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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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.
