Mediocre device & undependable customer service

 

Device is okay. Screen is big and touch interface is responsive, though nothing top of the line or fast by any means. I bought my TomTom Via 1605 to be the replacement for the in-dash GPS I relied on with my other car.I'd hoped to be able to load a few...

big screen, lifetime updates

seems like there's always an update, and don't plan on TomTom's help for anything

Great co-pilot!

 

Lots of bells and whistles - great information once you figure it all out. Easy to read with the extra large screen and I love the speed limit notice - helps in unfamiliar territory and construction areas tremendously.Fast and easy updates keep the...

tons of features- size of the screen easy to see and follow

the attached mount doesn't always stick the first time and it has fallen off

Second TomTom GPS... Keeps getting better

 

The large screen is perfect for my daily business driving. I can easily glance and see what is going on without losing my focus on the important matter at hand... driving safely.TomTom has developed a nice web interface, which works directly with my...

Large screen and speed of results

Rather than a "twist" lock on mount, I'd prefer a "thumb latch" mount

Better value for money than older TomToms

 

I bought this to replace my TomTom GO 930 which has maps of USA and Europe as standard. That one just failed after 4 years. This VIA 1605 only covers US Maps so I will need to buy the UK & Europe map separately and add to a Micro SDHC card. This model...

Very clear screen and menus

Just a little slow on responding to menu selections, only minor niggle

Worst Tom Tom I ever owned

 

Bought it because I owned an old Tom Tom Go that's about 12 years old and worked excellant and decieded a new one would be even better, WRONG. It took nearly 15 min. just to get it to recognize any Sats. I updated everything just as they reccommeded...

traffic light warning

nothing seems to work very well or not at all

Nice sized GPS for the price.

 

I have a 4.3" TomTom but decided I needed something with more screen and more map capability. I really wanted a 7" but couldn't find anything with reasonable ratings. The 6" works well both in my Prius (stuck to a closed cup holder) and in my Voyager....

They have crippled the unit

 

I have been using Tom Tom devices for about 7 or 8 years now, this is my third Tom Tom device. I have never liked the 3d view offered by GPS devices, I have always opted for using them in the 2d straight down, North up view. That is how I used my last...

Large screen

Nice unit

 

The unit has a nice display, volume is good and it gets me from here to there as needed. The points of interest have panned out as expected. I was surprised by the network of reporting that shows stoplight cams and speed traps that was a plus. Well...

Ability to see stoplight cameras and police speed traps

Power cable is thick
