TomTom has worked quite well out of the box for me. Just remember to use
common sense with it, as with all mapping software. While it will get
you there, it may give you an interesting turn or two that will make you
wonder :Why did it do that?
A neat feature is being to see what services are available at an
upcoming exit, including restaurants, hospitals, etc.
There is a subscription service available which offers much more, but I
haven't found a need for it yet.

Hi All! It's been a very frustrating spring. So far I've replaced my TX
because the touch screen stopped reacting to touch. The new TX is great, but the
GPS unit just - yesterday! - decided that it can't find any satelites. We've
tried resetting everything. The Blue Tooth signal seems to be working on the GPS,
but it's not being picked up by the Palm TX. I'm assuming that all satelites
are in their correct places and the GPS unit I have has been dropped too many
times and has stopped working.
Since TomTom hasn't upgraded their maps to work with the TX since 2005, I'm
ready to throw in the towel and replace everything. So my question is:
Any recommendations for a GPS (TomTom or Garmin) to replace my existing
system? I gather that the new systems do not need to work with the Palm. Rather
they come "complete" and ready to use.
Of course, I'd like something by next week-end as we're driving from
Baltimore to Cranberry, NJ on Saturday, but I guess we can use "google" or go back to
a paper map if we have to.
