[if I feel as though I got a very good deal! Apparently, there have been problems in the past with updating this device, but TOMTOM must have finally dedicated some time to fixing the problem. (For the record, I bought the TomTom XL 340TM unit in mid-June 2010 and updated it right away.)

I made this purchase after reading reviews on many products and decided to be brave and try this one! : ) I am glad I did.

I am not a techie and I decided *not* to delete anything from the product before going through the update process, with the belief that if I followed instructions and did run into trouble, that it would be easier for Customer Services to help me. I am happy to report that no help was needed!

I was skeptical when I saw that the update wanted to install over 1300 mb of data when I knew that only 32 mb were available, but the software DID uninstall what it needed to before installing the updates.

After the update, I had over 100 mb available and that was after I added about five additional voices.

FYI -- I installed the Homer Simpson voice and I am glad I did. Not only is it fun, it is very distinctive. I like to listen to talk radio while driving and there was no mistaking when the TomTom was talking to me because Homer demands to be noticed! : )

I used this unit to navigate in Chicagoland. There were several traffic delays and the unit always re-routed me appropriately when I decided to go off the suggested track. This baby is going to save my sanity when I venture into new territory in my attempts to steer clear of traffic jams!]

Excellent TOM TOM – Jair –
Excellent item, I was looking for this kind of gps with all the maps that i need from US and MExico, this is the best choice

horrible GPS system – photoguy –
I bought this GPS unit to replace my garmain. Overall I am very disappointed overall with this GPS unit. It takes 2-3x longer to acquire satellite reception than my old garmain. The mountain bracket for the window is a good idea but was not fully developed, there are flaws which make it almost useless. The GPS software is not intuitive and sometimes very difficult to use, especially when trying to add destinations along a route. Another annoying utility is the volume it does not stay at a constant loudness level. For example, even though the volume is at 80% it will sound like it is at 100% sometimes and at 50% other times. I can go on and on with the flaws this unit has but the bottom line is that if you plan on purchasing a GPS in this price range I would not hesitate to choose a different unit.

I wanted a road avoidance feature and got it! – ddlall – CT, USA
When considering my second gps unit I looked for a specific feature which my first one lacked. Quite simply, it is the ability to step through the destination route and avoid a specific road. This is NOT like the generic “avoid highways”, “avoid toll roads” or the “detour” selection on my Garmin unit which has caused me so much frustration, that I have come dangerously close to pitching it out the window, while the calm computerized voice tries to drag me back to the original route after a quick sidestep. After researching, I purchased this TomTom unit which has and performs road avoidance very well. I rarely write reviews but wanted to make this functionality known for those who are unaware of it.
