Comments about TomTom XXL 540-S Automobile Navigator:
Main dissatisfaction is the windshield vacuum mount. It is very hard to rotate the locking feature. And the rotating ring joint snaps off way too easy. If often comes apart when I'm trying to stick it on the windshield. I intend to shop for a decent dash mount.
I really love and use the very accurate estimated time of arrival. And I think the enhanced lanes descriptions are excellent. But, I thought the XXL540 was supposed to announce the name of the street or road one it going to be turning onto. Mine does not do that! Big disappointment. I will have to check the Tom/Tom web site to see if I misunderstood.
