Great buy, this was a great deal on eBay at $100 and i didn't pull the trigger... Good thing, usually i don't get lucky.

Really? Less than a week after the baby TomTom?

My last GPS had a voice that sounded like my sister. I hope this one has a voice more pleasant to listen to. Like Wanda Sykes perhaps.

If I switch it to a female voice is it called DebDeb?

Kinda spooky that I have the 550XXL, and was about to reference the problem I had with the Lifetime Map updates while discussing the previous item!

They give me US/Canada/Mexico maps for free, but if I want ONLY US map, I have to BUY it, delete the original maps and install the new map, and then Continue to Pay for my 'lifetime' updates!

W T F?!

But...it Is a nice unit. (yeah...joke comment forthcoming!)

there's a bunch of free add-on voices that ar on thier website. I used Beavis for months... and Eric Cartman is free last time I checked.

So is this the 550 or the 550TM? I'll assume the 550TM since it indicates that it includes the lifetime traffic and maps updates. But leaving off the letters could be a bit confusing.

I got one of these during the Black Friday sales last year for $130, and it was a great deal back then! Might be in for one as a gift, this GPS is intuitive and easy to use, only gave me bad directions once when a bridge was out for repair on a small road. Get this GPS and make all your friends jealous that you get free lifetime updates!

I'm trying to decide if I should get this just for some new Daria.

Pardon me, would you have any bags of crap?

Also, with the newest OS update, it tends to pick up the satellites faster than it used to

Nice price. I love my Tom Tom, but I think it's worth the extra money to get lifetime maps.

Not confusing at all:
T=lifetime traffic M=lifetime maps

Edit:
In the description "Lifetime Traffic & Map Updates (US, Canada & Mexico only)" is probably wrong, the model number does not indicate the "TM".

Woot, how about clarification?

I agree. Leaving the TM off is a little confusing. It does say lifetime Traffic and Maps in the 'feature list' but it could mean that it is eligible for the annual subscription of the TM feature at a cost... I wish that they would clarify this point.

Wow--this thing looks loaded. Is that a GPS in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

Lifetime Traffic? The Car Charger Looks Like the Regular Car Charger and NOT The Lifetime Traffic Receiver...

Yes ... I need to know this too before I decide.. I have the 4.3 version and I love it but it is the tm version with lifetime traffic and map.. only way to buy one....

Anyone know for certain whether this inded includes lifetime traffic & maps? Description is clear as mud regarding this.

this is a great opportunity for those who missed the 3.5" version for 29.95 a week ago. It might even be a better deal but I still like the size of the 3.5" version and looking forward to it arriving - hopefully shortly. I can't stand being so lost.

According to reports/reviews on Amazon, Tom Tom's lifetime map updates does NOT apply to refubished models.

Which is why "T" and "M" have been left off of this product title.

Too bad, I almost bought a couple. But without Map updates, theres no point.

This is what's keeping me from pulling the trigger, too. I bought the XL340S-LIVE 4.3” version last year, and it was awesome...right up until the LIVE ran out. I'm very interested in this if it does indeed include lifetime maps and traffic *included* in the price. Otherwise, I'll wait until I can get the one I want.

So? Woot? Please clarify! Thanks!

Does this GPS has life time traffic and map updates?

I almost bought one, too. A map update may cost as much as one of these refurbs.

No TomTom for me... I prefer to buy American, when there is a comparable product available from U.S.A. Simply, I support my country that supports me... go USA...

My girlfriend walked in the door last year with a Garmin Nuvi, about three days before this my boss had picked up the same and had me make sure everything was kosher. I off-handedly commented about the customizable icons that could be used. She left the next day with a Tardis as her GPS icon.

Howdy all. We are trying to get clarification on whether this is the 550 or 550TM. It's going to take a little bit though.

Edit: It'll be first thing in the morning.

Somebody actually manufactures a GPS in America?

Oh...another thing about this one--you have to Pay $20 a year for Gas Prices! And they do Not include ARCO stations! You have to Search Specifically for ARCO as a POI! Strange.

I don't think you will get the life time map or traffic update since its said TomTom XXL 550 5-Inch GPS with IQ Routes & Premium Maps.
