Summary: 5 Stars
Thinking back to the first GPS device I ever owned (the TomTom One) and how much I plopped down for it got me to pondering the many pros and cons of technology. It's always advancing and it's always coming down in price. Am I mad that I spent over twice as much money on my original TomTom One when compared to the new TomTom 140-S? Naaaahhhhhh...my original TomTom One is practically a member of the family. How could I stay angry at someone who has guided me through the frantic Los Angeles freeways, helped me find address with pinpoint accuracy and guided me home through the deserted back country roads of Illinois? Sure the little guy may have cost me a little more than I wanted to spend, but where would I be without him? Lost...that's where...
Well, look out GPS enthusiasts and people with no sense of direction...the TomTom One is now better than ever. Introducing the TomTom 140-S, TomTom's best in the entry level category. Let's cut to the chase...what's new? Well, for those familiar with the TomTom One there's quite a bit of added features to the 140-S that you may find worth it. Here they are:
- Spoken Street Names (that's right, gone are the days of simple turn left & right directions)
- I.Q. Route Technology (a GPS device that's self aware...echoes of Terminator 2)
- Advance Lane Guidance (holy cow is this a time saver)
- Fold & Go EasyPort Mount
Let's start with the Spoken Street Names feature...for a lot of people this is a biggie. For years GPS owners in the entry level division have been stuck with basic "Turn Left" of "Turn Right" verbal prompts from there TomToms. Well, not anymore...we now have Text-To-Speech technology at an unbeatable price. Drivers will now hear actual street names spoken to them as they drive instead of the general navigational commands they're used to. For example: Instead of hearing "Turn Right" you will hear "Turn Right On Jackson Street". For many drivers this is a groundbreaking feature for a GPS of this price...also considered by many as an added safety feature due to the fact the driver doesn't have to take his or her eyes off the road to see which street to access.
The I.Q Route Technology is another fabulous feature worth mentioning. As you use your TomTom 140-S it learns which routes are faster basing it's conclusions on it's many arrival times to chosen destinations. Say for example you are trying to get from Pasadena to LAX on a Monday morning to catch a flight, the TomTom 140-S would understand that using certain major freeways during morning rush hour is not the best route, given the traffic congestion. So it will automatically choose a better, more efficient route avoiding crowded freeways, getting you to the airport quicker and ensuring you don't miss your flight.
Advance Lane Guidance...how did I ever live without this? Sure my original TomTom One is amazing when it comes to navigation but there were times where I was a little confused on those insane Los Angeles highways with multiple exits that lead to more exits that merge into on ramps which lead me to a manifold of off ramps...get the idea? There are times when I'm looking at three exits at once, knowing I'm supposed to be on one of them because my TomTom is telling me so. I consult the TomTom screen, it has my route outlined but the exits are so clustered together I have trouble telling which one to take. I play a quick game of eenie meenie miney mo and merge...only to find I'm on the wrong off ramp. Of course it generously re-routes me within seconds but I always feel a little embarrassed in the presence of my noble TomTom device. No more! The new Advance Lane Guidance is a feature that will have many singing praise. As you approach your freeway exit (or multiple exits) the screen cuts to a much more detailed route outline, basically like your looking at an exact image of what your seeing when you look out you windshield. This makes merging so much more convenient and is just another of many helpful features included in the TomTom 140-S.
The Fold & Go EasyPort Mount is another small blessing. For years I've "reached my destination" and, after parking, had to pack-up my TomTom One, putting all the pieces (the unit itself, the suction cup mount, the cigarette lighter adapter) in my book bag. At least with the new Fold & Go EasyPort Mount I can simply fold the suction cup mount into the back of the unit, instead of having to dissconnect it from the TomTom device and find a separate spot inside my book bag to store it. This is a step in the right direction and it is one that is much appreciated.
For the technical data: The screen is a small 3.5-inch LCD. I actually prefer this because of it's compact size, after all I'm not watching a movie in anamorphic widescreen...I'm simple getting directions. The actual product dimensions measure 3.6" x 0.8" x 3 inches and weighs 6.9 ounces. The TomTom 140-S also has a little brother, the TomTom 140. If you are looking at both products and are indecisive about which one to purchase the only difference between the two is the TomTom 140 does NOT have Text-To-Speech technolgy. Meaning you will not have spoken street names read to you. This may or may not be important to you, you can decide for yourself though.
As far as the TomTom name itself...I feel they are the best GPS devices hands-down. I have maintained for years that Garmin GPS devices are good but have a lot of hype surrounding them. Being an owner of both over the years I have got to use both names and TomTom has always come out on top. Whether it's routing, points of interest, map detail or product features TomTom has always impressed me where Garmin has lacked.
