Rating: 3.25/5 from 4 reviews TOMTOM is great, but J&Rs listing is dishonest.The Tomtom navigator version with no cradle for your Pocket PC lists for $329. With the cradle it lists for $349. Unlike most items on Amazon, this J&R listing makes absolutely no mention of what comes in the box. I assumed that for $347 you were getting a $2 discount on the $349 version. Nope, your being charged $18 more than retail for the one without the cradle. What's worst, is that the cradle costs you $50 when bought separately from Tomtom. Avoid hassles, buy directly from Tomtom and get what you expect. Be careful about getting this from J and R...problemsI ordered the TomTom BlueTooth Navigation system for a Pocket PC. It arrived in an orderly fashion. The shipping box was damaged. The manufactureer's box was damaged. The GPS device was floating around in the box. The L-shaped cradle was missing (item#2 on page 3 of the manual). Much to my chagrine, the IPAQ cradle was missing. Then I looked a little further and the manufacturer's box had the cradle X'd out even though the price was $347.00. The retail price for this package INCLUDING the cradle is $349.00. I called J and R and told them my problem. They told me that they knew about the problem and that I was to call TomTom directly because the wrong box was being distributed. I called TomTom and the Customer Service representative told me that J and R was responsible. I once again called J and R and was told that they would "send the missing parts". I may be wrong but I think that J and R purchasing did not investigate the product very well and they were selling it in a wrong manner. They need to straighten this out before seiing this item as advertised. The single star was for my experience and is in no way meant to deter the purchase of the TomTom device. It just serves as a warning to check what you buy. There are different boxed versions of the Bluetooth TomTom Navigator. I should say that I was able to take care of this problem this morning and that everyone involved was very nice. For now I have returned my item and am waiting for things to "cool down" before jumping back on the horse and trying again. Impressive Interface & superior MapsI had tried so other devices but found the interfaces difficult to use (let alone my wife). The TomTom does an outstanding job and setting up is very easy. What is also much better is the display and routing of the maps, especially outside LA when driving in scarcely populated areas. | ||||||||||||||||
