This model apparently suffered from a malfunction of some sort as it overheated and refused to remain on the map page. When it was working, it seemed to work efficiently, but was not able to recalculate an alternative route. Having read reviews that raved about this unit, I assumed that I might be able to resolve the problems with a call to Tom Tom's help line. This proved futile as there was never any contact with them after repeated attempts over three days. Finally, I decided to purchase a Garmin Nuvi 1300 and tested the two systems side-by-side. When the Tom Tom continued to malfunction, I decided to return it and keep the Garmin which worked flawlessly during my trip from California to Florida.
As for the comparison test, Garmin's screen was exceptionally more legible/visible, it recalculations were quick and correct, and functionality was more intuitive and user friendly. I did, however, like Tom Tom's Blue Tooth functionality better than Garmin's, but that's is hardly a reason to choose the Tom Tom!
