Customers are saying

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.

    Bought this to replace a seven year old model that finally gave up the ghost. It is very easy to use if you are a TomTom user. Accuracy and options have evolved nicely.

    I tried this and a similarly priced Garmin. The routes on this device were quicker and better routes and it was more accurate as far as showing where the end location was. The only features garmin has over tom tom is telling you the direction you’re traveling and a top banner that says what street is coming up if you aren’t actively using a route. Simple and accurate.

      We're glad you like the device. It's a great navigation aid that help you get where you need to be. Who needs other brands when you have TomTom!

      Safe travels,

    I purchased this GPS for my mother who loves to travel but is always getting lost or missing her turn or exit. I was worried that this would be a gift that would never be used because my mom calls the mouse on a computer a "rabbit". So I wanted to make sure the device was user friendly for the technologically challenged. I set everything up on the GPS and gave my mother one tutorial before releasing her on the road. To my surprise, she loves it and found it easy to use. Great product!!

    Good product over all. But I hate that I have to update it. I wish it could connect to wifi and update itself. I doubt I will ever take it out of the car. It is hard to use at first because you have to enter the address backwards with state, city, street, number.. It makes it harder. The buttons are a little challenging since its touch screen and sometimes doesn't want to recognize which thing was pushed. It would be awesome to have a voice activated one.. "ok Tomtom" But overall great product for price. The representative even gave me a discount in store, since I found it cheaper online.

    This is our second TomTom and we are very happy with both products. This one has a few new features that the previous unit does not have and we were happy with that one. The new split screen is nice and the size of the screen is just right. The only issue that I've had with the TomTom is that occasionally it doesn't recognize a new change in the road pattern even though I've done the updates. I haven't had an issue with this new one yet. I'd recommend this product.

    We all have phones with GPS but it is nice to have a stand alone while traveling. This unit is large, easy to use and has a simple interface.

      Hey Matthew,

      We think so too! Always better to have a stand alone unit. Thanks for writing this review.

    Good size screen and reliable. I did enjoy how this specific navigation has the speed limit on it which i did find accurate. Gotta keep trying it out to see if there are any problems which is none so far. Just a little laggy at some times but nothing that a little patience can't solve.

    Been using this for a few months now and it has been really easy to navigate with. No real lag and the interface is very easy and clear. The only thing that would have made this a 5 star is if the suction cup adapter could keep this attached to a cold surface better. As soon as it gets close or below freezing this thing falls off as the car warms up.

    In an attempt to cut costs I terminated the ATT Navigator App on my iphone and purchased this TomTom. While I have been spoiled by that app this TomTom comes pretty close in performance. Very easy to set up and use. Program on computer frequently lets me know when updates are available. All in all, I'm happy with this product.
