User Reviews about TomTom XXL 530-S 5-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator

July 15, 2010: I just ordered and received in two days the TomTom XXL 530S GPS. I don't have experience with other GPS but this one sure has made a positive impression on me. I really like it. When I took it out of the box the first thing I did was connect to my computer for an update, and there were several.

It synched very quickly with the satellites, (I live in the boonies) with excellent strength and this, inside my house! I took it for a test spin after playing with it and adjusting some settings, and I am amazed at the accuracy of this thing. The speed is dead on, the location on the road is dead on. I intentionally went a different route that what was suggested and it instantly corrected itself and lead me the way I was going anyway. Amazing.

The only issue I have had, is I haven't been able to change the arrow 'cursor' to a car 'cursor', and I haven't been able to get the traffic light camera update to download. Time will tell but as of right now I am very pleased. I will update this in a couple of weeks and report my progress. -- Great First GPS Unit

This is a great GPS device. Actually it was fairly highly rated by Consumer Reports so I am not sure where the 1 and 2 Star reviewers are finding issue with this product. The screen is larger than most TomToms which makes it easier for people of all ages to see. As a result of a larger screen typing on the touch screen keyboard is easier for those with ....shall we say... fatter fingers. As with this or any other Tomtom product please be sure to plug it in to and update frequently with your computer.

The only logic I can see for some of the bad reviews that I read is that maybe those buyers did not do this with any degree of frequency. Maps are updated ALL THE TIME. When I first opened the box and tried entering my address, it was not in the system. So I plugged my TomTom into my PC and went on-line. There were several megabytes of free updates and downloads available. Once I let my system get through that, my location was correctly added. In addition, I have a couple of friends that live in remote parts of other states and their addresses were also found using the TomTom - something which one friend said a Garmin could not provide.

And finally one of the great things about this and other TomToms is you can download (for a fee) other voices for your GPS device. I typically use the voice of Homer Simpson to get me somewhere and Darth Vader to bring me home. But there are others, to include famous comedians, Yoda is coming out soon, there is Kitt from Nightrider and for those that have children and can bear it, Sponge Bob and Dora are to be released too. Now these voices cost about $12.95 a pop, but in many cases they do add entertainment value to what would be just another GPS device. -- Great GPS

The biggest selling point of this product is its 5" screen and the low price. After owning more than 6 GPSs including 3 tomtoms and 1 garmin, the garmin is the best and tomtoms have better hardware and price. I felt this XXL530S is an average one among my GPSs. -- Big screen at a low price
