User Reviews about TomTom XXL 540S 5-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator
I purchased the TomTom XXL540S before my recent trip to PA from NC. While not that handy on the interstate (over remembering from a map), I was very impressed with the turn-by-turn instructions along the way - to the point of showing water features alongside the highway and exactly following the position on the road with what I saw on the screen.
After arriving at my destination, I had to ferry my mom from her house to a town some 8 miles away through back roads, none of which had I driven. The TomTom said it was 7.3 miles & 14 min. After 2 miles, mom told me to turn right at an intersection while TomTom told me to go straight. Thus began an arguement between the female TomTom voice and mom. Recalculating TomTom told me to take the first left, recalculating to 15 minutes (so we lost 3 min and a couple miles). Mom argued, NO, continue on straight. We did. TomTom told me to turn right at the next road, to which mom popped "Oh, she doesn't know what she's doing - she's lost!" So we continued on at which time TomTom told me to turn around - against mom's urging to continue on. After two more attempts by TomTom to turn us around, we reached a road that took us even further from our final destination.
All the while, as I missed more opportunities to turn, TomTom's IQ function continued to tell me to turn around, failing that automatically found the next left turn with estimated time of arrival. We finally reached a turn some 5.6 miles away from where we made the first, directing us back along a dog-leg path that ended up 11.2 miles and 20 min. longer (for a total 18.5 miles one way) than if we had stayed the original 7.3 mile track through back-country roads.
After arriving 15 min. late (instead of early), mom finally gave in to allowing her (TomTom) to direct us back to home. Some 14 min. and 7.3 miles later (after dark), I pulled into mom's driveway. Asked later why mom took me on such a round about way, she said that was the only way dad knew how to get there - after >20 years living in the same place. He made that trip sometimes more than once a week. If he had the TomTom, they would have saved over 10,000 miles and 20,000 minutes of drive time. I don't know how to put a price on time saved in your lifetime, but I can say it's got to be much more than the price of a TomTom.
By the way, that 7.3 mile destination was the funeral home. Dad had just passed away. I think I'm getting one of these for each of my boys, so they don't waste their years of taking the long way home. -- Want to go there - it will find the fastest route!
THis is a nice GPS considering the price. Its 5 inch screen is great. Doesn't have bluetooth or voice control like the 920 which I had once owned. The one thing I hate is the window attachment. It really takes getting used to. Its nice that its compact but it is hard to attached to any other GPS I've owned over the years. But for $150 it's a really nice GPS that will get you where you're going, even though the Text To Speech is one of the worst. She can't pronounce spanish names and living in California, we have a lot! -- A good GPS for $149
I ordered myself a Tom Tom and was so happy with it I ordered one for my husband and another for my sister for their Birthdays. -- Very happy!
We changed from another brand GPS so we had a little more learning curve. Now that we are able to move around and read the screen better, I like the TomTom better. I especially like the visual lane change screen. The unit advises which lane to be in and has arrows on the screen to show the options. We drive a big RV so all the information I can get the better.
-- Good Unit
I had a Garmin but wanted to update to a larger 5" screen. Was leaning towards another Garmin, but after reading many reviews on a compatible one, I decided on this particular TomTom. It does operatre defferntly but it is not impossible to learn how to use it. I really liked the way I was able to set this one up via my computer. Its GPS tracking seems almost on the money as to where your vehicle is, that was something I was not used to with my old 2007 Garmin one. I like it's thin profile, large screen and all the details on the screen. Glad I made this TomTom my choice this time around. It will be a keeper for quite a while. -- GPS
