5 comments about TomTom GO 700 GPS Navigator (Refurbished).

1. Okay, I couldn't resist the completely politically incorrect review title, but I promise, it's the last time I'll go there.
   
   I'm a new transplant to the myriad highways and byways of Metro Atlanta, and simply put, the Tom Tom GO 700 has been absolutely amazing in terms of getting me around town, routing me through, over and around traffic snarls and getting me to unfamiliar destinations on time and without backtracking! The user interface is blissfully easy, and it even links to your Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone to access real-time traffic information, so you can avoid those rush-hour parking sessions at Spaghetti Junction. The unit allows you to preload your destinations so that when you're on the road you can literally just touch the screen to navigate from stop to stop, and the whole thing connects to your computer using the included USB cable and it charges the battery AND updates it's maps and points of interest as required (some updates are at additional cost). Finally, you can also purchase additional voices for the turn-by- turn directions (did I mention that it TALKS TO YOU and tells you when to turn? Well, it does! Amazing, right?), including people like John Cleese and other notables. I personally selected a low, throaty, sexy Brit babe - I figure that if I have to ride in traffic, I might as well get a chuckle out of it. Miss Brit says things like "There's a toll road coming up - do you need a hand getting your change out of your pocket?" and "You've reached your destination - but don't stop just yet..."
   
   In short, the Tom Tom GO 700, at this price, is a luxury gadget that will prove to be invaluable to you if you spend a lot of time behind the wheel and don't like sitting in traffic. I'm going to buy another one for my wife!



2. The only things that kept me from rating this Tom Tom a 5 star is the fact that it had to be reset a couple of times and sometimes it lags for several minutes to find a signal. Having said that I have no other complaints. I made my way through some pretty tight spots where i don't know what i would have done without it. It's my first gps so i can't compare it to others but this does all i need and more. I was a little hesitant about buying a reconditioned unit but It came in looking brand new with everything working and ready to go. fears quelled.



3. Overall this product is great. The many features that it offers makes this well worth the money. It is easy to navigate to a location as well as through the on screen prompts.
   
   The only draw back to this unit being a refurb is that while it is completely gone through it does not have updated software loaded. I had to go to two different locations, TomTom home page and TomTom Home, in order to get the current versions for this model. While it is not difficult to do it is frustrating. Also, there is a newer version of the mapping software that they offer for $99. This should already have been loaded as well.
   
   Overall, it is worth the money and the time to download the updates.



4. I have owned this unit for well over a year. Since I am "directionally challenged" to put it mildly, I now have the freedom to get in the car & go - without fear of getting lost. No more confusing directions from friends & family - Jane takes me where ever I want to go. My son is moving to Houston & we took the Go with us on an apartment hunting trip. We were able to find locations of complexes, places to eat, movie theaters & gas stations without a hitch. Anyone who gets lost on a regular basis should have one of these. Only one caveat - occasionally (three times since I've owned it) locks up when downloading updates. There is a tiny opening in the bottom of the unit - insert a paper clip & the unit reboots - problem solved!

1. The chip is way outdated and the GPS does not identify the street you are to turn on.



2. Thumbs down all the way.
   
   I bought this and had to return it within a week. I have used many GPSs Different brands and models and this is the worst.
   
   It was constantly hanging, and I had to reset it everytime. RESET - not just power off-power on.
   
   Lost signals regularly. Once I was driving on a straight tree lined street (about 2 miles) and it kept recalculating the route every 50 yards or so...
   
   Bulky.
   
   Worth no Stars. Do not buy it.
