Strengths: Price, Esay to Use, route calculation is fast
Weaknesses: Route accuracy, no Text to speach
Summary: This is my 2nd GPS, after using Garmin for long time, I am disappointed with this GPS on the route accuracy. The route is not accurate in my area. On the plus side, the calculating route is lot faster then Garmin

Strengths: accurate calculation, updated maps, and portable.
Weaknesses: instruction guide is too simple
Summary: I used this little GPS just for a few weeks and I like it. It can give you very prompt instructions when you need to turn, very good preloaded maps, clear announcer's voice, and pretty accurate calculations when you need to turn. further more, it is compact and you may just put it in your pocket easily. The only weakness , I think, is its manual is too simple or probably it is just a simple GPS.

Strengths: Easy to use, bright screen and very accurate
Weaknesses: No MP3 and No text to speech
Summary: I did lot of research on GPS and decided to go with Tom tom. I am impressed with it after using this for few weeks. Wish it was blue tooth enabled, MP3 capability and text to speech. Of course I happy for the price i paid. But I feel this unit is very basic. I am planning to gift it to my brother.

Strengths: Accurate Routes, Easy to use
Weaknesses: No SD card slot
Summary: I spent a lot time to search and compare different GPS, and finally I decided to buy this one because of it reasonable price and high quality. This is my first GPS, I love it right after I got it. It has a friendly interface and accurate map. You can use the USB cable to charge it by connecting to your computer. So the in home charger is not necessary. It does not support text to speech, but I prefer to hear clear direction without street name. Overall, it is a great GPS with everything I need.

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.

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: 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: 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.
