Features

The TomTom 130S with a standard, 3.5-inch touchscreen display is a small and handy GPS device. But it offers a number of useful features. The touchscreen is responsive and clear, with large, vivid buttons that are distinct enough to make navigating through the menus easy.

Unlike other TomTom's of the past, this one gives a new and better mount. It also has more rounded curves along the bottom corners, which give it a better look. You may also notice it is thinner, though it has many of the same tools you have come to expect from these. Also different is that the speakers of the device are louder. Overall, the new design of the TomTom is a good change.

One of the best features of the redesign is the EasyPort Mount. This mount is helpful for a number of reasons, including the fact that you can adjust the screen virtually any way you would like to, at any angle you need it to be. You can move it slightly to get just the right view, then move it again as you readjust in your seat.

Actual user comment:

• "I've had my Tom Tom 130 for about 3 weeks, and love it so far. The EasyPort mount is very simple to use and, if used properly, is easy to secure and remove from the windshield (I think some of those who complain that the mount doesn't work well may be suffering from "operator error") -- I love the fact that you can easily remove both the Tom Tom and the mount from the car, making it easy to transfer from one car to another, or just carry it in your purse or pocket (I recommend the case made by Case Logic)" - L.Nicholas , USA

Also, look at the battery of the device. Once you start using it, you are sure to see the benefits: it lasts longer, up to three hours over the other models offered by TomTom.

The navigation offered by the TomTom is also a good investment. It has NavCore 7.5 software. It provides the user with maps for the US and Canada. The 130S performed well when plotting routes and providing turn-by-turn directions. While not the largest, it does offer a substantial number of points of interests throughout this area. Also, if you have had older versions of the TomTom 130's, then you may also appreciate the change in the menu. It offers a new arrangement and the loss of the "Show All Menu Items." This makes for an easier navigation through the menu.

There are many great features added, too, such as enhanced speech customizations. You may find the speed limit warnings that this device offers very helpful, as it will display your speed and the current road's speed limit, if known.

Overall, the TomTom 130s is a good GPS unit, with a number of benefits over the older TomTom models. It is a breeze to use, and does an excellent job of making it easy to adjust routes, settings, and other vital features. The device is a good fit for the average user, as it does provide good, accurate details and easy to follow navigation. Take some time to learn how to use each of the features to get the best results from the device.

• "We bouught two TomToms. One for my wife and myself. I found them easy to set up and the software was easy to use. It was easy to show my non-technical/geographically challenged wife how to use it. She loves it. No more getting lost for her. I like it because I can find points of interest in my area that I did not know even existed. Two thumbs up from us. " - P.Stern, FL, USA
