Tom Tom just has a better advertising department then the other three. There's a reason pilots don't use Tom Tom, they use Garmin. We sell probably 5 garmins for every 1 tom tom.]]>Jul 8th 2008 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/tomtoms-two-way-hd-traffic-gps-unit-clears-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/tomtoms-two-way-hd-traffic-gps-unit-clears-the-fcc/Jul 8th 2008 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/tomtoms-two-way-hd-traffic-gps-unit-clears-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/tomtoms-two-way-hd-traffic-gps-unit-clears-the-fcc/Jul 8th 2008 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/tomtoms-two-way-hd-traffic-gps-unit-clears-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/tomtoms-two-way-hd-traffic-gps-unit-clears-the-fcc/Jul 8th 2008 1:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/tomtoms-two-way-hd-traffic-gps-unit-clears-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/tomtoms-two-way-hd-traffic-gps-unit-clears-the-fcc/Jul 14th 2008 10:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/tomtoms-two-way-hd-traffic-gps-unit-clears-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/tomtoms-two-way-hd-traffic-gps-unit-clears-the-fcc/Jul 8th 2008 7:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/tomtoms-two-way-hd-traffic-gps-unit-clears-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/tomtoms-two-way-hd-traffic-gps-unit-clears-the-fcc/That enables them to give superior results while calculating the routing.
It's a cleverly thought up scheme I guess]]>Jul 9th 2008 7:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/tomtoms-two-way-hd-traffic-gps-unit-clears-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/tomtoms-two-way-hd-traffic-gps-unit-clears-the-fcc/Jul 8th 2008 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/tomtoms-two-way-hd-traffic-gps-unit-clears-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/tomtoms-two-way-hd-traffic-gps-unit-clears-the-fcc/when i want to get a quick idea on where im at.

what i don't understand is why people would pay up to $700 for a stand alone unit... i can possibly see dropping $200...]]>Jul 8th 2008 6:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/tomtoms-two-way-hd-traffic-gps-unit-clears-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/tomtoms-two-way-hd-traffic-gps-unit-clears-the-fcc/Jul 8th 2008 6:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/tomtoms-two-way-hd-traffic-gps-unit-clears-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/tomtoms-two-way-hd-traffic-gps-unit-clears-the-fcc/Jul 8th 2008 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/tomtoms-two-way-hd-traffic-gps-unit-clears-the-fcc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/08/tomtoms-two-way-hd-traffic-gps-unit-clears-the-fcc/
1. You don't get voice directions.
Frankly, who wants to look at their navigation screen constantly. Use a real (dedicated) GPS device and see how it is supposed to work.

2. You lose your maps when you have no phone reception.
