Functions well and as required. I had to relearn the system as I was used to older TomTom units.

Cannot comment on durability since I haven't had long, but previously owned Tom Toms were durable. Easier to use than my prior Tom Toms.with more features. Can use in a walking mode as well as a driving mode which is great when hiking or in a new town where there might be a pedestrian zone or a park that you can go through when walking, but not when driving.

Bought this for my dad... He loves it. And the main reason that we purchased it was because of the lifetime traffic updates.

I purchased the Tom Tom GPS solely for work, so I thought. I actually use it for personal as much as business at it is convenient to find places that are new in the area. Very easy to use, great price as well.

I have an older model of TOMTOM and I moved up to this newer model. They have added a lot more graphics into the new one. On initial use of my new TOMTOM some of the changed ICONS confused me. After using it on one trip I became used to the new ICONS and the new dropdowns used. The larger 5" screen is a definite plus. I enjoy using this newer model. The lifetime maps is really great also.

I have a lot of trouble with the touch screen when using my fingers, I don't know if all GPS are like this or I got a lemon. I have to use a stylist for a better touch screen response.

Hello 50inchPlasma, I am sorry to hear about the unpleasant experience you had with the TomTom GO 50. Please note that, compared to the GO 500 and 600; the GO 50 comes with a resistive screen that requires more pressure when entering data than for instance a smartphone. Should you feel that your screen is not working properly, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Care Department via this link: http://bit.ly/1gPzRRD.

The TomTom Go gave me an effortless drive to St. Louis, Mo. to adopt a rescue dog. It will tell you traffic jams and accidents, speeding cameras and such, but you will be using the data plan on your smart phone, which can be expensive if you don't remember to shut the data stream off after your trip.

Make sure you have to cord snapped into the plug on back of the unit. I thought something was wrong because the battery wouldn't charge and the screen stayed black, but I didn't have it plugged in correctly. Excellent GPS mapping. This is our second [my sister has my first one]. There was no question about what brand to choose when it was time to replace it.
