Consumer Reviews
Pros
Intuitive menus, bright easy to read screen, very detailed maps, small and easy to mount.
Cons
Sometimes questionable routing, short battery life, multiple and possibly confusing...
Recommended it?
Yes
As a die hard user of traditional maps (and more recently, Google Maps on my iPhone) I have reluctantly held back from the temptation to buy an automotive based GPS system.
However, with a 7000 mile cross-country (and back) RV vacation planned for this summer, it became increasingly clear...

Pros
Small, light, easy to use interface, accurate, flexible.
Cons
Initial lock-on needs to be done standing still, more turn warning time.

Yes

Works well
Cons
Pricey, not needed
Recommended it?
Yes
My personal experience: The tomtom gps I have only used twice in the past month I have owned it. Yet I paid 135.00 for it! Honestly, this gps is probably most useful for travelers and not a necessary accessory to spend almost 150$ on for average folk. Realistically most phones and cars have gps...

Pros
Easy to use, amount of programmed places of interest, price, Lifetime traffic and map...
Cons
Maybe the size might bother some people that are looking for something more compact
Recommended it?
Yes
This is a great product by Tom Tom. I would recommend it to anyone who travels. The 4.3 inch screen makes it easier to see and there are more options to choose from than most other GPS manufacturers.
