Customers praise the VIA 1515M 5" GPS for its ease of use, accurate GPS navigation, and lifetime map updates. Many appreciate the screen size and find the device to be a good value for the price. While some users noted that the battery life could be improved and the volume could be higher, the positive feedback on navigation and features outweighs these minor drawbacks.

It does its job, but there is a learning curve. The touch commands are not intuitive. Also, it's not particularly useful when out of a vehicle. For instance, the arm that attaches to the dash or window is permanent. If one uses it for directions when walking, it's sort of bulky to carry. I solved the issue by cutting off the bracket.

Hi Oldguy, thanks for the feedback. The suction cup mount is actually fully removable. Using a ball and socket joint arrangement with a small notch cut into the ball. If you line that notch up with the high side of the socket you can pop the ball out. We built it this way in case of damage to the suction cup and to allow the mount to be swapped to an Air Vent attachment if required. Patrick @ TomTom

This GPS is easy to use and comes with a stand. I've used it and would recommend. It automatically updated maps and doesn't update traffic info but that was expected.

Hi sms82!
Cheers for leaving this review. We're happy you like some of the features!
Indeed, this device does not make use of our Live Traffic service. For this, you will need to buy one of the newer GO Models (520/620). As a workaround on your VIA 1515, you can purchase an RDS-TMC receiver for localized Traffic reports every 15 minutes or so.
Hope that helps! Best,
- Cameron at TomTom

Replaced an old Tom Tom. Used it for awhile and then started using apps on my phone when I upgraded to a new phone.
