I used to shudder at trips alone. I can't read maps...and I always used to get lost. Now, with teh TOMTOM GPS, all I have to do is type in where I need to go. I like the all the extra features it has. You can choose points of interest, parks, shopping centers, find a restaurant or gas station near you etc. As you drive down the road, little icons pop up such as bank names, atms and gas stations, so you can easily see what's around you if you need something. The only thing I don't like is the price of dowloading new maps. Mines a few years out of date. Being out of date can cause you to have pld information on new roads and exits. But even if you have old information, it will just recalculate and tell you where to go. It seems for the price of a new TOMTOM, you should be able to download new maps for around $20. They actually cost twice that much. Still, I would be lost without i! No more maps! I've never seen any construction notifications either.
