Comment:
I have used this product on several trips including one three week trip recently. I programmed my Mom's information (where she was staying, her likely sidetrips, etc.) into the unit and sent her on her way. She is a little technically challenged but she managed quite well with this little device.<br /><br />I don't like the mounting apparatus for this product, but I purchased one of those weighted donut things that you set on the dash of the car and it works fine.<br /><br />This device easily self adjusts when I take a slightly different route than it recommends. And I can tell pretty easily when I should turn around because that route is wrong.<br /><br />There are a few little niggling issues that I have found. Sometimes the unit turns itself on while stored in the console of my car. I have gotten in the car and heard talking only to find that 'Tom' is awake and ready to go. Of course, this drains the battery.<br /><br />Another irritation is that sometimes it can't find itself. It can take several minutes to finally connect to a sattelite.<br /><br />Thirdly, I am the type of driver who often turns around in parking lots, etc. Tom has a hard time negotiating those turns and often tries to send me off in the wrong direction. It would be nice if it could ignore small, tight turns until the vehicle is stopped at an actual road.<br /><br />All in all, I really like this device. I have actually purchased three of them. I have one, I gave one to my mom and one to my teen aged daughter. They are great and priced right.

Comment:
This unit is helpful in at least getting close to where you want to go.But there have been times it was completely off course. I guess the technology will get better in time.
