Easy to use; good functionality. Once you have planned in your route, you just go and it will take you there.
-
As with all GPS devices, having some idea of the route may help to avoid sticky (and potentially dangerous) situations, if going off the beaten track. And, although generally accurate, sometimes you are told you have arrived when in fact you are actually just in the vicinity - hence it is wise to always have a map with you as backup.

when there is a problem it is impossible to get feedback from Ton Tom. I purchased the traffic update and it still does not work and I cannot get in touch with anybody and my emails go unanswered. A great system if nothing goes wrong but God help you if there is a problem. The system keeps crashing for no reason and I have to reboot the entire system. Not a problem when you are route planning at home but a real nuisance if it happens in traffic on the way the an address that you have not visited before.

Good Reliability throughout. Great confidence builder when travelling. Seems robust (but see comment on dock below.) Instructions for manoeuvres - roundabouts, turns, etc very well handled by the "voice". "Points of interests" useage was almost magical - especially in the location of hotels.
-
Dock broke on third use - know fault - but was replaced immediately without hassle upon return to the UK. Database years out of date in Portugal and parts of Spain and France. eg Many large towns not recognised. Road systems in place many years not shown and even some Roman roads not there!!!
System "locked up" several times. I had to get tech assist initialy as there is not a ready reference in the manuals. The unlocking "tit" is tiny and needs a pin to operate. Recommend prominent guidance given on this matter not only in manuals but also on the device.

The inbuilt microphone does not work correctly makeing the hands free feature uselss, you need to use the microphone extension wire or nobody can here you even if you are really close to the unit. The mp3 feature is not particulary great, sound quulity is poor and if using the mp3 indoors, the music keeps pausing and the tomtom keeps saying "you have reached your destination" The unit is also a bit bulky when compared to products such as the TomTom One XL
