Nice idea, shame about the support
I bought this, the third TomTom in our family's fleet, because we like the easy TomTom interface, and I liked the idea of IQ Routes and HD Traffic Live. Sadly, HD Traffic stopped working right after the initial update of maps and software via TomTom Home (although the other Live features still worked). After more than two weeks interacting (slowly) with Tom Tom support, Traffic still wasn't working so, frustrated, I returned the device and am now wondering what to buy instead.This ...

This is a review of TomTom Customer Services!
I already have a TomTom satellite navigation system and use it regularly. I rate this as a 5 Star product. I shall soon be travelling extensively throughout Europe by road and recently saw an opportunity to purchase a spare unit quite cheaply at a sale. Although an older model, the unit was still boxed, absolutely complete and appeared to be unused. It would not, however, switch on but, thinking it needed nothing more than charging, I took a chance and bought it. I tried everything (...

1 star is purely for Packaging
the box this arrived in was undone, which allowed anyone to take it out of the box! I complained to amazon and have yet to recieve any form of reply.Think this is terrible for a product so expensive!Also the price has gone up compared to when i brought this a few weeks back.

Good hardware, beware of TomTom Home
I got this because it did everything I wanted, had LIVE but wasn't as expensive as the Go models. Turned it on, found GPS very quickly and downloaded traffic updates brilliantly.Then I did what was asked and tried to update the maps and the firmware with TomTom HOME....I have a Vista machine and it all went fine, said that it had downloaded all of the updates and latest map and then on rebooting it froze at startup, therefore making the satnav a complete brick.I did everything TomTom...

better than older version, but still needs improvments
IQ router is good, it calculates better routes, but the HD traffics not really well, it does help you to avoid major congestions, such as motor way accidents, but it doesn't really help you to avoid congestions caused by road works. the traffic information is not up to date during weekends and nights. it shows congestions where it has easied. lots traffics are not show on weekends. it calculates route quite slow, and restarts itself from time to time. despite the bad poits,it is much better than...

Very simple to operate. A little tricky to get to stick on the windscreen. Most effective in operation with the on screen lane indications an invaluable aid to the voice directions. Simple to plan routes.

XP users beware
Bought this as a replacement for a TomTom One V3, as needed Eastern European coverage, and decided that the Live services would be pretty useful too.Unit arrived, but before Live services could be used the unit said that update was needed. So connected to computer and tried to update. Computer is a 3 year old desktop, with Windows XP, and sufficient memory capacity.All I got was a series of error messages, and was unable to update anything. Even unable to create the suggested back up...

A word of warning
Whilst the SatNav is excellent quality there is one design fault. Once the usb cable is plugged in it's very hard to get out again. It's because the right handed plug fits flush to the machine. Looks good and there is no wire hanging down but I have to use a pair of pliers to get it out. I've seen a number of reviews saying the same thing.
