1 out of 5 stars Great GPS, NO slot for an SD card   December 3, 2008
I really wanted this unit. I researched for hours/days before purchasing. I THOUGHT it had a slot for an SD card to expand the memory and store maps because on one of the sites I researched it on said it had a slot for one.

WARNING: THIS UNIT DOES NOT HAVE ROOM FOR AN SD CARD !!!!

I am in the process of returning it and ordering a different model from Tom Tom. I will report back when I get the different model.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent GPS device!   November 27, 2008

I had a few qualms about buying this unit because I read these reviews on Amazon about the volume level not being loud enough. I am somewhat hard of hearing, so the volume was a huge issue for me. I went ahead and bought one because I got it locally and figured I could return it if it was not up to satisfaction.

I am happy to say that I have been extremely pleased with this one. In fact, I even turned the volume down slightly because she (I think I am using Mandy's voice) is plenty loud even for me. The British female has a very nice voice too :)

I bought this on a Monday evening, got it hooked up to the computer and did the latest updates and left for a trip the next morning to California (I am in South Dakota). The unit performed flawlessly. It took me a slightly different route than what I normally do, but we decided to do the TomTom route because it was a route we had never taken before.

I have since used it around the LA area and it has gotten me to every point that I have input into it.

Next month...New Orleans!

Great piece of hardware. I am glad I bought it.



5 out of 5 stars 100% SATISIFIED WITH MY XL 330S   November 21, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I couldn't be happier with my new XL 330S. The voice announces the street names very loudly and easy to understand. I chose the feature to sound an alarm when approching a school or church and am having a ball with that one. I chose a moowing cow and when it sounds my passengers break out in laughter and we all laugh our brains out. Also am having fun with some of the free downloadable voices.
Easy to operate and understand how. Lots of cool features. Wouldn't trade it.
I can drive contrary to the directions and it will continue to try to get me back on course, I like that for when I miss my turn or get redirected by traffic conditions.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent GPS, and easy to use too!   November 13, 2008

I bought this GPS for my wife. I had a Tomtom GP 720 which I have been very happy with, but my wife didn't want all of the extra features the 7xx line provides. We came to focus on just a few features when comparison shopping. She wanted text-to-speech so that the GPS would read out the names of Roads and Cities which would make navigation easier. She also wanted a wide-screen display so that the GPS would be easer to see. We checked out Tomtoms, Garmins, and even some Magellins and Sonys at a local big-box store. I tried to stay hand-off -- I am a tech person; my wife is a bit less-so. I wanted her to try each one out and make her decision. She found that the Tomtom was easiest for her to use and understand. She was able to quickly route to addresses and Points of interest. The screen is clear and easy to read; the voice is easy to understand. Installation was quick and easy - this has the new Tomtom mount which tightens via suction when you twist the mount - much better than trying to push a suction cup onto the windshield. Six months later and she is still happy with the purchase.


1 out of 5 stars unable to down load updates   November 7, 2008

Tried two devices. Finally after spending many hours with customer service it was determined tomtom had issues with the ability to download and install the free current map. It left the system not usable as the map that came with the system was deleted and even having backed up the unit the map could not be reinstalled.
