TomTom VIA 1435TM

The TomTom VIA 1435TM is a high-end model in TomTom's new VIA series. Sporting a 4.3” screen, the VIA 1435TM offers lifetime traffic and map updates (hence the TM in the product name). This model updates a previous unit, the very popular TomTom XL...

Windshield mount is dependable and easy to attach ; Excellent voice command responsiveness ; IQ Routes historic road speed database ; Intuitive interface ; Extensive customization options ; Map Share allows you to correct maps and share corrections...

Suction mount doesn't perform well with universal friction mounts ; Mount is not powered; you must connect the micro-USB cable directly to the device ; Slow to lock onto satellites ; No multi-destination routing ; Touch screen response lags a bit ;...

My biggest concern about the VIA 1435TM is the Bluetooth implementation. As far as everything else goes, most TomTom fans will be quite happy with the new VIA series. The core functionality (navigation) performed very well for me and voice command...

Only if I could use it!!!...

I thought I was buying this for me but I guess I bought it for my 17 year old son. He likes the voice control and lane guide features. I think it wlll be great for him when he goes off to college.

Not happy!

I had a Tom Tom before and it worked just fine. But it was so old, the maps were outdated and I though instead of paying for updated maps, I can just get a new one. So I got this one. When I first got it last November, I wasn't doing much traveling....

This is a GREAT GPS

I have read a lot of the reviews of this product and I found most of the negative reviews to be for reasons that had little to do with the product itself. The positive reviews seemed to mention a lot of the strengths of the GPS, so I decided to...

This is my third TomTom GPS.... I gave the others to friends and family, then bought the 5" display Garmin LM50. That was really a mistake, as the Garmin's graphics were "cartoonish" at best, and there was limited customization. Also, the Garmin was...
