • Bought product before going on a trip to Sweden as it advertized free lifetime european maps.
  • Evidently no European Map updates included in "free lifetime maps"No compass or direction indicator (really

Reviews around memory (4.39 of 5)

  • My only gripe is that they load this with full maps for NA and Europe, but when you do the first update there is not enough memory to keep both
  • Why didn't TomTom know there was insufficient memory?)
  • Seems like there is just enough memory on this thing to hold those maps.
  • I may have to delete those maps, as other reviewers have found that there is not enough memory to do future updates
  • Except there isn't enough memory on the unit to hold both the current US and Europe maps, which is why they installed the old ones, I assume

Reviews around feature (4.30 of 5)

  • The split-screen feature for pending maneuvers is fantastic.
  • The cool feature with TomTom's too is that there are actually instructions on the web for all the voice instructions file names.
  • Europe maps, easy search feature of finding city first!
  • Large screen with split screen feature shows what lanes to be in
  • feature is great, it lets me change the Europe map to switch to any of the regions I am interested in.

Reviews around map (3.82 of 5)

  • Of note is that the claim of free map updates does not apply for International maps
  • The maps were accurate and the directions were easy to follow
  • In theory, I like TomTom, and the US and Europe maps with lifetime updates that come with this device for a low price of $150
  • Wasted 1 hours connecting to internet creating account, down load updates 2 hours... still no Europe maps!
  • never had a problem with getting lost or having the incorrect maps

Reviews around tomtom (3.75 of 5)

  • This is more an issue with the Surface Pro then the Tomtom, but still frustrating and maddening.
  • In theory, I like TomTom, and the US and Europe maps with lifetime updates that come with this device for a low price of $150
  • Unless you're a regular TomTom user I recommend that you not purchase this GPS
  • So I called the Tomtom 1-866-486-6866 number on the box, and it was solved literally in 2 minutes
  • I did not bother calling TomTom to get the European maps figured out

Reviews around device (3.67 of 5)

  • Device lost gps contact and recalculated many times during trips.
  • So I can use a voice that can't read names, or go with "Samantha".On the previous version of TomToms, you could enter your contact information (through Home) and if you lost the device, or it was stolen, then recovered, that info would show when it was turned on...it appears you can't do that any more
  • Great device, Worked perfectly on our 15 day driving tour of Ireland.
  • Neither can you secure the device with a PIN, so don't leave it in the car for the kids to play with
  • I took this device to Finland and it worked like a charm

Reviews around update (3.58 of 5)

  • Using the TomTom MyDriveConnect, subsequent updates get hung at 99% installation
  • Purchased it because of the North America and European maps built-in as well as lifetime updates.
  • Update 4: Contacted TomTom via email on the stalled update process, but haven't heard back yet (still early)
  • Europe were free updates, and I had the option of a one-time update of 3
  • I did update all the maps about a week prior to the trip (the updates are free for a year).

Reviews around product (3.57 of 5)

  • Bought it when unit cost $220.00 and did not last 1 year, and customer service cheats you by giving you a cheaper and personally, a useless product, since I need a WORLD Edition
  • Very useful, l use USA and Canada and works very well, good product
  • Although a decent product and bought to travel Europe, I would not recommend this product at all.
  • I believe this is an obsolete product and current release products could be superior.

Reviews around direction (3.48 of 5)

  • Used it for our trip to Ireland was constantly dropping the satellite signal and giving wrong directions
  • Spoken directions were accurate and timely, really handy for their roundabouts
  • I'm in the USA at the moment and have used my new device in an Area that I'm very familiar with and have already been given a couple of wrong directions
  • When it worked, it generally provided accurate trip directions, but it often did NOT work!
  • Gave us excellent directions and very timely notifications.

Reviews around rate (3.29 of 5)

  • Occasionally, left and right seemed to be confused, and we were taken down some very narrow streets as well as in circles a couple of times.
  • We purchased for use in Europe, where we live, as well as when we visit the US.
  • Before other people complain that I give TomTom poor rating without even using the GPS, think about it this way: the only reason I paid $60 more for a world traveler edition is obvious to use it in Europe
  • Touch screen also not as responsive as on my Garmin unit.
  • Purchased this unit to provide maps for a week of driving in Scotland, as well as to serve as a replacement for the manufacturer's unit in our Audi Q7 that crapped out - and the dealer wanted $1,500 to replace it

Reviews around speed limit (2.70 of 5)

  • Speed limits on the unit were mostly correct, but not always corresponding to posted ones.
  • Driving around a lot in the UK, the speed limits are not always posted but the TomTom tells you (and is right most of the time).
  • Speed limits were quite accurate, only varying from the posted speed in a few situations.
  • It was really handy to have the speed limits posted on the display right next to your current speed
  • The 1505M is really a bargain (at Amazon's price) especially with the lifetime maps

Reviews around road (2.69 of 5)

  • Sat Nav map I would still be lost in Italy."Her" ability to cut out signal just when we needed our next set of distractions, and her losing us and placing us on a dead wrong road became a running gag throughout the entire trip
  • We purchased for use in Europe, where we live, as well as when we visit the US.
  • Rarely makes a mistake, but then again, all GPS units will take you down a wrong back road in Italy once in a while
  • At one point it led us to a treacherous mountain road we had hoped to avoid.

  • It lost signal very often and not accurate in California
  • Touch screen also not as responsive as on my Garmin unit.
  • Very useful, l use USA and Canada and works very well, good product
  • EVERY TIME traveling to a destination the unit would lose GPS signal, leaving us in the middle of nowhere with no idea how to proceed.
  • And the TomTom took us on obscure back roads so that, when it did lose signal, there was no obvious way to find the way ourselves.
