Tom Tom 140-S Review

Thanks for the link.

I like my Garmin mount and found this:

Nice Job - Thx

I tried one out for a day. Not bad but TT still hasn't fixed the terrible pronunciations and errors with the computer voices.

The screen was as bright at 100% as the Nuvi 260 set at 50%. It sounds like a lot but it's not that much. The TT has a warmer screen where the whites were yellowish rather than the bluish white of the Nuvi.

It recalculated about one to two seconds slower than the Nuvi but I had the IQ routes turned on. The sound is very, very loud at 100%...too loud. I used 40-60%. I really liked that the sound increased at higher speeds. Helps on the freeways.

Other than the usual differences between a TT and Nuvi, the lane assistance and junction view and what I mentioned above were the only differences between the TT and Nuvi. The TT is great if you like all the customization tools. I liked some but not all. I really wish there was a master list where you can turn all features on, set up the unit, then turn off all except what you need day to day. I don't need the calculator/guides/cities/or many pois everyday.

The 140S was a fun unit to use for a day and a great bargin at $169 considering its feature set.

I'll stick with the Nuvi because as much as all the extra features a TT has can be fun, I don't want to fiddle with the GPS too much going 70mph.

I'm not sure what fiddling you had to do with the unit while driving once it was set up. I don't have to make any changes to my GO 930 after I have it set up the way I want it.
