All tom toms present problems. Some times the tom tom GPS is crazy...send my in circles, or to diferent destination., , but in general terms, is good.

TomTom makes great GPS units. While smarts phones are great in a pinch; when you travel to areas that don't have reliable cell service, the TomTom kept me on track. This one offers a split screen to show you traffic lane directions on exits and turns. It took a couple hours to set up initially because you have to download the maps, but updates are quick.

Large screen, user friendly interface, informative directions, split screen on on/off ramps, a must if navigating is part of your job.

This TomTom is to replace my older model which cannot be updated due to the age of the unit. I love the bigger screen size, which makes it much easier to see while driving. The only issue I had was twice the gps told us to take the exit after we already passed the exit. Both times it was for a welcome center. Other than that I am very satisfied.

Thanks for the great review, Nannyoftwo! We're really glad to hear you and your new device are settling in well together. It's a shame to hear it got a few of the exits wrong, keep an eye on this, make sure its updated, but if you continue to have problems, just let us know. Cheers, Sam at TomTom.

@ first I really didn't think it would be a great gps for the price I got it for. But after using it for my self and the lifetime maps. It will pay for it self in the long run. Great for anyone that did not opt for the 1k plus nav in your car.

The Tom Tom is easy to use and has a big enough screen for viewing when mounted on the dash. Sure beats using navigation on the phone.

We had no problems with it at all and found the features to be very handy. The pictures make your route extremely clear and the color choices available make the screens easy to see no matter whether it's day or night.

I shelved my old tom tom because I would be about 10 miles outside the airport by the time it picked up a signal...by which time I was already 10 miles in the wrong direction.
This one grabs a signal almost immediately. Money well spent

Tom Tom once again has the best GPS for the price. The only setting I can't figure out for this one is the current traffic line like there was on my old Tom Tom. Once I have that, I will like this one just the same.

Hey, we think so too ;)
Thanks for leaving this review! We're really glad that you like using your VIA 1515M. This model does not feature Live Traffic, whereas your old one sounds like it was a Live device.

This unit is ok. Gets me where I need to go most of the time. Got it as a "deal of the day". No real time construction or traffic on this model. It has also taken me 30 miles out of the way when I went to a state park with multiple sites. Only upside is lifetime updates are free.

Needed personal GPS for travel in Europe. The GPS itself was fine. Website to download naps was cumbersome. And extra maps were expensive

Overall it gets me where I need to go.
I rarely leave my state. I don't like how it keeps suggesting comparable roads from other states.

Its a cheap GPS, but works a little better than i had expected. Its not by any means amazing but it gets the job done, The touch screen is a little weird and isnt set right and theres no way to calibrate it. When typing in an address it makes you go threw a million steps instead of just being able to just type the address out like google maps.

I like having a GPS other than the one on my new phone. I bought this one because the one I had (& liked) was destroyed in a car accident. This one meets my needs quite well.

I had a TomTom for years, but it finially gave up the ghost. I am not one to buy ANYTHING on a spur of the moment without doing research. My thoughtful wife bought me a Garmin for my Birthday, but I had already read the reviews. While the Garmin had more features (that I didn't need), the TomTom had higher reviews for half the price. I exchanged it (not pleasing my wife) for rhe TomTom VIA1515M and am quite pleased with it. It does everything my old one did and more.
I'd buy it again
