One of my favorite recent purchases for my husband was the TomTom 510. We bought it in July, the excuse was a trip from Maine to North Carolina. I tend to be on the low-tech end of the spectrum of life. I like to travel light and not have to care for lots of gadgets, etc… but i have to confess this is now a need for me.
It is super easy to use and very easy to understand. I love the independence it’s given me. I no longer have to ask my husband what roads to take to get to places I’m not familiar with. I’ve never been one for maps personally. (In a strange twist, I am looking for an old one to put on the wall in a decorative manner. I like the way the old blue looks.)
Now, I’m planning my very own trip in to Boston with the kids! I would have never considered doing that before, but now it seems possible and accessible. If you haven’t got a navigation system, or are looking for one, TomTom is a great choice.
