    TomTom Incorporated 1EN5.019.13 TomTom VIA 1505M World Traveler Edition 5-Inch Portable Touchscreen Car GPS Navigation Device - Lifetime US, Canada, Mexico, and Europe Maps

    • When using the GPS in Europe multiple times after the Safety Camera Alert went off the speed indicator on the GPS would freeze
    • Didn't work the ENTIRE time we were there
    • When we knew it was misdirecting us and we continued on the right path, ignoring it, it had a really difficult time resetting the navigation to keep up.
    • Extremely disappointed that it had a hard time locating satellites in both urban and rural areas of Spain.
    • Very often asked me to make a U-turn after it has asked me to go straight ahead (2) the screen froze several times for no obvious reason causing me miss turns
    • I was impressed time after time
    • each time you start the device, annoying
    • its having issues with signals as well as taking a long time to power on
    • I have gotten lost more times than I can remember.
    • Also , the first time I hooked it up to my computer to shake hands with the TomTom website, it took nearly 7 hours to complete the Downloads
    • Some times it feels a bit slow on telling you to get waaaaay over to an exit but that is usually only on a really wide 8-9
    • Too many other good options for GPS to waste my money and time with TomTom.
    • It would often not recognize round-abouts as such, and other times would miscount the number of the exit we should take.
    • We have used this GPS several times and I love all of the updates from the earlier version
    • After spending hours of my own time, which cut into valuable time, I finally figured out that their MyDrive Connect software does not work with Windows 10Having used Garmin, Magellan, Nuvi and others, I can safely say I will never buy a TomTom again
    • Don't waste your time with this item.
    • A slight inconvenience was the time it took for the device to find a satellite signal, a few minutes each time it is turned on
    • It can be very frustrating and happens at very inopportune times.
    • Every time I contact customer support, I am assured they have "pushed the order and it shouldn't take a long time to deliver the
    • It is then made available for download the next time you connect the device
    • its having issues with signals as well as taking a long time to power on
    • Be amazed the first time you connect the device and get the message their is insufficient room to update your maps (so how did they get maps on it originally
    • This item worked great the first time we used it (trial use before our trip).
    • I rented a car in Toulon, which fortunately had built in GPS, because this unit continually struggled to lock, would lose its fix at the most inopportune time and was so slow to update that it was completely worthless as I tried to navigate through the tight streets of France.
    • Don't waste your time buying a Tom Tom and having these same customer service issues.
    • The only time it froze was when we got stopped underneath a concrete bridge at a long red light in Glasgow and it lost its signal for several minutes
    • I also liked the alarms going off every time we were about to enter a camera control speed zone or railroad tracks
    • The photo cop feature is nice but will scare the crap out of you every time the alarm goes off
    • Well, we did one time because we didn't believe the unit when it was right.
    • We lost GPS signal/location all the time, even under wide open skies and open terrain
    • It gives clear instructions of your next driving moves, and plenty of time ahead so you will have enough time to react.
    • Worked good in all locations, and kept me from getting lost a couple times in France.
    • ability of inserting a micro SD card( a must have for this unit,, see below for explanation), locates satellites in reasonable time.
    • The 1505M is much faster, lighter, locks on to the satellite much more quickly and is more compact since the mount is now built in.
    • The 1505M is really a bargain (at Amazon's price) especially with the lifetime maps
    • and I can say that the 1505M is superb.
    • e browser and it worked fine.
