Dysfunctional GPS led to disastrous hike

I purchased this product to accompany me on a hiking trip, but it proved to be woefully inadequate. Electronics seemed outdated and navigating was a struggle. As a result of my tests, I determined that this product should be discontinued.

Pros
  • None notable
Cons
  • Poor functionality, outdated technology

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Absurdly poor update process, slightly clunky user interface

The TomTom XXL 540S navigates well on most trips, although it has literally led me to a dead end on more than one occasion. But the real problem lies in the clunky software and user interface. The "Tip" screen is more like a "press-and-hold" screen, and updates are more of a horror show: slow loading followed by an error message saying there's no space for it on your device by the way (paid, more expensive) item, so we simply stopped the process and left your device in perfect working orderโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Reliability

Good value for money, but still room for improvement.

I have (and use) a TomTom One XL-S sat nav and have decided to buy an XXL 540-S, one for each car. Apparently TomTom doesn't understand that their customers want to have 2 GPS devices at the same time and their online system won't let me buy a map of Brazil (where I live) for the new device because I already bought it. for the old device. I contacted support and found out that I need to create a new TomTom account with a different email address (fortunately I have several) in order to buy mapsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Updates
