One of my favorite pieces of technology EVER!
This is my first dedicated GPS device. My husband has a 3-year-old TomTom and I've been wanting one of my own for a long time. I'm a textbook girl - not good with directions - at all, but this TomTom goes beyond mere mapping. The traffic alerts have shaved 30-60 minutes off my commute DAILY and I have been evangelizing this GO2435 to everyone I know since I got it. I commute over 50 miles each way, every day... and cut through the Dallas area to get to work and home. I've repeatedly found the local traffic reports on the radio to be utterly worthless the vast majority of the time. By the time they report an incident, I'm already stuck in it... not so with the traffic reporting on this GPS. It's amazing. This is my personal "eye in the sky" that gets me where I'm going - and does so quickly, avoiding traffic delays.
There are pros and cons with this device, but there have been 2 software updates since I got it and some things have already improved. I'm greatly anticipating...

TomTom 2435TM Review
First the positive:
The bluetooth connectivity to a cell phone (although this is not suppose to be the core feature of the product) turns out to be the most useful feature. When driving, talking through TomTom is much easier than using the bluetooth ear piece.
The traffic monitoring feature has saved me time couple of times over the past three weeks of use. When TomTom detects a heavy traffic on 101, it informs me of the heavy traffic and suggests an alternative route. On those two occassions I followed the suggestion, I learned that I actually did save about 10 minutes on typical 40 minute route. The realization came from the traffic updated provided on the radio. From my detour to the destination, the traffic reported average delay of 25 minutes while the alternative route from TomTom took 15 minutes.
Now the not so good:
The onboard map does not seem to be comprihensive. Of about 15 addresses I tried to used for navigation, about 5 were...
A new favorite???
I have used several GPS units over the past few years. I started with a Garmin, which was great, then Magellan, then my cell phone. I liked the Garmin, most, until I got my cell phone, and so I returned it. I just got the TomTom, and frankly, was never really impressed with what they had to offer....until now. Quality of materials appears very good. I was not happy to not have a suction device for my windshield. Having the the disk mount on my dash is and advertisement to theives that I have a GPS and a chance for them break into my car and look for it (even though I do not keep it in the car)....so....I do not mount it. Now, I should mention that I LOVED my cell phone GPS. Traffic updates, etc., it was great, and included in my plan for no extra charge! Great. I was happy. Well, today we went to Staten Island (from Westchester), NY....about one hour and twenty minute drive. So, a battle of the GPS's was a no brainer. The controls on the TomTom are not really as intuitive as my old...
