I imagined I’d give an update immediately after 6 months of making use of TomTom XXL 540TM GPS:

one) I’m still very happy! It is the 1st GPS I’ve utilized that “just works” and I’m glad I do not should mess with it.

two) I’ve mastered the system of adjusting the display position though concurrently holding the suction base. Again in May well when I initial reviewed it, I was worried about how ‘easily’ it popped off. Now, it will be still bothersome, but I’ve minimized the quantity of instances it transpires by holding it appropriately. It would not annoy me ample to purchase a unique stand/holder.

three) The suction cup still holds on very well. It hasn’t fallen off yet. (I attach/detach from the windshield each time I use it.)

4) Targeted traffic Receiver: I’ve been happy with alternate directions/road closings. It can be very correct, even in rural locations where by I didn’t assume road closures to be displayed.

five) Long-distance travel: I’ve utilized it to get a number of extended trips (1000 miles) and had no challenges by any means with it. I located the ‘estimate’ of time to be incredibly accurate. It was no greater than 10 minutes off. (I calculated the time I stopped for gas and extra it to the original estimate.)

6) Battery life: I’ve located the battery life to be holding rather less charge than it utilized to, but nothing at all that I experience is alarming. A lot of the time, I’ve the power cord connected anyway (so I can seize the traffic updates using the antenna constructed in to the cord.)

All round, it is my favored GPS. I’ve been hooking it as much as the pc less and less (which means I’m forfeiting new ‘map share’ corrections). I even made a decision To not get the latest map update. Why? Well, I experience everything is working just high-quality the way in which it is. I may well update if I’ve the free time. It is in sharp distinction to my preceding GPS experience, where by I’d pray for updates to fix stubborn issues. The TomTom is just high-quality and I’ve had no key complaints. I’m NOT out there to purchase a brand new GPS simply because I’m finally satisfied.
