I have the Tom Tom it is very easy to use you can have it up and running in 5 minutes. The documention is poor and it took me a day to add the compass feature to the screen. Luckily most everthing is user friendly battery life is about 2 hours without the cable connected which is not much so leave it plugged in. This unit will do the job and will boot fast.

The TomTom 920 is a far superior product. Far more feature rich. I highly recommend it.

I have a Garmin 255W and a TomTom XL340S. I am giving my daughter the Garmin and keeping the TomTom. Both are great units but the TomTom blows away the Garmin with useful features. The Garmin's voice is better as the TT has ploblems with Spanish street names. If I were to choose I would choose the TT but the Garmin is very good so whatever you choose, you will be happy.

Hi K. Ness, I just bought the S10 3t 2 days ago in Seattle Fry's for $499. Since then I upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium (a must if you want to truly enjoy the multi-touch features) and now looking to upgrade to 2G RAM (less of a must as the netbook is performing really well already but I'm used to laptops and using MS Office so I want the extra speed). Regarding the GPS and WiMax that's the bit I'm struggling with at the moment. I keep reading various take on wether it is included or not. Same with Bluetooth. None seems to be working for me despite finding all the drivers on the web (drivers which are meant to be for the S10-3T which is the unit I have in my hands - btw typing this reply with it at the moment). There's also a slot for a 3G Sim Card which I have inserted but no luck there either. Probably because this is such a new product there's still no support page on Lenovo support website. So to summarise this is a great netbook/tablet PC (nice capacitive touch screen, large keyboard, decent performance) but I would have liked to see more out of the box support and documentation. Does it have GPS, WiMax, Bluetooth, 3G support ? I'm frustrated to say "I don't know" despite having the device in my own hands. So Lenovo I suggest you formally and clearly document what's in and what's not. One last thing the speakers are pretty poor compare to the iPhone's which has less physical space. But overall still a great piece of technology for the price as you get the best of both world (a netbook and a slate) and I highly recommend it.

Hi Jill,Thank you so much for this information. I was set on returning my Mio C520 because it didn't say the street name but the specifications mentioned that it did TTS. In any event, I am now keeping it. I was thinking about the Nuvi 250W with less features and more money, but I like the MIO C520 for the price. Thanks again.

Go to www.TomTom.com/getstarted the new devices use a web based updater not the home software.

Hey, Andrew, I bought the TomTom One 125 at Christmas. I bought one for myself and one for my mother, who will probably never use it, but she doesn't use anything we get her for Christmas anyway. The TomTom One 125 works great with Macintosh. When you plug it into your Mac (I've used it with my MacBook), it will ask you to confirm on the GPS that you want to connect to your computer. It will then show up like a Disk Mount on your desktop. You should also download the Tom Tom Home software for Mac, which works great as well. Once your GPS is attached to your Mac, you can do things like update maps, buy new maps, buy voices, buy different icons, etc. More importantly, you can join Mapshare to get the latest corrections to maps. The 125 is basic, easy and cheap. You're right. But, that's the great thing about it. I didn't want a video player, .mp3 player, etc. in my GPS. I just wanted a GPS. The mount that comes built in to this thing is also great. I love that it is compact and that it was under $100. Hope this helps!

Same thing. Unpacked my 255W and ran the updater and it just died. Software System Missing. What a piece of crap... I plan on taking it back to SAMs and buying a Tom Tom.

Buy the Garmin. I had a Tom Tom Rider 2 but it "went south" after 4 years and there was no service. There were features on the Tom Tom that I liked better but the screen was too small and it would not connect to my headset consistently.

Hi, best thing to do is Email trail tech they will tell you which version you need. The items that vary are the sensors so make sure you get the right one. THey are really quick at replying. CHeers

I got the TomTom 3 yrs ago and it still works well for me. The only reason I got it was the world maps. Compared to today's units, TomTom or Garmin, it's basically an antique. There are so many more features available now, you have to decide on what features are important to you.

I think it has a later model that came out...not sure what model that was. Go to the Tom Tom site and check out the latest models. The newer models seem to be getting better. However, this one is really good. I bought this for my daughter to use, and she loves it.

Thank you for your reply Sagib, it is very helpful. I think I have now decided on the TomTom one xl due to your comment and the fact that it has a much larger screen. I like the street call-out on the Garmin Nuvi 350 but I think the larger screen outweighs that option.

I used it traveling from Germany to France just last december. Coming back to Germany i realized some major roads where outdated, it was as easy as hooking up the tomtom to my mac, create a username on the lifetime update for my unit and there, updated maps for free!!! Beware that they are quite heavy updates, so depending on your connection speed it may take a while.

I would assume the Rev. 3.0 boards are the more advanced ones in their line(more worth a purchase), but I have no clue. I did some Googling, had trouble finding much info on it. :<

I had the TomTom ONE 3rd edition and got the Nuvi 200 today. The TomTom's graphics are crappy but thats about it. In short, everything else is much better in the TomTom. Buy the TomTom. Nuvi 200 is missing a lot of things that the TomTom has.

Only you can decide the better deal. If you take a look at the matrix chart on this page you will see some differences. Do you want TTS? The 205 doesn't have it. Want Canada and Alaska maps? The 205 doesn't have it. As far as discontinued, models get discontinued all the time. That does not mean unsupported.You also might want to check out the professional reviews at gpsmagazine.com to help you decide.
