Slow and unreliable GPS
931912
The GPS does not quickly and safely find you a new route nor does it quickly locate a new address for you (especially another state). It takes 15 to 20 minutes to locate the new address you entered. Four times in a row we had to sit on the side of the road or in a gas station waiting for this GPS to give us the information to get back home. Every time we changed the state it stopped or froze up on us sitting at 70% locating new location. We had child in the car at times and it was not good to be stuck in a bad area of town waiting for the GPS to work!! Also, the maps are not good and it does not take you on the safest or shortest routes. The maps need updating.

I would not recommend this GPS to anyone!! Buyer beware!! Go with something like Sony (I had this one and lost it, very good GPS),Pioneer, Global or  Moonar. They might be foreign but they seem to work better than Garmin, Tom Tom and Magellan.

Well the GPS never worked, i contacted the customer service and they sent me some instructions unfortunately did not work. The rest of the features worked normally. I'll return it.
This is an issue that was faced by several people. Please be careful before buy it.

I was contemplating buying one of these.  However, when traveling from King of Prussia, PA to Oaks, PA.. two sizeable towns outside Philadelphia.  It could not find OAKS, PA.  If the Garmin or any other GPS is supposed to save time and money, for the amount of money they're asking for... it should be complete!!  I would hold off buying a GPS until they get better.

We bought this just over a month ago, and I'm extremely frustrated and disapointed. This GPS is unreliable, and possibly even dangerous. It frequently gives directions to drive up one way streets the wrong way, or onto "no entry" streets. I tried all the free map updates we could find on the Tomtom website, and then called Tomtom's customer support when that didn't fix the problem. I was told that there was probably a "glitch" in our unit, and that we should purchase new map downloads from the website.

Needless to say, I'm not impressed with the suggestion that I need to buy updates for a brand new unit. Given my experience with the product and Tomtom's customer service, I will never be buying another product from them again.

Bought this gps knowing that magellan isn't known for being the best gps product out there but i liked the wifi.  took it on a trip and it got me lost 3 times.  It claimed to know the location of certain businesses but we would arrive and they would be no where in sight and we would find them 2 miles further down the road.  This has occured multiple times and I am currently trying to get rid of this p.o.s. to buy a garmin. you have been warned.

I bought this unit from amazon and had trouble with the first and returned it for a second.  The second had the same problems.  The GPS would freeze up, wander off the road into the middle of of the desert.  It would show the icon going down the road sideways or 45 degrees off.  If I switched views, then it would start to work again or I would have to do a soft reset.  At times I would have to reset it every 5 minutes.  HP had no good advice and tech support was poor.

When the unit worked I loved it.  The wireless was great, the tomtom software was outstanding.  I really wanted the GPS to work because of how much I liked the PDA integration and how it operated.  I'm hoping HP will find a fix and I will reconsider this item in a few years.  Too bad.  It had great potential.

This is the worst GPS unit I've ever used. I bought it less than a year ago. It continuously looks for a GPS signal and can't find one. For the price it should have lasted longer.

Ive had nothing but trouble with this unit.
I continuously lose GPS satellite locks during flight meaning I have no GPS location. Ive sent it back one to DUAL and the re installed the firmware. This seemed to work for a very short period.
It works on the ground but often takes up to 20 minutes to lock onto satellites but will not work in the air at all even when the iPad internal GPS works fine as does a $99 Garmin Glo.
The AHRS drifts so after a few hours of level flight it shows a 50 deg AOB.
Ive just returned it again and Ive been told they will send me a completely
New device.

I am not good with tech stuff and this is OK but takes a lot of fiddling. I bought it specifically because it was supposed to be a good device for both biking, hiking and automotive navigating. It is pretty marginal in my hands for automotive navigating. It usually fails to find whatever I type in to search for and does not tell me how far away the next turn is or when my arrival time is estimated to be. As it turns out I have to purchase special (24K) maps to use it for hiking.

What I like is the Mapping & Road directions. This unit was to replace another Magellan Roadmate RM6230 which froze up all the time and battery went bad. So I replaced it with the 5322 and I did not see no real improvement. It was slow and mostly the viewing of the screen was very difficult to see, especially during a sunny day. I  tried to get customer help on what other models would be better, but long story short, we went full circle with them and ended up returning this unit and buying a Garmin and we very satisfied with this GPS.

Sadly, it just did not work enough of the time.  In a patch of woods near Boston, a major metropolis, either the gps or messaging was offline for 15-22 minutes at a time.  That is during live tracking.  Not functional for me.

I thought I was upgrading from my older Garmin 730, but what a mistake. Others have covered the pitfalls; slow response - FM based "free" traffic traffic with ads all over the screen, terrible CPU - very slow, and the user interface is terrible. Screen scrolling is non-existent and when you do find a location, there is a big information panel that surrounds all the adjacent streets.  I really hate this device and am shopping for a new one. This is worthless!!

For the price, this GPS unit is fine; it does the basics in a nice, small package. Unfortunately, there are drawbacks such as a lack of text-to-speech (it doesn't read out street/road names, but what do you expect for the price?) and an extremely small number of points of interest.

More distressingly, I can't get this unit to work properly, as it continually locks up and reboots itself when doing even the simple tasks, such as calculating a route or finding points of interest. In addition, occasionally, all the roads from the map would suddenly disappear. Odd.  Perhaps a firmware upgrade would remedy this, but I expect a product like this to work fine out of the box.

It is not as good as the older one I had. It gets confused often and does not send you in the right direction. If you don't have some idea where you are going, this GPS could get you in some real trouble. Would not recommend.

i think GPS technology still has a long way to go - don't get me wrong its amazing that you will never get lost, but the software is slow and very laggy, maybe i am too demanding in the functionality i want. when i input a route, it takes like 5-10 minutes before the software updates, figures out where i am, and the right route.

i feel i paid wayy too much for this thing and in hindsight i wish i waited until more evolved, faster units come to the market.

i do use my GPS very frequently, and it does work ... so i guess its alright

I use my friend's GPS (same make and brand). Takes some time to acquire satellite, esp. when changing countries. Works very well in the US but only so-so to badly in my home country. Touch screen is old school, have to press really hard to have an effect. And now sometimes the voice command confuses turn left with turn right.

I bought this to replace an old Magellan. The reviews made it sound really good and the price was great. I also bought it for the lifetime map updates, something I didn't have with the Magellan. The first thing I noticed is that the touch screen is not very responsive. It is more like a touch and hold screen. It takes awhile for it to function. I hooked it to my computer for the updates as indicated in the booklet that came with it. It took over an hour for it to update. The first time (and only time) I used it I was very disappointed in the performance. It continually lost GPS contact even though I was on an interstate highway no where near a city. One time it lost the signal for more than 5 minutes. I glad I wasn't trying to drive through an unfamiliar city at that time. Imagine driving 65 mph on a highway and have the GPS unit tell you to turn left in 150 ft. That happened several times. The unit had us on a side road and was trying to get us back on the highway. Time to find a new navigator. I am returning this one. Luckily I bought it through Amazon so the return process is very easy.
