Customer Review: great product
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first car GPS and I don't know who would need more and why. This product does everything I need and the size is perfect - it fits in my jacket pockets easily.
Only one little drawback is that on long trips I can't tell it to use certain roads to use to get to a destination. Of course you still have options to choose a fastest route, shortest etc, but it doesn't solve the "problem". I solved it however by creating some checkpoints in places i needed to go through, so it directed me through these areas.
Also, I found it better when the GPS calls my turns and not the name of the street. The unit tells you to turn a certain distance from the turn and when the turn needs to be made. It is also very easy to see if you need to turn, because the GPS is so precise. It seems to me that the call outs of street names would be more challenging to the driver, but I've never used this option so I don't know how the name call outs work.
I bought it for $149, but i was ready to give $250 for it.
I really can't understand some of the bad reviews here, because some of them talk about things that are not related to this GPS system. Maybe they describe the 1st or 2nd Ed.?
I really recommend it if you're on a budget, and don't need another gadget that comes with mp3 player :)

January, 2008 Update:
I just came back from a long trip to California and I can say that this GPS is one of the few gadgets that I don't have smallest regrets for buying. I can't say enough what a huge help this device was for me during this trip. Every time I thought about the money I gave for it, it made me smile, because I would give much more just for renting it for the trip '. Driving around San Francisco and LA was no problem with this unit. But of course there were some small issues that I suspect every GPS has. On one occasion I missed my turn since it was immediately after previous turn. This was my fault since it had told me before about two turns to the left. After I missed it, it asked me to turn left on the next intersection where left turns were not permitted. I consider it a small issue since the GPS is not supposed to relieve you from paying attention.
This GPS shows the addresses very precisely and not like one of the negative reviewers here said "it will not get you there, but it will get you close". It announced that I had reached my destination at the right time. However I had that issue once while driving in Manhattan, surrounded by tall buildings. It knew I was on the right street, but it didn't know exactly where - it happened once though and I suspect other GPS's would have the same problem in similar circumstances.
Text to speech feature is totally, totally useless. I haven't needed it even once. A quick look at the screen plus announcements was enough for me. I didn't even know on what street name I was for most of the time and it wasn't important to me anyway (it is shown on the screen though). I found all my destinations without problem.
While driving on highways the TT1 will often announce to keep left. I found that it doesn't really want you to drive on the left lane and it is just a warning not to end up on the exit lane on the right.
I was driving through highway 101 where there is a construction at one point, blocking the exit. The GPS wanted me to take this exit, however missing it was not a problem. I just drove by it and the GPS recalculated my route quickly, telling me to take the next exit. My girlfriend didn't even realize that the GPS changed my route.
It is kind of funny that some people complain that this GPS takes strange routes to get to the destination. Why would they use a GPS if they knew the route anyway? But it happens to me too. In my neighborhood it tells me to get to the main highway through a Jewish neighborhood that is often full of traffic. However, just a couple of clicks on the screen (avoid part of the route) puts me on the route I always take. But even that is not important. Just turn to the next street and the GPS will recalculate immediately (no clicking required). However, on Saturdays this is the best route though', since there no traffic at all.
Maybe on my trip I didn't always have the fastest route, but who cares. I always found my destination and reached it pretty quickly.
About points of Interests:
I found all I needed, however I didn't need many. It seems like it has all the gas stations though. On two occasions, while driving on a highway, away from the nearest town, we got craving for McDonald. It found a couple on the route. After about 20 minutes highway driving we were eating. So who cares if maybe we missed one that was somewhere closer and the GPS didn't know about it.
Many people here write negative reviews comparing TT1 to other more expansive units. Just keep in mind that GPS will not plan your life for you. I got a feeling that those people complaining about TT1 and its POI, would complain anyway about details. Maybe it should show every store in America and their open hours. What about restaurant's menus. I'm sure someone will catch this idea'.
Now I just can't imagine how I drove a year ago in Arizona with my girlfriend with a bindle of printed out maps'.
If you used printed maps until now, just go ahead and order this unit. Just don't order the one with white screen issue.
