Review on TomTom START 50M: Your Ultimate 5-Inch GPS Navigator with Lifetime Maps by Balthazar Cooper

Revainrating 1 out of 5

This is the WORST GPS I've ever used

This is awful! The maps are wrong, my routes take forever to load, and I end up on toll roads even with Avoid Toll Roads enabled. Additionally, when you connect an address, you must first enter the city, then the street, then the house number... choose between each choice and wait for the next screen to load. You can't just type in your address. It's really tiring and boring. Often he can't find the addresses or points of interest I want to find. I was also unimpressed by the sensitivity of the touchscreen. Registering my selection takes too long and often I have to press the button 3 or 4 times before it is selected. What I love about this GPS is the suction cup design on the mount. It's very safe. On the other hand, it takes an incredible amount of force to get the GPS to lock into place. Overall, I really don't like this GPS. It's boring, impractical, and has unreliable maps.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • poorly thought out
