For some reason, TomTom does not list the 2nd Edition on the list of products for reviews. That is a shame, because the 2nd Ed. is one of the best GPS devices ever available. I dare to say that it is even better than the 3rd edition, as it has a slot for a SD card, what opens a new world for updates, and upgrades. The 2nd. Ed. is easy to use, robust, and takes you from point A to point B without breaking the bank. Differently than most people believe, it can be used with MapShare (you need to update it through TomTom Home), and supports most of the recent map versions. If you are bold enough to try something more advanced, you can even enable TTS (Text to Speech), so that it would not just tell you "turn right in 100 feet", but it would also tell you the name of the street, like the most expensive models. The only con is the poor battery life. However, if you are not planning to use it for walking, that should not be a problem. In a nutshell, it is a great product, does what it was meant to do, and does not cost much.
TomTom is worth it's weight in diamonds !!!!!!!!!!!!!! November 6, 2008
Intuitive, Affordable, customizable, no monthly fee, never get lost, find cool stuff in your state, what are you waiting for ????
I bought this exact TomTom at WalMart for $150, it was totally worth it!
It's intuitive, anyone can use it, children, elderly, YOU
It's customizable, there is free software available from TomTom's website that you can download to totally customize your TomTom (for free) - I remove all the sounds and add many points of interest (POI) so I can find all the lighthouses and curious attractions in Maine, not to mention state and national parks.
Whatever you're in to you can download it to add to your GPS - lighthouses, historic buildings, state and national parks, amusement parks, restaurants , stores, churches, strip clubs, anything really.
And there is a ton of user created POI, also you can create your own POI.
Rock on! I will never go on a trip without my beloved TomTom, since I got it I have discovere3d so many wonderful places to visit in my state! And I will never get lost :)
TomTom is the best consumer invention since the toaster!
 I LOVE it! November 6, 2008
This is my first TomTom product and I absolutely adore it! I purchased it on Halloween last year while I was on the road moving to Los Angeles. My brother suggested it to me while I was in New Mexico and said it would be stupid impossible to find his house if I didn't get one. I saw a Wal-Mart off the highway as he told me about it so I pulled off and grabbed one. WOW! I never would have imagined this technology as a kid, and to see it in use is a fantasy come true. I have my normal stops and certain areas figured out now here in L.A., but I still use my TomTom when I'm going somewhere unfamiliar and it saves me a TON of gas driving around looking for my stops. Whenever someone asks me how to get somewhere I make sure to let them know they should get one. My favorite sales phrase - "Dude, get a TomTom!".
A great bang for the bucks November 6, 2008
Resonably easy to program out of the box, I use it frequently and have yet to be led astray. I travel mostly rural roads and small towns through about 5 states and finding some locations was a nightmare. The only thing that could use improvement is screen contrast and brightness in daylight. I do find the user manual difficult but I have had little reason to do try. Having had a Garmin prior to this puchase I consider this model far superior.
EXCELLENT! November 6, 2008
I love this product. I am someone who has absolutely no sense of direction. This product is so accurate and makes me feel so safe on long trips. As a young woman, I worry about stopping in strange areas to ask for directions. With this product, it is small and can fit in any bag so I can ensure that I have it with me all the time. If you are or know any women that do even a small bit of traveling, I strongly recommend this product or any TomTom for that matter!
