Initially a great deal as a refurbished. But... upload the latest updates and "poof" your voice function disappears. This is well documented on the internet groups. Try reloading the original install disc and you get your voice features back, but... utilize Bluetooth or iPod connector and you're back to no voice guidance. On top of that, the iPod is finicky at best. Most likely why they don't offer it anymore in their current 2009 lineup. Always tells you to connect the player each time you turn off the unit. This requires you to turn the unit off again, unplug the iPod, turn the unit back on, then plug the iPod in AFTER you turn the 510 back on once more. Crazy. My experience is seriously an issue when considering buying a TomTom again three years later. Were it not for my the built-in MyGig system on my new vehicle, I don't know if I'd buy another one. As is, I'm relegating this 510 to the carry-on bag for business trips.

I bought this product about 1.5 years ago. Until a few weeks ago things were OK. Now each time after selecting the destination, it freezes when I accept the caclulations. TomTom helpdesk on the other hand has me go through software troubleshooting and I had to call them back 8 times and yell and them before they acknowledged their mistakes. They will send a replacement unit, but sufice it to say that I am done with this brand. TomTom stands for DumbDumb
