I was able to update my refurbished unit to the latest maps through the downloaded software “tomtom home”. The map update was free, same as with the brand new units. You get one for the first 30 days of ownership, and the tomtom home website recognized my refurbed unit as available for a free update. Other posts have commented variably on this.

A comment was made about an poor manual.. In the box is only a basic start up guide, but the detailed and easy to understand manual can be downloaded from the tomtom support website.

The audio and selection of voices are fine. The suction cup is a neat and very usable idea. The unit will recalculate your route if you take a detour, therefore avoiding the endless ‘turn around’ commands of some. It will also recalculate alternative routes to the end position should you choose.

The screen resolution is fine and bright. There is a choice of map displays for night and day use. 2d and 3d views can be selected.

Entries are made by touching the icons on the screen… really simple. That makes navigation around the menu very easy and the menus are intuitive.

I found that putting in an address is easy: you pick a state, start typing in a city (it will predict which one when you get in enough letters), do the same for the street name, and then touch in the street address.

Points of interest included within the memory are more than adequate for me, and more can be downloaded from tomtom home. That is, the unit has a list of parks, airports etc without typing in their address.

The refurbished price makes it a great deal too. The unit looked perfectly new… no indication it had been refurbished.
