Good Points
It has all the features you could want, clear maps, quick position fix (even indoors), re-routing, postcode searches, personalisation of the main screen detail, and lots more.

Bad Points
The traffic receiver and re-routing isn't reliable (so far).

General Comments
I had an early Tom Tom sat nav and liked the format, but they didn't offer updates after a year, so decided to upgrade. The new features are excellent, the dynamic routing is quick, the graphics are easy on the eye, and the start up time is amazing. However, the traffic function spends most of its time searching unsuccesfully for traffic updates, and when it did recently advise of a roadblock, it wanted me to drive away from the start of it and back into the middle of it! It doesn't give me confidence. I like it as a straightforward drive-me-to-it sat nav, though, after checking out plenty of others.
