I bought this unit refurbished as indicated. I was worried about the possibility of not coming with the latest updates to the map (see the commentary on the TomTom ONE XL-S Unit renovated), but I went ahead and bought the same that he was frugal. The GPS came well packed and had no stains or anything on him. I used it for the first time in several days of traveling to Phoenix, where I really had the experience of the functionality of the device.
Some positive aspects:
– 4. 3 inches is nice, and I recommend this size of screen 3. 5 “models. />
and some negative points “
– the instruction manual is a joke. Fortunately, I had a vague sense of what to do because I have used GPS once before. />
– you can get the street names spoken voice generated by computer. If you choose one of the voices sound human, the function of the street name will not work.
– whenever you download a new map or update the card, you lose your favorites. You have to manually enter or save the file before upgrading.
– took me forever to understand how to delete a destination, once I was already en route. Since there is no help in the instruction manual, I had to start pressing areas of the screen to get the device to exit the menu screen to the right!
/>
In total, the unit works well, even if the street names mentioned may be a little “difficult to understand at times. I would give it 3. 5 stars if I could.
Bought this camera for the big screen and the street name instructions function – used for two vacation trips to unknown areas and so far it’s everything I expected. Very precise, good education, the correct pronunciation of street names and very quick diversion if grip Wrong Turn.
First unit I received was that tommtom not update maps for free, but Amazon quickly sent me a unit that maps current substitution and free TomTom Home without problems. Amazon is really behind the items I purchased through them.
I tried to know what GPS device to buy for some time. “Each manufacturer makes many different versions, it is difficult to choose what is best for you. This is a great model makes almost Way Road all I want to do. It is also renewed, I was worried. But it worked perfectly, and I just returned from a trip of 2860 miles. TomTom was a lifeline, especially when driving in New York City. It is easy to use, it worked right out of the box, and now I can not imagine driving without it.
; The only thing I considered was the SD memory. This model does not have one, and when I download the maps, I knew I had to cancel some other features that I download the memory, because there was not enough. Memory is not enough to keep the card package and some other things. But if you do not need or want some other bells and whistles (which n ‘ is really not necessary), and you just want to be able to move, it is a great model. And he did all these other things, such as Bluetooth or MP3 player. But who needs that when your GPS the phone or iPod while
Overall, I am very pleased that TomTom, and very happy with the price of renewed model.
Urge everyone to buy this product if you really depend renewed. All economies of the “new” products, because:
1. The cards must be updated at a cost substantially above the cost of the product of a “new”. If you do not depend on the updated maps, GPS then this would be perfect for you.
2. Limited warranty of six (6) months vs. normal one year warranty.
3. Hasseling with customer service to know what the units are not equipped with updated maps. Amazon magazine printed by R. Ned June 8, 2009, who said he had received the updated TOM TOM Customer Service. Very misleading and seems to be boardering unfair and deceptive sales in most states.
GPS is great and very profitable, but the updated map is incomplete.
I bought both this one and the 130-S of the Amazon, both Refurbs. < , br />
The 130-S was [. . . ] Dollars less, but it is larger and has a battery life of 3 hours instead of 2 hours. I think it also has a faster processor, but can not be 100% sure on this point. You can decide if it worth the upgrade.
GPS is 1. 6 PointsOfInterest, then download free online corrections, input and icons car. A note on the rumors, only computers have something interesting. The rest can not do text to speech, making them useless. So you have 1 male and 1 female downloadable Integrated voice that is usable.
Features-wise, the last GPES have a lot of waste which increases the price. The main feature is that it is text-to-speech (the-s at the end), which deserves the [. . . ] Of dollars in prizes. This GPS is very good to get to where you go, so you must buy one. Do not listen to MP3 files. . .
The biggest problem is getting the latest map guarantee. If you’re lucky, you can connect and download the latest version. This was the case with my first GPS. No worries.
If you’re lucky, you have expired. In this case, you should call customer service. Would you say that is not honored for Refurbs. So the choice. . .
A bittery) Whining / begging / crying / whatever to get the customer service to give you an updated map for free. (It worked for me)
A1) Keep up call to get a favorable response.
B) Back of the unit. (Yes, he said we can go back to TomTom, but its only a strip of paper.)
C) Keep it and use 1 or 2 years, maps.
d) pay [. . . ] Dollar and buy the time card.
D1) Pay [. . . ] Dollars and get a subscription for 1 year. (Companies like them because you forget to cancel)
