'Our XXL's EasyPort was prone to popping off while adjusting.'
'TomTom's trademark mount can be tricky to tighten, but it helps keep the unit simple and compact despite its large display.'
'A now-standard 4.3in touchscreen is easy to see, even in direct sunlight, and the interface is intuitive - more so, given that you can limit what menu options are shown onscreen.'
'Plus, the unit doesn't power down automatically when you shut the car off, adding another extra step to the process, or leaving you with a dead battery more often than you'd like. '
'Generous database of 7 million POIs. '
'The new "50" series models also include TomTom's "IQ Routes," which calculates fastest routes and travel times based on historical data for road travel speeds rather than posted speed limits, and one of my favorites, Advanced Lane Guidance, which speaks and clearly displays the correct lane for your next turn on a multi-lane highway.'
'The XXL 530S is capable of providing full traffic detection and avoidance service.'
'This new TomTom GPS system gives you freedom to apply map correct to your own maps and share with other user as well receive corrected maps from other users.'
'If you don't, then the GO 530 has a built-in FM transmitter, so you can tune your car stereo in and listen to your music through that - with the voice direction commands piped through as well.'
'The touch screen is very responsive, and the large LCD makes data input a delight.'
'Points of Interest and Traffic Searching the 6 million–POI database is easy, but it can be time-consuming depending on how you do it.'
'slow performance'
'Magellan Maestro 5310 interface
A slider bar on the right side of some menus makes it easy to quickly scroll through large lists, though it is not available on POI screens, where it could be very helpful.'
'The Maestro 4250's points-of-interest database is a bit outdated,'
'new case design'
'Bluetooth compatibility was poor'
'The $400 Magellan Maestro 4250 and the $300 V7 Nav740 have much in common: slim, compact cases; bright, 4.3-inch color touch screens; detailed road maps for the United States; listings and locations for millions of services such as gas, lodgings, and (most crucial of all) coffee fill-up stations; and user interfaces that were fast and generally easy to use.'
