Piece of junk, horrible warranty serviceOct 06, 2009 TomTom is without any doubt the WORSE GPS unit/ Customer service / Warranty service of ANY GPS manufacturer.
My first TomTom the on/off switch was so flimsy it would turn the unit on by itself while it was sitting in the car or on a desk. TomTom finally replaced that one under warranty, but the reconditioned repair they sent runs out of battery power after 45 minutes without being plugged in. When turned off fully charged, the battery will be completely dead within a week WITHOUT the unit being turned on.
I called TomTom customer service, and their warranty department tells me they WILL NOT WARRANTY REPLACE a GPS unit that runs at least 30 minutes under battery power. Also, they told me it was normal for their GPS units to run the battery down within a week WHILE TURNED OFF, and will only replace it under warranty if the battery dies completely within 2-3 days while the unit is turned off.
To recap, TomTom warranty says a fully charged battery only lasts 30 minutes, and a fully charged battery will die after 2-3 days with the TomTom GPS TURNED OFF.
So, if you want to be like me and have a hundred dollar paperweight after purchasing it only 10 months ago, buy this GPS for yourself, or even as a gift! Otherwise, I would avoid this manufacturers products entirely.

p.s. TomTom customer service, if you are reading this, my case number for the facts in this review is 091006-000350. I would not want anyone to think I was making any of this up.
Map updates are expensive, and the PoI feature too.Apr 19, 2009 Most of the times it works fine. On few roads it goofs up with the house numbers here in Phoenix area. So we always enter nearest cross-section instead of with the exact house number and street.
Many times we have ended up way out of the city almost in a jungle.
The maps should be free for updates. 99$ is way too much!!
The Point-of-Interest feature is very poor. Can't find names of many popular chain stores. I've seen that working much better in Garmins.
My next purchase won't be TomTom for sure.
I love Tom TomJan 20, 2009 I selected this product based on the reviews of others. I have been using Tom Tom for a couple of years now. I find it very easy to use and most of the time it is very accurate. I was in the middle of nowhere and Tom Tom took me back to my hotel easily. One of the roads was not even named. Good product for the money. If I wanted to buy another GPS I would buy this brand again but the more expensive one with street name to voice function. My only complaint is that this model does not have the free map updates that come with the more expensive models and the maps you buy cost almost as much as a new unit.
GregJan 16, 2009 Very good value navigation. It isn't always perfect but it does a respectable job.
DisappointedOct 19, 2008 I HAVE FOUND THIS UNIT TO HAVE VERY AVERAGE BATTERY LIFE. WE AR UNABLE TO POWER THE UNIT UP AFTER ANY PERIOD. OTHER COLLEAGUES HAVE MAGELLANS AND SEEM VERY SATISFIED.
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS UNIT AND WOULD SUGGEST ANOTHER MANUFACTURER.
