    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

    • I used the TomTom for years in Boston--very helpful as it is a confusing city to drive in even for locals--but it consistently doesn't work in the financial district/Chinatown where the buildings are tall and densely packed.
    • Hopefully, TomTom will resolve this issue with a more robust software update for MyDriveConnect.
    • It may be because I'm used to another brand device but The TomTom was not user friendly to this user
    • However, in oratice, TomTom just does not perform well
    • This TomTom works just fine
    • I prefer the TomTom to them all.
    • 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
    • Update: TomTom refused to refund my money
    • The TomTom worked perfectly on a recent trip to France
    • Apparently TomTom's techonology has deteriorated significantly rather than improved.
    • but I personally like the Tomtom better
    • i live in both continents so use all of these maps - the TomTom is definitely trying to do better than Garmin and having also a couple of Garmin Nuvi models, I prefer the TomTom...
    • Basically, the TomTom is good.
    • TomTom should be ashamed of such an inferior product.
    • Tomtom is great, even in very very long tunels in Italy never lost satelite reception
    • As a result, I am a loyal TomTom user.
    • We have not used another GPS internationally, so have nothing to compare with, but cannot recommend the TomTom.
    • That didn't answer the question, because TomTom always gives you a "latest map" guarantee when you purchase one of their GPS units.
    • We'd use both and the TomTom seemed to favor the autobahns less.
    • TomTom is useless
    • Apparently TomTom's techonology has deteriorated significantly rather than improved.
    • Update: TomTom refused to refund my money
    • The TomTom did work fine for the basic driving instructions, and it did try to re-calculate quickly if we made a driving mistake, thus the 3 stars rather than less.
    • I love my TomTom
    • Not happy could not it out even my brother in law owns a tomtom could not work it out not happy at all will never buy other tomtom.
    • I bought this unit to replace a TomTom XXL 540S that I dearly loved but somehow misplaced
    • I previously owned the TomTom GO 930 which I bought in 2009 and I loved it.
    • and I highly recommend this TomTom.
    • TomTom worked well
    • Unless you're a regular TomTom user I recommend that you not purchase this GPS
    • More automatic features than my beloved 10 year old TomTom, which still works, but did not have storage capacity to load Europe.
    • I still think TomTom makes good
    • I did not bother calling TomTom to get the European maps figured out
    • and it is a joy to use, NOT a single mistake even on small roads, I find myself constantly thanking my little TomTom
    • So I called the Tomtom 1-866-486-6866 number on the box, and it was solved literally in 2 minutes
    • It seems to me that it is an software issue ( tomtom application), since before updating, it was working
    • This is more an issue with the Surface Pro then the Tomtom, but still frustrating and maddening.
    • 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.
