Easy to use, fast enough |
It doesn't zoom exact where you want. |

TomTom Via 130 |
Easy, intuitive operation. When you come upon a complex intersection, it goes into a mode where the actual lane you need to be in is shown, and stays in that mode throughout the intersection. Very useful. |
Can take some time to start up. Doesn't seem as accurate as our last TomTom. The lane visualization is great unless there are multiple route/lane changes within a complex interchange. If the Lane Mode stays on too long it can be difficult to know where to go next! |

Traffic feature usually works well (if warmed up)
Speaks street names (computer voice only)
Seems quite capable of navigating
Overall, I'm quite happy with it |
It seems to take a few minutes for the device to warm up with respect to knowing current traffic conditions. As a result, I have to use my own judgement at first. Also, it sometimes keeps me on a congested street, when it seems that it would be faster to deke around on some side streets. |

Was on a great sale
Generally easy to use for simple point to point navigation |
PC software is poor
Multiple point navigation/trips hard to set up
PC software does not let you manage GPS like a Garmin does. |

TomTom VIA 1500 |
Better operation in bright sunlight than previous TomTom models. Reasonably quick satellite acquisition and route calculation times. |
Worst issue with all TomToms is the reliance on the internal battery. The battery is a planned obsolescence item. It should continue to run whenever connected to 12v regardless battery condition. Traffic receiver cannot be depended on. |

Updating and customizing is a pain |

so far it works well. only a few times it has taken me a tad out of my way. Nice large screen and speaks street names fairly ok. |
MyTomTom device update software is weak at best. Nothing like TomTomHome which is alot better.
can get a bit confused in parking lots |

Bong fest out of the box.
Thinks there is a school on every corner. |
