🗺️ TomTom Via 1525SE: 5" GPS Navigation Device with Free Traffic, US Maps, Advanced Lane Guidance, and Spoken Turn-By-Turn Directions Review

Nice big 6 inch display! The problem is that you can view and not! We like to use our GPS as a digital speedometer. But with this TomTom, you can't see your speed or the applicable speed limit unless you're following a programmed route.

If you update and then go to the About category on the GPS itself, it…

i have had tom toms for over 10 years and each unit had a great attachment system, it held onto the windscreen and was easy to remove. GPS and reinstall but the system on this 1525 is difficult to install and removing the GPS from the windshield mount is almost impossible.
