All I have used during the 5 years was Garmin's and never had 1 problem. But, the annual map updates can get expensive after a couple years. So I bought a TomTom XLL 540 TM that has lifetime updates for both traffic and maps. So far the unit has performed okay with no problems. The area of concern is the $19 subscription for fuel updates. I update the fuel info each day and each day the TomTom fuel prices fall farther behind real-world prices. Today, the TomTom is reporting fuel price 40 cents lower than current prices. And they continue to give me daily updates of the wrong info. It is possible to go to www.gasbuddy.com and get actual fuel prices for free. I'm coming to believe that the TomTom company is a true Mickey Mouse operation with an inability to correct its own problems. Has anyone else had this same problem.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17568609990544517398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6406593750327945950.post-48069469182400170472009-08-29T20:11:56.753-07:002009-08-29T20:11:56.753-07:00When I went to visit Stanford uni, tomtom told us ...When I went to visit Stanford uni, tomtom told us to take a right and a left, so we ended up in the middle of the campus. So we drove the same road back, but were trapped by a raised telescopic pole.

The model 330 the power connector came apart inside of the unit, the model 130 the screen kept doing wierd things and it would only "sometimes" speak the directions, and the model 125 the power button would not work! So I drove over to another store to look at GPS devices, and I asked a tech guy why TomTom is junk, and explained my situation, he said TomTom has the highest return rate of any GPS product in their store, and advised me if I wanted a reliable product to steer clear of them, wish I would have told to him before wasting 6 hours of my time on 3 defective TomTom's in a row, wow I hate that company!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6406593750327945950.post-74927613861141852002008-12-03T01:55:00.000-08:002008-12-03T01:55:00.000-08:00It's definitely not a common problem.

The problem is that you never know when it is not going to work. My job requires driving all over the state of Mass, frequently at night, and not necessarily on highways. I have come out of an evening meeting at 10:00 at night and found a dead TomTom. I now always carry a strong flashlight, a paperclip that I can straighten out and a magnifying glass (no, I am NOT kidding) so I can reset the TomTom after recharging the battery by running my car (but not for the required two hours). But last week this did not work and I have been unable to restart the TomTom and still have not had an answer back from Technical Support on the ultimate solution . A great little machine but I will not be buying another TomTom unless someone tells me that this is a common problem for all GPS systems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6406593750327945950.post-52009329081638270222007-08-21T15:53:00.000-07:002007-08-21T15:53:00.000-07:00Maybe a bad piece?

Now I have to return it and wait for them to decide if they want to repair it or what.<BR/><BR/>It never was recognized by TomTom Home software, but I let them string me along, promising new software (shame on me). Now it's completely died and they want it back before they decide to repair or replace. What junk!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553179591821332645noreply@blogger.com
