5.0 out of 5 stars Don't think twice just buy this refurbished unit !, March 2, 2010

This review is from: TomTom XL 340-S 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator (Factory Refurbished) (Electronics)

This is my 3rd Tom Tom and i always buy them refurbished beacuse they look and work new (Comes with a 6 month warranty) ! I got the unit out of its box and immediately hooked it up to my computer. After a few seconds the unit started and connection was made ( if you never had a tom tom unit, it will download the software for you) i immediately clicked on "latest map guarantee" and it told me that there was a new map available and it was free for me to download ! It took me afew hours to do the download and get the new map and now i have a brand new map in my refurb unit :) I turned the unit on when i was in the car for the first time and it took 5 seconds for the unit to find where we were !
The screen is very big so it is very easy to enter address and do the settings. The lane assist feature is great now i know where to stay on the highway and never miss a turn. I used it under the train tracks( Bronx NY) and just like my older tom tom never lost any signal and kept up with my speed and turns. IQ routes are great it knows where there will be traffic (gets this info from mapshare not live traffic but uses historical data) and suggests other routes for you to take. Map share is great so even if your map gets old you still get updates from other drivers so it is like getting free maps everytime you hook the unit up to your computer.

I had been skeptical in ordering a new gps. After having difficulty with the tomtom one i had bought a few years ago. tomtom xl 340s, exceeded my expectations further than i could imagine. with updated maps and virtually no blackouts, i would definitely recommend this product to anyone interested in a gps.

5.0 out of 5 stars We Love Our New Tom Tom!!, February 10, 2010

By	Vivienne Davies (SLC, UT, US) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My husband and I have wanted a GPS for a long time. I chose the Tom Tom due to the pricing for the value and because all of the reviews were so good. Several reviews even compared the Tom Tom favorably to the Garmin, in which I understand is a great brand as well. It is easy to set up and use.

It had a lot more options that I was not aware of. It is amazing what it can. I did not expect the walking directions and the time tables, short cut or alternative routes due to construction, or that it could locate any service, retailer & restaurant that is closest to your current location, and you dont even to to tell it where you. Tom Tom knows. Afterall, he got ya there!

I also like that you are able to turn the voice directions up or down/on or off. It really helps when you need reading glasses to see the screen but can't drive while wearing them!! :O)
