By Tom Music “Sound quality”
So far I had owned 3 GPS devices: the Tomtom One 3rd edition, the Garmin nuvi 350 and this latest Tomtom 330s model. Before owning, I have used the Garmin Streetpilots given by many car rentals.
By far, this is the best of the three:
Pros:
- Wide screen
- Text to speech
- LOUD speaker (I’ve read some reviews of a soft speaker - I guess either it was a bad batch of devices, or you didn’t read the instructions on how to change the volume. With mine, on 80% it’s blasting over the radio AND road noise.)
- Volume adjusts to driving speed
- great GPS reception (even in NYC, although sometimes because of tall buildings can have a little trouble finding current position, but that’s the problem with ALL of the GPSs I’ve had, including the very highly reviewed nuvi 350)

I bought this unit in advance of a recent trip from western Wisconsin to the the east side of Michgan’s Lower Penninsula…a trip with my father to a family reunion.
The interface and software were all user friendly, although I did download a full user’s guide before starting. I also downloaded the most current maps…good thing I had a high speed connection, since the files were almost a gig.
The unit routed us right through the heart of Chicago without a hitch, and I have to say, it’s the first time I’ve EVER driven the Windy City without white knuckles. Everything on the screen was right there in front of us and it constantly reminded me to change lanes, keep right or left and take exits or make turns when needed. My father was absolutely in a state of awe.
