Great GPS for Great Price

The GPS is very reliable and does not take a long time to catch the satellites.
I have 2 issues with the GPS. 1) The interface is a little confusing and there is definitely a learning curve so may not be the most appropriate for the "tech" challenged.
2) The traffic feature is dependent on your phone is if your going through some rural areas or if you don't have the best reception you will not have traffic which shouldn't be a big deal in rural areas but you cant connect unless you go through your phone which can be tricky if your traveling alone and plan on going into or near a city.
All in all I am really happy with the GPS as I mainly drive between 2 major cities and almost always have cell phone coverage. It was also helpful once I figured out the interface and how to actually put a destination into the GPS. I have had a Garmin GPS in the past and it has had some real funny ways of getting me from point A to point B so I am a Tom Tom fanboy.

I bought a TomTom - GO 50 S 5 GPS with Lifetime Map and Traffic Updates - Black this summer. I find it very easy to use. I like the traffic updates and spoken directions features. I would definitely recommend!

I bought this GPS when my daughters are moving in to their dorms in Florida. My old GPS all of a sudden is no longer working so no choice but to buy a new one. Best buy has many options and I picked the one I think is user friendly and more features.

Works great now that issues with IOS9 have been resolved. Navigated us around DC amazingly well during recent Papal visit. Voices could be a little louder, and don't use voice commands, so not sure how well hat works, and menus not as intuitive as Garmin, but for us re-routing capability outweighs these.

Works well except for some of the addresses are missing. Would like to have options for voices. It appears that there are several options, but none of them seem to work except for the default one.

Gets you from point A to point B. The extra steps to update the maps is useless as well as the tragic updates through your phone.

Product is great till now, and it is pretty useful. Cannot search for certain kind of locations on the map though which seems quite useless in some cases.
