4.0 out of 5 stars Solid GPS Navigation Device, May 2, 2012

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
GPS navigation devices have come a long way. What used to be exclusive gadgets that only a few could afford has become nearly as ubiquitous as the car stereo. In recent years this trend has only accelerated with the introduction of GPS navigation capabilities to the smartphones. Some of these smartphone GPS solutions are really impressive and give the standalone GPS devices run for their money. However, there is something to be said for having a dedicated device that will do one thing and do it well. That's why I have continued to use the standalone GPS devices, and will likely do so for foreseeable future.

Online registration is required in order to activate the lifetime services (and to receive one year of a fuel-price service). Registration codes are required for both, and requires you to enter codes included on the few pieces of literature included in the carton (so don't throw anything out right away!). Other included documentation consists of a glossy quick start poster. You'll have to go to TomTom's website to download the full .pdf user guide.

The user interface is not the best I have used on a touch-screen GPS. The screen sometimes us not immediately responsive to the first touch of either a menu item or the on-screen keyboard. In addition, some optional settings --such as changing the the vehicle indicator icon-- do not show the changes in an entirely... Read more
