Strengths: sleek, bright screen, accurate maps, fast

Weaknesses: n/a

Summary: I absolutely LOVE this GPS. We never owned one before, and 5 minutes after taking the GPS out of the box we were on our way on our first route. It worked flawlessly - we even tried "tricking" the device by taking different roads. It immediately recalculated our route within seconds without any errors. It is user friendly and uncomplicated.

Strengths: Multi-lingual Voice, Map Update Share, Very New Map, Excellent Signal Reception

Weaknesses: User Manual not very clear

Summary: Just got this gear a couple days ago. Loved it. I have downloaded the map update the same day. The next day I downloaded a Chinese version of voice and it worked great. Tried it this weekend. It even knows a rotary just completed a couple weeks ago. I put it on the center console between the front seats. It could receive the signal without any problem.The only thing is the user manual from download. It does not describe all the features. For example, does it also charge when connected to my computer's USB port?Comparing to my previous Sanyo GPS, I like this one much more.

Strengths: Easy to use. Good reception.

Weaknesses: None

Summary: This unit gives nice direction. Easy to use. You can learn all the function even without going through manual. Display can be seen clearly under bright sunlight. 3D map is much better than 2D map. Touch screen is very responsive. It's like you're using window screen. There's almost no lags. This is my first GPS and I start to love it right away. Best GPS unit for the price!

Strengths: Easy to use; accurate map; clear directions

Weaknesses: No TTS; short battery life

Summary: I liked this GPS right away when I started to use it. It always gives acuurate and right directions on the road no matter I follow its routes or detour. It never misses a turn. It's very easy to manupilate. The volume is loud enough. The screen is nice to look at. It's not fancy sice it's inexpensive. But it's cute. I like it. Though it does not have TTS, it's worthy the money I paid.

Strengths: Bright screen, updated map

Weaknesses: Short battery life

Summary: Easy to use out of the box. Display can be seen clearly in direct sunlight. After 1 week of usage it has given acuurate and right directions and quick recalculation of route within seconds.

Strengths: Easy to use, Simple straightforward directions, bright display, lots of operations, intuitive menu

Weaknesses: Battery life, No SD card slot, Cup holder does not stay

Summary: This is my first GPS. I have heard good things about TomTom GPS devices and now I know why. The device is very easy to use. It worked straight out of the box. I did not even have to use the manual. The menu options are simple to follow. The GPS asks simple questions that help you set up your home location and other options. There are multiple keyboard layouts that you can use. The on-screen keys are not huge but they are not too small either. I did not have any problem in typing the addresses. There are other alerts as well like above speed limit, near school/hospital etc. There are a lot of POIs and I was able to find many of them. Text to speech is not supported but I did not feel a need either. In a few cases, the GPS device does ask to make a turn, but I realized that if you are focused on the road and listen to the instructions, you know that you are not being asked to make a crazy turn. If you look at the screen, then it clearly shows where to make the turn.Overall a very good GPS device with detailed maps. Very happy with it and highly recommended.

Strengths: 1. lightweight and easy to carry 2. great and latest map 3. accurate localization 4. clear instructions 5. quick re-route calculation 6. simple to use

Weaknesses: 1. no text to speech 2. no full manual included in the box.

Summary: This is the best GPS I have ever used in this price range (less than $150). Accurate localization and clear instruction, lightweight and portable. The only shortcoming of this product is that it has no text to speech and cannot speak the street name. I highly recommend it, if you have a less than $150 budget for an amazing GPS.

Strengths: Accurate software; fast response when recalculating; Portable

Weaknesses: TomTom Home (software on home computer) needs improvement; Holding cup not strong enough

Summary: I had this budget unit (bought for ~$120) for two weeks and it is absolutely good enough for everyday use. The updated software (remember to connect to computer before first time use to get all updates) is very accurate (beat Hertz NeverLost, though I am not sure how often Hertz updated their rental car unit). It's a simple one (no Bluetouth, do not play MP3 etc.), yet it "does one thing and does it well." Strongly recommended.

Strengths: very portable, good recalculation, high sensitivity and easy to use

Weaknesses: a little bit too small. in addition, the winshield mount part can not be removed.

Summary: This cute unit works great. The satellite signal is very good even inside my concrete apartment. I used the unit to in new york city once while it worked like a magic. Whenever I missed an intersection or got onto a wrong road, the unit could quickly, say, 1 second to tell me how to get back to the right track. Without it, I belived I would be lost there because the NYPD blocked one street for unknow reason where I must use to access to Lincoln turnel.However, the monitor is a little small. I could not read the street names clearly during my driving. In addition, the mounting unit can not be removed. This cause a little inconvenience when I wanted to use the GPS to walk around.Generally speaking, for that price, this is an excellent deal.

Strengths: Maps are extremely accurate and easy to use!

Weaknesses: None

Summary: This unit works right out of the box! It is easy to use and the maps are great - very accurate. This is a GPS everyone can use and one of its best features is that it is portable!!

Strengths: Bright screen, easy to use, very accurate, ready out of the box

Weaknesses: No text to speech (but ok for price point!), battery life is limited

Summary: After using this for about a week, I am very impressed with it. I bought another brand a year ago for slighlty more, and this an excellent unit for the price. I would suggest this unit to anyone that wants a basic unit and good functionality. The screen is very bright and for a novice user, it is the perfect gps system. The maps seem very accurate. I have been driving and I haven't ran into any dead ends or wrong ways. You can program detours and closed highways. This is a basic unit with no text to speech.

Strengths: Price

Weaknesses: Would be nice to support verbal street names

Summary: Nice product and price just right with the recent price cuts (Just over $125). This was my first GPS unit and I was very pleased as to how easy it is to use and surprised on how accurate it is. It does take a while to really trust it, but it is easier than reading a map.

Strengths: Sleek, Accurate Routes, Calculates routes faster, frequent map updates.

Weaknesses: No Home charger, No text-to-speech, Not-hackable, No Stylus included, Small icons.

Summary: Unit has anti-glare coating, so it clearly visible in bright/dark light, icons are very small and hard to type. In couple of long trips, TomTom routed me to closed roads, however, it was quick to calculate alternate routes and put me on right path. I owned a Megellan before purchasing TomTom 3rd edition and i must say other than the small issues, TomTom outperforms any other GPS i owned. I highly recommend it for everyone as entry level GPS.

Strengths: Very good software

Weaknesses: no SD card slot

Summary: This is a great unit. Very good software and good routing system. However, there is not TTS and external SD card slot. These are two major problem of this unit. Other than these two, this unit is working very well, and definitly a great buy under 150 dollars

Strengths: graphics, ease of use,price

Weaknesses: not as many points of interest as there should be,battery life

Summary: This is my first GPS unit and I'm glad I got it.Out of the box I got it up and running in about 10 minutes without reading the instructions.It is easy to program.I wish there were more points of interest within driving range of my house, even if I already know how to get there.You'll have to put the actual address in instead of finding it on their list.There is also a new highway near my house that hasn't been added to the map yet.This unit is amazing though. It gets you to where you want to go and if you manage to miss a turn it QUICKLY recalculates another route.It does not have text to speech meaning it says "turn right in 500 years" instead of saying "turn onto "main street" but it lists the street you are supposed to turn onto at the bottom of the screen.You can get updates from their website which it self is a bit confusing to use at first.You can charge the unit through your computer's USB post or in the car lighter.I love this unit and highly recommend it.
