Customer Review: My TomTom 140-S Works!
I've had the 140-S for about a month now. Until now I've just played around with it to and from work, just learning how it operates. Acouple weeks ago I had a delivery to a customer in a new housing development about 50 miles away. He was located out in the country on a new street but the TomTom took me straight to his door and then back to the office! That evening after work I drove to visit my son in Marietta/ Atlanta, Ga using the TomTom. I've been there a couple times but have had trouble finding his house both times. He lives about 25 miles off the interstate and Marietta/Atlanta can be a headache to navigate especially at night. What do you know? It worked again! Found his house in the dark! The lane assist really came in handy whenever on the Atlanta outer belt. It let me know in plenty of time whether to bear left or right before an off or on ramp. Those graphics were pretty cool. The overspeed warning was also nice. The unit was plenty loud even with the diesel engine noise. If there was a drawback it was the fact that the sun's glare off my dash made the screen difficult to see at times but it was never completely washed out. If I used it on a daily basis I would invest in one of those aftermarket sunshades. I'm a satisfied customer.
Customer Review: Tom Tom 140S
I tried two different units. The first one developed a hard looping problem that did not let the unit finish programming the route. I discovered when the second one started doing the same thing it would occur if you tried to set a route/address and you were not on a road that the unit recognizes. My driveway is ¼ mile long and runs off of a main road. If I entered an address while on my driveway it would start the looping issue until you approached the main road. My Garmin units do not have any problems in that regard. The second unit would freeze up then reboot after I started entering what Tom Tom calls itinerary / waypoints to program a route with stops that you choose yourself. This is a great feature that was one of the reasons I wanted the 140S. I really wanted to keep the second unit and downloaded all the updates etc from Tom Tom's web site; however, it still had the problem. This was after a new application and map was installed. That process took a lot of time even with a fast connection. Tom Tom's tech folks are nice but many lack the knowledge to resolve issues. Also beware that the internal memory will not allow you to install new maps that cover the same areas as originally installed. If the unit had worked I would have loved to keep it. For now I am using my wife's Garmin 205 nivi and it works without a hitch, however, it does not have the ability to do routing / itinerary like the Tom Tom does. You need to spend a lot more money to get that feature in a Garmin GPS. As usual Amazon handled the returns with no problems.
