      Hey Khan,

      Thanks for leaving this review. Unfortunately our navigation devices are not designed to be connected to a car's Bluetooth system. Some of the devices have a Bluetooth functionality, but this is primarily used for hands-free calling.

      Is there anything we could do to turn those 3 stars into 4, or even 5? Let me know!

    After the third time using the GPS, it constantly says searching for a signal. It doesn't ever find a signal though. TomTom tech support has not been able to assist in anything other than providing me with different phone numbers to call.

      Hi there,

      Really sorry to hear you've had some issues with the device not finding a GPS signal. It seems like this device could benefit from an update - we strongly recommend doing this as soon as you receive it, because it may have been on the shelf for some time before purchase.

      You can update the operating system and maps on your device by using MyDrive Connect. Follow this link to download the program to your computer: http://bit.ly/2whUu3C

      From there, simply log in with your TomTom account and connect your device via USB. Check for updates. The most important one in this case will be called QuickGPSfix - once installed, this means your device will find a satellite signal much faster.

      If you need any further support with this, please give us a call! We'd love to help - 877-757-7137 (Monday - Friday: 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. EST).

      Wishing you a safe time on the road,

      Hi, thanks for taking the time to leave this review.

      Does the map update reminder pop up on the device, even after you have attempted an update? In this case, it may be that the updates aren't completing successfully. Sorry for the frustration this has caused.

      Please give us a call and we will be right there to help - 877-757-7137 (Monday - Friday: 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. EST).

      Cheers,

    Complete Waste & Poor Navigation

    I connected this to my PC and allowed the updates, etc per the instructions and this still wasn't good. I was late for appointments with this because in the middle of navigation it would completely stop. Several times I would look down and see it was no longer responding. My iPhone works better. Returned and back to using my phone.

    The GPS on this device is terrible and can never seem to find my location or the address I am heading to. I purchased this as a replacement for my phone, and it was completely useless.

      Hi there, we're really sorry to hear that you had some trouble with your VIA. I agree, it sounds like the GPS was not quite up to scratch. Sometimes if your device has been in storage for a long time it may find it difficult to locate the satellites but, after a quick update normally that should be straightened out. These updates are really important and help your device know where the the six satellites most recent location was (thus, a quicker more reliable connection).

      I'd just like to confirm, have you tried updating at all to see if this has improved anything?
      If you have and your still not having much luck, or you need help updating, let me know I've got some more handy tips I'd be more than happy to share with you. 
      Cheers, Sam at TomTom. TomTomInc.

      Hi there,

      Indeed, the interface is a little different from other manufacturers. It may take some time to get used to, however there are lots of resources out there to help, and if you're really stuck, a quick call to support will help!
