TomTom GO 510

Review: The TomTom GO 510 GPS is an excellent navigator. It is very easy to use and compact too. There are many features, like route planning, saving journeys and there are maps available to download from their website. I bought this product because it was...

Pros: Interface is easy to use.

Cons: Software crashes, unit crashes, bad maps and poor signal acquisition

Review: We now call this 'TomTom' 510 "JunkJunk".

In any city in the US, it takes 10-15 minutes to acquire and lock onto a GPS signal/satellite. The map was 3 blocks off, which in a city is huge.

On my iMac the TomTom software crashes...

Pros: Very user friendly, easy to use, clear screen, excellent directions, an all round neat item

Cons: cant think of any

Review: Very user friendly, easy to use, clear screen, excellent directions, with traffic enabled excellant to avoid traffic jams an all round neat item

Pros: Nice display and operates out of the box

Cons: Missing many points of interest and poor construction

The Bottom Line: If I paid $300 I would have written a very different review. But at $600, look for something else.

Review: The unit works out of the box and is easy to use as stated, however there are many shortcomings one needs to be aware of. Rather than re-hash everything that is on the website and easily obtainable, I will focus on an honest and candid review after...

Pros: Easy to use, accurate, very smart.

Cons: RELIABILITY!!!!!

Review: Bought 2 of these, both brand new. The 1st lasted one day before it wouldn't switch on again. The replacement second unit lasted 2 days before exactly the same problem occurred. Lost all confidence in the device and did not wish to replace with...

Pros: 3d display, Good Voices, maps, ipod control, traffic weather option, tons of options

Cons: Lack of POI, POI Gui, phone support, mount, traffic cable

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this unit because it has a great display, tons of options, and it's very user oriented

Review: I was looking for a unit that can work with my business and for everyday use. I was looking at the Garmin C550 and Tomtom 510.
Paid $535

Dissapointing POI compared to Garmin. The TomTom lacks many shopping poi, for example it's...

Pros: Nice, vibrant display screen in daylight or at night.

Cons: removing unit from base adaptor is difficult.

Review: I like this unit. I can recommend without hesitation. It served its purpose and has given me accurate directions in the 7 states that I've traveled through. Its a steal under $400 dollars. I paid $599.99 cuz it was spanking new last summer. Customer...

Pros: Was good when it worked

Cons: Stopped working after a day.

Review: It worked fine the first day. On day 2 it just would not turn on. Will return the unit for a replacement. I hope the replacement unit does not have similar problem. Searching other reviews, I find others users have encountered similar problems!

Pros: Screen, ease of use, customer service, PC and web site usability.

Cons: Map accuracy.

The Bottom Line: I would heartily recommend this unit, but for the map accuracy. I am hoping this will be addressed as they have said it will. Until then, consider your needs carefully.

Review: I purchased my Tomtom 510 new from CircuitCity three months ago. I live in Boston, but travel frequently on business and take it with me.
Let me address the dreadful comment first. My biggest frustration is the accuracy of the maps for the USA...

Pros: Do not have much good to say.

Cons: The thing does not work right. Spend your money elsewhere.

Review: I bought my 510 at Radio Shack. I was leaving on a trip and was in a hurry to buy. The 510 worked ok for the first few days. After that it navigated well but the graphics cast a double image, which makes entering data almost impossible. I turned the...
