Great little device, does what I need it to do - tells me where to go/what street to turn on. Mount works for me and is compact. Volume is good, I set it at 70%, and I have hearing probs because I blasted the car stereo (like all you young stupidheads). Display does get washed out in bright sunlight. I added a bunch of POIs using the TomTom Home software. The Home software also installed the user generated corrections & updates to my pirated maps. You can get all sorts of other customizations (voices, map colors, sounds, POIs, splash screens, car icons, etc.) with the Home software. Also allows you to navigate to lat/long coords (handy at times). Satellite aquisition is great, I get reception throughout the inside of my avg 1 story home. Outside I get a lock in less than 5 seconds. No annoying "recalculating" voice if you miss a turn, it just does it. Battery life is about 2.5 to 3 hrs. Had to pirate the latest maps and use a keygen to use them (simple to do if you're wondering). If one of you losers steal it, I'd buy another one.

Thanks #1 for a good, honest assessment of this gps without the garmin this and the magellan that rhetoric.

It sure sounded like a good GPS. We got one a few weeks back and tried it on a trip in the NW. It missed our motel by about a 1/2 mile, we tried to be tolerant.

The next day, we did a tour loop of several mountains. We pointed it to a major ski area. It said that we were "arriving" about 20 mi south of the area. Well, what the hey, we were at the other end of the tour loop, so we continued.

But then we continued with things like routes to restaurants in the area. It told us to turn in the middle of forests - about a mile before any sort of road.

We returned the TomTom 130S GPS.

i got a tomtom 130, which doesn't pronounce street names. Didn't think I would need it before since I never had a GPS. Now I find it actually quite useful. I know the 130S pronounces street names, but other than that, are everything else the same?

I own a Garmin one and never had problems with it.

these are the best, i've been using it for 6 hours drives and the predicted arrival time when i set out seems to take into consideration traffic accidents, construction, and potty breaks, it is always about three minutes off

read a review saying text to speech on this wasn't true text to speech; very limited i guess, anyone experience this?
