Question: Tom Tom Dash mount removable or no? How is it attached to the dash? A friend and I are going to be sharing driving duties using his car for an upcoming trip through California (where window mounts are illegal) and I'd like to be able to use this GPS without ruining his dashboard. Is the adhesive permanent? Are there other dash mounting accessories available?
Document: ex: avoid highways, scenic route, avoid certain roads.PRECISE DIRECTIONS: the tomtom will even tell you what exit number to take or which lane to get in.Time and reliability: The tomtom found me a new and much quicker way to the golf course saving me minutes off my trip.CONS:MOUNT: My #1 complaint is the mount that comes with the tomtom. It can be put either on the dashboard or the windshield yet the tom tom has fallen off from both positions. My Suggestion: BUY A SECURE MOUNT to place the tomtom wherever you want and prevent it from falling.Battery life: I find myself charging the tomtom quite oftenCharging port: hard to get the usb end of the cord into the tomtom (while driving)Starting up: for some odd reason the tomtom will sometimes need a couple minutes to find a gps signal.Other than that I am very pleased with the tomtom one XLand I would highly RECOMMEND IT!
Bought this product for my mother who is very bad with electronics. This Tom Tom is so easy to use she hasn't had a problem. The screen is also bigger so she can see what's going on without having to stare at it. Finally it comes with a mount that just suctions to the windshield so you don't have to permanently stick anything to your dashboard if you don't want it there. Good investment!
There are other mounts by others which maybe better yet this does work for me as of now. I was unhappy that no household ac charger came with unit ,just a car plug, so had to again buy from others. Amazon should really carry these 2 or more several accesorys for the Tom Tom line. I will in future probably purchase a spring steel mount which also fits onto vents on dash of heat and ac Shutters thru others again.
My husband and I have been enjoying this GPS. We like that it is portable. It is usually in my car but when he travels to a city he does not know he takes it with him in a nice padded carrying case that came with it. I have been amazed that the suction cup that holds it to the window has never come off. We have been on some jarring roads and it stays put. It has been a help to both of us in finding new places without the hassle.
Awesome GPS for the money. Not sure if I'd pay retail for it, but it was a deal of the day so i figured i'd jump on it before going on vacation to somewhere i'd never been before.Along the way and because traffic was crazy for all 8 hours of the trip i decided to try to get lost. The GPS didn't even miss a beat, picked up signal approx 10-30sec after passing the exit i should have taken or taking a new unplanned one. either way it was a long drive but it was interesting without getting lost and trying to find out where i was.I've used it numerous times since then and haven't had an issue, haven't updated it yet so we'll see how that goes if i decide to, but it works perfectly right out of the box so its not a high priority.tl;dr : excellent GPS for the price that works right out of the box
Dear TomTomI really like your device, but I am driving a car on a road and not mailing a letter. I first noticed this when I took your GPS unit to California on a vacation. It did a wonderful job of getting me to where I wanted to go. As I was driving along all of a sudden I get the verbal instructions to "Turn right on Queen Mary (naw,  I couldn't have heard it right)" than in a few moments it repeated itself again. ""Turn right on Queen Mary Doctor" Yep!
I bought the Tom Tom just before leaving on vacation and was not sure if I would be able to easily figure it out and how to use it but after a short time on the first day of our trip it was up and running and worked perfectly - getting us through 5 0r 6 cities without confusion to to some remote addresses of relatives. I am 75 years old and not always savy with electronics. It was easy to use and I would highly recommend it. We did find that you want to talk to it from time to time but that kept it interesting!
- with an exclamation point, as if IT was frustrated with ME.Remember, I am doing all this while on vacation. I finally stopped wasting time on it and put the unit away for the rest of the trip.A working GPS unit would have been invaluable on our trip - we did a lot of driving during the trip, and made a number of wrong turns. Unfortunately, the Tom Tom let us down.That's been my experience with this unit - the less I know about the route, and the more I need to rely on the unit, the more likely it is that it won't work.
This Tom Tom is an excellent choice for the first time buyer, who doesn't want to spend a lot on a great GPS system. On our trip to New Orleans, and driving around the City of New Orleans, it was a breeze! We didn't have to stop and ask for directions once! Put in where you are going or look up the Point of Interest, and you are practically there!
The battery is limited to not more than 2 hours. Otherwise, it needs to remain plugged into the cigarette lighter -  a bit limiting when wanting to walk with the unit.' Also, beware of where you mount this unit. I mounted it on my windshield (below the rear view mirror, as instructed), and it falls off once every hour. Mounting it on the dashboard probably is better . . . it also won't fall as far.Overall, I am happy with my purchase. I think a smaller screen (less than the One XL) is useless, as my taxi driver was also explaining.
Answer: You can also purchase the small (I don't know what they're called) gel type pads that several places (Brookstone, Sharper Image, etc) sell for using in vehicles to lay your cell phone, MP3 players etc.  They don't have adhesive on them but the type of material they are made of will hold in place and then they hold whatever you lay on on them w/o adhesive.
