Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The PC software (TomTom HOME) doesn't work correctly with this GPS out of the box. Plug in, click update, and it doesn't have space (on the GPS to install the updates. That's 100% stock. Activation Code (for lifetime maps, etc) also didn't work. Phone support said mine was the first phone call he had ever received for the 335 product. Had me manually remove all the languages on the GPS other than English (great other than no so helpful if I have someone that needs another language in the car) then try the update again... Failed to write to the GPS on download. During reboot the unit switched to Dutch for a bit... Re-done manually - transfered files over, after slicking the flash space (read from a help forum), and the maps work, but it doesn't work with the FM traffic (included, that's the T in the model name), and the activation code for the updates still doesn't work. Software glitches at such a fundamental level that it is clear TomTom didn't QC the US maps with TomTom HOME in combination with this product (335TM). That aside... Good things on the 335TM: -The mount is great so far, very solid -Routing quality is very good Bad things (some duplication vs above): -Screen completely washes out with sunlight -Zeros are often omitted on spoken directions. Eg, the 405 freeway would be called out as 4,5. 805 would be called out as Interstate 8,5. (coma indicating separate digits spoken) -FM traffic not working with map on the unit -Activation doesn't work -Errors on updates/transfers forcing restart -TomTom HOME tries to install things that will not fit (by default on first click up-date) -TomTom technical support saying future map sets would be broken up, so parts of the country could be left off to free space. This is a new GPS bought in 2010; I haven't had to break up mapsets on Garmin GPSs since their StreetPilot III. 4GB of flash is /cheap/, and all this set takes is a bit over 2GB. Poor cost cutting on the part of TomTom.
