I saw this but was already gone when I got to it. However, most of the reviews that I saw were not too complimentary towards it.

TomTom Via 1535

I purchased a TomTom via 1535 at Costco last weekend for $150.

I used to on a TomTom One, then a Garmin Nuvi 1300 LMT...but I missed my TomTom so I gave my Garmin to my girlfriend and went back to TomTom. (She is a big Garmin fan and has been overdue for an upgrade).

It is a pretty slick unit with some good features. But it is missing a lot of the customizable stuff I really enjoyed with the One. Plus, speed cameras used to be FREE! Now they are only available via a service.

Updating the device is now via the web and no longer their Home application. (You can no longer browse and copy files from you device as if it were a USB drive...now it shows up as a network connection).

It comes with free map updates, traffic, lane guidance, voice recognition, etc....but it seems they threw out a lot of the good stuff in order to charge.

I've only had a few days...so not exactly sure how I feel about this unit.
