| About This Brand |
|---|
Founded in Amsterdam in 1991, TomTom now has offices Europe, North America, and Asia. The company Web site claims that TomTom is the world's largest provider of navigation devices, with sales in 30 countries and online. We've found TomTom devices to be among the easiest to use in our testing, but the company also offers tech-savvy users options to customize their units. Celebrity voices are available, and TomTom invites customers to update maps and POI information, and share it with other users. |

Comment:
The Start 55 works well enough for occasional use and has a large display. But the mounting bracket is shoddy. The TomTom software took a LONG time to correctly install and update the maps. The software is less user-friendly than other GPS devices I have used. For a bonus the software will start every time you turn on your computer and open the TomTom support page until you can figure how to disable that feature.
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
