My wife loved her gift and the message it contained. Came right on time for her birthday.
Insane Routing
I bought this in a pinch (my other unit was in another car) and I used it for 2 trips. On both trips, I knew where I was going but just wanted to make sure I got through some inter-city areas. The Tom-Tom couldn't even get a correct route for the highways. On both trips, the Tom-Tom wanted me to exit to take back roads instead. For example, in going from Chattanooga to Atlanta, you take a highway east for 5 miles then exit on a highway south. I had the unit set to the default "fastest" route. But it had me exit onto country roads which added 30 minutes to the trip. On the second trip, it tried the same thing but I ignored it. And it repeatedly wanted me to exit the highway.
The routing can't be trusted on the Tom-Tom 130. And isn't this the one basic thing that you want from your GPS unit?
very nice GPS
This is a very good product from TOMTOM
1. very easy to use
2. recalculates the roads very fast (compared to other GPS)
3. 2D/3D views are there
4. night mode is there
5. it can be connected to PC for regular updates (though the maps are a bit old and can not be upgraded fir free of cost - but that does not create any problem to me)
6. It will not tell you the name of the roads (ONE 130S does) but show you the name(current road / next road / freeway / exit / road speed limit / your speed limit / time to destinations etc)
7. the battery is not very good; need to plug in to the charger to start
8. Its as good as new (though factory refurbished)
9. got a mail in rebate easily
10. value for $ is more than 100%
11. Less POI (not a problem for me)
12. serves the basic purpose with more than 100% satisfaction
Good to be my second GPS
This is my second GPS, my first one was a Garmin eTrex Vista, so this one is better in almost every sense. I really like this GPS, I have used it a couple of times and it has found every POI I have entered it. The mainly reason I bought it is because my wife is new to the city we live in. So I thought it will be good not to spend too much money on a state of the art GPS, this one does its job and it does it really good. My wife has not complained about it, she really like it.
not accurate
After a 3.5 hour download to update maps (on dsl) it got me off the interstate 4 miles south of the destination and proclaimed I have reached my destination in the middle of the woods. It also tried to put me back on the interstate two times in different locations going the wrong way, north instead of south. Also two times the resturants that it directed me to were not there.
