Nice review , easy to understand your voice. I would of liked seeing some of the stuff you were talking about on the actual GPS screen . I had a Tommy 720 but now have a navman that gives nothing but grief , even had it replaced with a new unit but the new one was still crap Supreme 6 is the go for me

Hi Chris! Great review!!! Good job! Not sure if I missed something on your review or it's never been mentioned it. Question? For example you know exactly location you're going but you don't know the address. Can you just point/press on the map with your finger to show exact location and then system will show you the route to that location you pointed from your location? Just like you can do on your phone, Android or iPhone. Thanks a lot in advance!!!

Thanks for your support, I want to apologize for not reply promptly I needed to test out my gps to answer your question honestly. To answer your question you can put in a name of a place and the gps will pull it up, however for accuracy you want to put the city that it is in first. Here is an example Stuio Movie Grill Arlington,TX, I'm going to have to put Arlington, TX in the gps then the name of the place I want to go to.

@@chrisdavis4032 Hi Chris! Thanks for a quick response!!! That's the tricky part. I'll give you an example. We love hiking, for example, I found a great trail. But there's no physical address of that location, just trail and small road heading to that trail you can drive your car. What I do on my Samsung Galaxy smartphone, and I think you can do it on any smartphones with Google maps, you just hold your finger on that spot for second and it drops a little point like this 📍. Then you just click on Directions button and it gives you the route. Honestly I never used any GPS system before except my phones. Recently we were traveling in the area where it was no internet available and I thought may be I can try one of these systems. Not necessarily TomTom, some GPS will take us back to our base, home or other final destination. Still in search. Don't worry man if you can't find the answer. Thank again!!!

Chris... Thanks for doing the video. Please consider giving yourself *front* light instead of having a strong light behind yourself when making the video. When there's strong backlight behind a subject, it really messes up the color and contrast of the foreground. It makes an effect like the "person who doesn't want their identity known" for an exposé type of journalism. An easy solution would be a small desklamp with a flexible neck that you could put on a desk in front of you and point right at your face and workspace while you make the vid. Having a light that is also slightly above your head level is a good idea too, but can be a little harder to achieve. Good luck.

I've had a couple TomToms. I think the one I currently have is a TomTom GO 60 S. My 2016 Ford pickup has this stuff built in but my experience when comparing them is that the TomTom is more accurate. Also easier to see up on the dash. So, I just got an email from TomTom saying they have this great FLASH deal ($149) going on for the next day and a half. I'm thinking I might go for it, hence my search for good reviews. I liked your review. I wonder though, if there is something on the horizon that will replace this (moments after I buy it - ha). How are the traffic and safety cam alerts brought in? Do you have to 'bluetooth' your phone to the TomTom for that stuff to work? To me, that constitutes a PITA . . . . Just sayin'.
@chrisdavis40322 жыл бұрын
Thank you for responding, there are more advanced gps out now. But to answer your question about bluetooth the gps can alert you of speed cameras without connecting to bluetooth. If you want to connect it to your phone you can through bluetooth.

Garmin DriveSmart 55 and Traffic, GPS Navigator CONS: -Slow start up and navigation -Bad UI with difficulty accessing favorites/save locations. -Poor battery life, drains way too fast, can't hold charge. Unit feels like it's running on a near expired battery despite the $200 premium price tag. -New generation of Garmin GPS feels more clunky to use PROS: -Clear map -Good crisp voicing ---- I'll try out a tom tom instead after your review and see how it goes.

I have TomTom Go on my phone, which I love. I bought this so I wouldn't have to use my phone all the time. It's pretty much a the same as on my phone, however I get quite annoyed that it loses traffic data fairly easily. I would have to reboot the device as well as my phone. I've loved TomTom over Garmin since it's the most accurate with road closures, traffic data and accurate speed limits of just about any road that has one

Trey Trey unless you need to update your gps they all should be working with satelite. But in your case get a gps that has a world map. The one I am showing only has a map of Canada, U.S. and Mexico. The one you get will be more expensive but it will be higher quality.
