Duration of ownership: 7 Days

Strengths: Easy to use, reasonably user friendly

Weaknesses:Outdated maps

Overall Evaluation: We just bought our Tomtom only to find that the maps for our area (Central Virginia)are out of date by at least 14 months. A new expressway that opened 14 months ago is not reflected. As a result, all of the directions toward the city where we do our major shopping, go to the doctor, etc. would have us going by an old much more time-consuming route. The manufacturer claims they are about to issue new maps but these(1)will be priced, in a special introductory offer yet, at $50 plus S&H and (2) will be available on DVD only (our computers have CD drives only). I can't quite get my mind around having to pay for updating a brand-new product and, at that, having to scrounge around to find someone with a computer that has a DVD drive. As a result, our Tomtom is at this very moment on its way back to where we bought it. Bottomline: looks like a decent product if you don't care how long it takes you to get to where you are headed.

Duration of ownership: 1 Years

Strengths: Ease of Use

Weaknesses:Very Outdated Maps

Overall Evaluation: Although I was very happy when I purchased this unit, I have to say it is dated by now and Tom Tom is not doing anything about updating the maps. Main Roads in NYC are called unnamed roads. As far as I remember the Harlem River Drive is around a good couple of years and should not be an unnamed Road. Developements built 5 years ago in central NJ do not show up on this unit. When I complained to Tom Tom via their support on the net there was no response. Would not buy again

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Quick destination entry, good screen when not in glare

Weaknesses:It's either all of Canada or all of US, never any combination. No backup of US map provided. Screen susceptible to glare.

Overall Evaluation: I'm a short drive from Canada but several days drive from the eastern half of the US. So why doesn't this GPS allow me to have all the maps for a day drive between the US and Canada but insists on me having the maps for states or provinces that are five days drive away from me? Yes, you get the US preloaded on the SD and Canada available on the CD, but you have to swap one for the other (don't forget to save the US map first - TomTom doesn't bother to provide a CD backup!) and can't have appropriate parts of both loaded at once. If you live near the US/Canada border I strongly recommend against this GPS.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Very detailed maps, clear voice instructions and easy to use.

Weaknesses:Locating a point of interest such as finding a COSTCO isn't as easy as it should be.

Overall Evaluation: I have had my Tom Tom 300 for a month now. I just completed a 5 state driving vacation. The Tom Tom worked great. Finding back roads in Utah, Wyoming and Colorado was a breeze. Even places that were way off the beaten path were a breeze to locate. The talking directions worked great. Most of the time, you didn't have to even look at the unit. My only complaint was that at times the sun washed out the screen and locating points of interest if they aren't one of the main types listed took a little time. I would strongly recommend buying this unit or it's upgrade the 510 when it comes out next month.

Duration of ownership: 3 Months

Strengths: Easy to use, helpful voice instructions, portable and fast charging.

Weaknesses:Not updated on new roads and route. Difficult to secure on the dock. Takes time for GPS location.

Overall Evaluation: I love this Tom Tom. I got this version cause its cheaper and I don't need to additional options. I use it for my homecare, just type in the address and your on your way. I never leave home wihtout it. More helpful on giving alternative routes. I had an interview one time, it was traffic. It gave me a new faster route, finally got there.Downside is the difficulty for docking and time to reset on location.Other than that, the best. My friend got his Garmin streetpilot and he needed to return it back cause of problems.
