 Good value July 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've used my TomTom just a few times (3) and have found it to be very accurate. It recalculates routes very quickly when I don't follow the one it initially gives me. I'm a little backward when it comes to new technology, but it's intuitive to use.
I had a little trouble when I first turned it on--I got a screen with a red x. I went to the website for a solution and found instructions to re-load the software. That was a simple process and it worked. I've not had any trouble since. It does seem to take a couple of minutes to find a signal when I first turn it on, but has never lost the signal once it gets going. I think it's a great value and suits my minimal needs perfectly.
 Standalone, Handy, No-Frills GPS unit July 6, 2008

For about $150 & no other fees or subscription, this TomTom GPS unit makes me look forward to a consumer-level computer that actually drives my car; isn't that the next logical step now that driving directions for known roads have been conquered? An easy to use GPS unit with an adequate-sized screen and about 3 hours of battery life (without using the cigarette lighter power) on power-saving mode, it has superseded the hardcopy road atlas in driving- directions convenience. The compass mode & azimuth information are great for general directions (N,S,E,W). In night mode, the screen brightness adapts to night viewing conditions. The included suction cup & adhesive is more than adequate for installation. Now, I just need to figure out how to put Mr. T's voice in the unit. "Ah said Turn Left, Fool!"

As technatically challenged seniors, this was so easy to use. We used it on a recent trip and were so happy with the results. Took us right to our destination without any problems. Won't travel without it!
 What did it say??? July 3, 2008

I bought this TomTom based on an earlier model I borrowed from a friend and liked. Her TomTom was so loud it was jarring-could be heard over the radio and with the windows down. That's just what I wanted since I tend to drive around with the windows down and the radio up. I bought the 130S, named it Jane, and took her on a trip to Burlington, Massachusetts. As luck would have it, Jane was not anywhere near as loud as my friend's older model (Sheila). I notified Amazon and they sent me a replacement. While awaiting the arrival of the replacement I continued to use Jane, and as time passed she sounded worse and worse. Eventually she sounded like she'd had a tracheotomy and was speaking through a voice box. I was not aware that Jane smoked two packs of Pall Mall a day, but by the time we got to Burlington she was quietly croaking "turn left" to which I would shout, "what did it say?????". The new 130S arrived, I packed Jane up and sent her to whatever smoker's rehab Amazon provides (postage paid) and opened the new unit (this took 20 minutes because the packaging is so hard to open. I am not sure why so much plastic is necessary for an item that most stores keep in the back stockroom). I did not name the new one because just like in Platoon, I was not sure how long the new guy would last. This one sounded like a shy Tom Waits, who I like A LOT, but not in this context. It quietly rasped directions at me as I rolled up the windows, turned off the radio and said "WHAT???" After these 2 failed attempts to bond with a TomTom I sprung for a Magellan Maestro 4250. Although the novelty of choosing the voice is not available, at least I can hear the voice, whom I have named Madge. Madge is a non smoker with a pleasant enough tone, and she has always taken me safely to my destination. Sorry, Jane. I hope you get the help you need.
 Good GPS, poor speaker quality July 3, 2008
28 out of 29 found this review helpful
I really liked this GPS at first, esp. the ability to download updates, pictures and even voices all for free. However the speaker quality was very poor, tinny, and hard to hear, even after I made adjustments in the menu.
I called Tom Tom, hoping that I had a bad unit and it could be swapped for one with better speaker quality, they said, unfortunately, due to the compact design, all the speakers in that line are the same quality. Reluctantly I returned it.
Amazon has a great return policy.
I then bought a Garmin Nuvi 350, and wow, the speaker quality is much better.
