TomTom VIA 1605TM

 

The TomTom VIA 1605TM is a top-notch budget GPS device, thanks to its sharp 6-inch screen, solid feature set, and fair price.

Massive, sharp screen. Accurate routing. 3D lane assistance looks great. No ads

No Bluetooth hands-free support. No HD Traffic plug-in support

There's no HD Traffic support. You still get TomTom's older real-time traffic service, which isn't updated as often, but works about as well as it can. During testing, I found I could rely on it most of the time. I've always preferred TomTom's vertical...

The large screen and ease of use are great. Much better than our old 3 1/2 inch Garmin in size and function. Husband says he would recommend.

Great GPS with awesome big screen

 

I purchased this around May and have been very happy with it. I was a little nervous at first because I saw some bad reviews here but I am happy I purchased it. The screen is really big which is what I wanted and the Lifetime traffic and maps is a...

not bad

 

I bought this GPS on BF from Costco at $129.99. Opened the box and started to use it, when I left Costco. However, It did not fulfill its job during the first try. It did not recognize a county highway, which was started in use in July, 2011. Since...

Excellent GPS!

 

Having tried several in-car GPS (Audi & Mercedes), rented Garmins and owned a Navigon I can say without doubt that TomTom's VIA 1605TM with the 6" screen is the best GPS system I have had the pleasure of using. I read elsewhere that it was slow, but in...

mounting system

 

The mounting system is horrible. The unit itself is a great unit. It would not stay on the windshield so i put the dash disc on (which i did not want to use) it still falls off after a while. Very dangerous while driving. Very poor design.
