QuickGPSfix
Starting up can seem like a slow business, particularly if you’re in a hurry, because the GPS receiver needs to know exactly where each GPS satellite is to calculate your location. But satellites only broadcast their positions once every 30 seconds. So if any of their signals are interrupted, for example by passing high buildings, the whole position-fixing process has to repeat itself again and again until the perfect fix is achieved. QuickGPSfix takes a smarter approach.
QuickGPSfix can speed up the time it takes to fix your GPS position by downloading the latest satellite data via an Internet connection. Just connect your TomTom device to your computer and TomTom HOME automatically downloads ‘QuickGPSfix’ – a special GPS data file that helps your TomTom fix your position quicker, even when the GPS signal is weak or partially blocked.
This unique free service helps you fix your position and get navigating faster than ever.
On the road or no access to TomTom HOME?
Get the same ‘QuickGPSfix’ data by simply connecting to any TomTom PLUS service, using a wireless data connection. As soon as a connection is established, the ‘QuickGPSfix’ data is automatically updated.
Note: QuickGPSfix data has limited validity. So to keep on getting a faster position-fix, re-connect your device at least once a week.
To minimize the amount of data sent over your wireless data connection, this automatic update is only carried out if the data on your device is over 5 days old. The associated data usage of this service is less than 10 Kb per connection. Please contact your mobile service provider to determine the exact costs. To disable this automatic update, just select ‘Disable Auto QuickGPSfix’ on your TomTom device.

Good GPS, Old Maps
This GPS is a good, inexpensive unit that has a lot of nice features, but also has one major problem. That major problem is that the maps are quite old and the free map upgrade from TomTom does NOT apply to refurb units.
Pros:
1) Pretty quick at GPS acquisition
2) Built-in windshield mount is great
3) Loud speaker
4) Screen is very clear
5) TomTom Home is a great system for keeping GPS up to date
Cons:
1) 1GB of memory means maps don't have many POIs
2) Included maps are 5 revisions behind (TomTom updates 4 times a year)
Super price!
I bought this to replace my TomTom One that was stolen. After the rebate, and including 2 day shipping, it was just $60 which is a pretty amazing price for a nice GPS. Despite the information from another review, TomTom will upgrade your maps during the first 30 days after purchase, refurbished or not. If you've done your homework, you know that this is a basic model. The screen is only 3.5" (which I think is plenty big) and it doesn't speak the names of streets. So, instead of saying "turn right on elm street", it just says, "turn right". If you are driving alone, this is actually a bigger disadvantage than you might think because when streets (or highway exits) are closely spaced it can be hard to figure out when to turn. If you have a companion to look at the GPS while you drive, then it doesn't really make a difference. Still, if you just want a unit that will reliably get you where you want to go, and is easy to use (e.g. entering the destination, etc.) you can't go wrong for[...]
EXCELLENT GPS FOR THE $$$$$
If you do not require live traffic or bluetooth and just need guidance, this unit is all you need. Good mapping, compact and very easy to use. In fact my 6 year get's a kick out of entering the routing. Why pay [...] when there is no need? BTW....I was sceptical about the rebate but, I received my check within 4 weeks with zero issues. Very nice buying experience and did not have to step into a retial store.
