My New tom tom !!

So my mom surprised me with a nice little tom tom one.
I've never heard of it, But the first thing I checked was for longitude and lattitude ability, and it has it, so im freakin stoked...




Downloading maps and things right now



If you have one of these let me know how you like it !!

My mom's got one of those. I like it, but the voice navigation on the freeway is annoying. You can also get different voices for it and stuff. I also didn't like the responsiveness of the touch screen. It just seems like you have to push it too hard to get it to go sometimes.

All in all, though, I think it's a nice unit to have for road trips, or for the navigationally challenged.

I dont like the voice navi on any of the gps' I have ever used, so playing around with it here in the living room that was the first thing to go off.

Im not navigationally challanged but I do enjoy having one of these in the truck for long trips.
And I know the Long/ Latt problably wont be the best ever for navigation in the back country, but I think it will be ok for getting me near where I need to be...Or maybe very lost...lol we will see...
