 Better than the Garmin Nuvi August 26, 2010
Jimi
I got my wife a Garmin Nuvi 255 and the Tomtom for myself. Both units cost ~$100 at the time (xmas sales). The Tomtom is way better. It's better at pathfinding and allowing you to reroute it to avoid traffic jams, roadblocks, etc. With the Tomtom, I can tell it to avoid specific roads along the path to avoid construction, traffic congestion, etc. There is no such feature with the Garmin. Also, the Tomtom seems to understand when I change my route better than the Garmin. The Tomtom will choose a new completely new route, but the Garmin keeps trying to reroute back to the original route that I'm trying to avoid.
The mounting bracket takes time to break in, but I found once it broke in the GPS stopped falling out of the bracket and it wasn't challenging to get into the bracket. Garmin could have done a little better here.
The one thing I don't like about Tomtom is it advises you to "keep left" at every exit on the highway, which gets really old really quick. I generally don't use highways much, but if you do, then keep this in mind.
 I like my TomTom XL330 August 21, 2010

I'll admit a degree of suspicion when I order the unit. What do you expect for $90? Well, I think I got a lot; I was totally surprised by the functionality and accuracy of this little gadget.
The first thing I did was download the latest and greatest maps from the TomTom site. It took awhile over my DSL but it did not require much interaction which I liked. Think my wife can even do it (I know, I know).
We have made several trips with it and it has become a basic necessity of long distance driving. When I pass a speed limit change on the interstate, it immediately provides a visual indication that I am speeding. It provides concise (spoken) descriptions of events that need to occur on those complicated highway interchanges. Missed that turn, no problem, it will immediately recalculate a new route and provide instructions.
I highly recommend the device be mounted immediately in front (lower windshield) of driver so you do not have to cut your eyes away from the road.
Highly recommend this GPS.
 It's cheaper for a reason--actually several August 20, 2010

I've had a Garmin, Magellan, and now this TomTom. It's been the worst of the three.
All GPSs have the hook of charging you for map updates at a cost of just over half the price of the GPS. Which is why every two years I, and several other million people, buy a new GPS.
All GPSs will periodically give you a false reading. The question is how often. This unit has given me erroneous directions far more often than the other two I've owned. Sometimes it locks on the last location I was at when it was last used, and I have to turn it off and on 2-3 times to get it to register my current location.
What else I don't like:
--After 6 months it quit holding a charge, so I can only use it when it's plugged into the car socket.
--A design flaw makes it difficult to plug the adapter into the unit. I mean really difficult. If you have old hands or arthritis, this is not the unit for you.
--There are too many steps to go thru when selecting a location. For example, say I decide I've had it with the unit and I want to go to the nearest BestBuy and get another. You can't just tap once and then type. You'll have to go thru at least 5 screens to get your directions.
--The mounting mechanism is also poorly designed. You cannot easily adjust the angle of the unit once it's mounted. That sucker just pops right off the mount slick as a whistle. Whether you want it to or not.
--The print on the screen is hard to read.
--The User manual is worthless--very little information in it. And the online instructions are only a bit better. If you're not intuitively good with electronics, you'll have trouble figuring this one out.
What I like:
You can set it to warn you when you go more than 3 miles over the speed limit.
There are far better units out there now. Stay away from this one.

I will make this quick and to the point. "For The Money" you can't go wrong with this GPS. Easy to use right out of the box. TomTom XL 330-S 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS is as good or better than the Garmin 1350 Nuvi or the Megellan 1440 Roadmate JMHO and both of these units are very good I might ad.....TomTom refurbished XL 330-S was half the price and with free shipping from Amazon. Buy one you won't be sorry.
 don't buy it!! July 5, 2010

this is a nice enough GPS unit, but if you have a problem like I did, forget about any real help from TomTom.
for one, they give you 72 hours (3 days) to respond to any response they give, but they don't hold to that themselves. took me 5 days to get my first response. I still have not gotten any satisfaction from TomTom.
I simply wanted a newer more updated map. I paid $49.95 for a download of a map. when I tried to install onto my TomTom, the unit tells me there isn't enough memory. BUT, the software will remove some unused stuff and get the room I need, cool! however, the whole process froze up for over an hour, so I shut it down (no longer online for download, just communication between my HP and the TomTom unit). tried several more times, but now each time it tells me, it cannot free up enough memory for the new map. TomTom support tells me to move the current map to my computer, then I can install the new one... NOT!! still tells me there isn't enough memory. so now my GPS is totally worthless -- it has no map!! several times more back and forth with TomTom support and I am still in the same position. I have asked for my money back for the map (figure I have lost the money to purchase the GPS), but TomTom has taken to ignoring me. at this time I am updating the support question every 3 days to keep it active, but get no answer from TomTom.
BLEEAAAHHH!!!!!!!!!!
