One major downside is that I don't like how easily the device 'pops off' the windshield mount. No built-in SD slot to add memory, either. (I didn't check how much it used before updating.) Not a lot of 'wiggle room' to add more features. After it was done, it took up about 96% of the 2GB built-in memory. (A newer map was available + GPSFix + Map Share.) It took about 1.5 hours to update all of it. The first thing I did was hook it up to my PC and run all the updates. > Slip of paper with 1 code, valid for Lifetime Map/Traffic updates I had NO problems entering the "Lifetime Maps & Traffic" code provided. I sold my Honda and needed a new navigation system.Ģ) Frequent map updates (4x a year + Map Share)ģ) Ability to customize it (lots of settings to play with)Ĥ) Well Known & Quality (I've always heard 'Garmin' is the best, but when I've tried Garmin, I didn't like it!)Ħ) IQ Routes (figuring out which roads were best to use)īy the way, in case you were wondering the "TM" stands for "Traffic" and "Maps", indicating there are free traffic and map updates. Maybe only good as a 'back-up' in case the TomTom fails- though I don't think it ever will. Included for free with the car, but I choose not to use it. I didn't really care for the Ford Sync navigation, as it wasn't a visual navi. I loved the Garmin for being up-to-date but I hated it because it always seemed to change its mind a lot, or direct me into strange areas. I loved the Honda navi for its size, and I hated it because updates were sparse and expensive.

I've used built-in Honda (Alpine), standalone Garmin, and Ford 'Sync' audio GPS navigation devices.
