TomTom 4.3" BT GPS w/ Lifetime Traffic/Maps

I upgraded from my TomTom 130S to this model. The screen is larger and thinner, which are really nice. The touch screen responds a lot better than my old model. It will also flip the screen if you turn the unit upside down, which is helpful depending on how you want to attach it to your car. You can either attach to the window, or it comes with a circular pad that you can stick to your dash, and then suction to it. One thing that is different from the 130S is that the stand is no longer removable. But with the thin screen it is still pretty compact. I really like the lifetime traffic and maps feature that is included. But was a little disappointed when I first tried to test the traffic feature. I had the GPS plugged into my laptop trying to download the updates and it said the traffic feature wasn't available. I later realized that the traffic receiver is located on the power cable that connects to the cigarette lighter. If you don't have it connected to the GPS (and connected to the cigarette lighter) you can't get traffic updates. Which I guess is fine once you realize it. But if you have to go to battery mode for any reason it drops your traffic connection. When I went to download the latest map I was also disappointed to be told that I would have to insert a Micro SD in order to have enough room. Memory is cheap TomTom, why couldn't you just include more in the unit?? But as I said, memory is cheap so I picked up an 8 GB card for under $10 and now my maps are up to date. The bluetooth feature is nice. I sucessfully connected both a Droid X2 and a Blackberry and was able to make and receive calls. The blue tooth feature is also nice becuase it allows the unit to accept voice commands. I tested it at home and it was pretty good at understanding me. There was background noise that kept throwing it off so I programmed my stops by hand. I didn't test the voice command feature in the car. There are tons of voices installed but only one that will read street names to you. One thing that I've found annoying: When driving down a freeway, anytime there is an "Exit Only" lane it will tell you to keep left. Which is nice unless you are in a large city like Los Angeles and then it is yelling at you every 30 seconds to "Keep Left..." It would be nice to be able to turn this feature off. I also setup an alert for school zones, thinking it would be nice to make sure I slow down. Well, again driving down the freeway in Los Angeles it would beep everytime I was within 1/2 mile of ANY school, including colleges. I figured it would be a "hey you are driving through a school zone" alert and instead had to be turned off as there are about 50 colleges along the freeway in Los Angeles. Pros: Nice sized and Responsive Screen, Lifetime traffic and map updates, voice activated Cons: Need a MicroSD to fit map updates, have to be plugged into cigarette lighter to get traffic updates Would I buy it again?? Definately.
