TomTom GO 2405TM 4.3" Portable Bluetooth GPS Navigator with Lifetime Traffic & Maps Updates + $30 Worth of Gas $110 after $30 rebate + Free Ship to Store (expired)

How does it compare to the garmin earlier today?

The stats look pretty similar. Both have bluetooth, lifetime traffic, lifetime maps, 4.3in screen, and lane guidance.

Main difference I see is that garmin is refurbished, but tomtom taked a little extra effort to get the $80 price.

Also I read some reviews on the Garmin on walmarts website, and some have reported Garmin not honoring the lifetime map updates on the refurbished item.

A couple things I like about the TomTom was that it had the capacitive screen with multitouch gestures and swiping. Also I really like the mount it has with the magnetic holder rather than the snap in type on the TomTom one's. I can't comment on the Garmin for these features.

Ultimately I guess it's up to personal preference.

My personal preference is that I would go through the extra effort for a new product, and I've had good experiences with TomTom in the past, so I'll stick with them.

Does TomTom's traffic also ad supported?

wow that's a pretty good price. a new GPS with everything plus capacitive touch screen for under $100!

Which is better, Garmin, Tom Tom, or Magellan?

anyone know where I can get a cheap car charger replacement with the traffic thingy? both of mine broke the exact same way (the inside contact of the charger plug went bad, something related to the spring it seems)

Purchased Garmin 1390 refurb for $80 (earlier Walmart deal). Should I buy this Tomtom and return the other one? I haven't tried many GPS, and just used the very basic TomTom small one for a while and lost the same. Looking for a new one. Any suggestions?

I have an older tom tom GO, it is not that good. I got lost with it couple of time!

I've had Tom Tom for years stared with a 510, upgraded to a 720 and based on the Cnet review of this, I'm upgrading to lifetime traffic and maps.

#1, you can get lost with anything. #2 a cheap Tom Tom is cheap, so the budget versions don't show the power of the Go line. Anyone that has been in my car has said that My GPS beat their "fill in the brand".

With tom tom you should update monthly via the internet and you are fine. They have the best map system out there.

HOWEVER, there service can be frustrating.

i stick with my insigna gps for $30 from worstbuy

What's up with the $30 Gas Rebate. It is not like folks are not driving enough. A simple $30 MIR would've been sufficient.

I've got an older TomTom GO and I'm very pleased with it. Some notes:

1. No, the traffic is not ad-supported. It works well for major roads and highways, but isn't so hot inside cities.

2. I live in the DC area. I have never gotten lost with my TomTom (though it tends to think afternoon rush hour road restrictions are in effect at all times.) My Father visited up here with his Garmin. Where my TomTom tends to know which roads are most congested in town and automatically navigates me around them, his Garmin did not. What is a 30-minute trip for me from MD to VA became a 60-minute trip for him.

I went ahead and purchased it, $117 after tax/ship. I'm upgrading from a Garmin (refurb) I purchased almost 2 years ago from Amazon for roughly same price, but voice directions no longer work, She just sounds like she is gaged, and not audible. My Garmin still had 2009 maps, never updated and it caught up with me a ton of times, because my line of work as a private contractor has me going to 5-10 new destinations a day.

This new GPS with Lifetime Maps/Traffic, and voice direction that actually work, is more then worth it for me. I will just sell my Garmin to a friend or co worker for around $30

I elected standard shipping, who do Walmart typically use for shipping? (UPS, Fed Ex, USPS?)

The whole $30 rebate is icing on the cake, but why they make it so weird? Why not just cut us a check for $30, instead us buying gas, scanning receit.....or just send us a gas card instead?
