I wonder if anyone from Tom Tom marketing is reading this! A perfect advertisement! "I had a boring life, before I bought my Tom Tom!"- I use it to go to place that I would think to go if I din't have a GPS.
- Sometime I go visit some POI to see how they are doing, If they don't exist I try everything to locate them back.
- I update once a week every POI and update them in MapShare.
- My life was so borring before I got my TT, I din't know where to go in car. Now I have 1m POI to visit. There is alot of Gaz stations I din't know they exist before.
To direct me from point A to point B, for the most efficiant routing plan.
When you're spending $4.06+ per gal and getting 7-8 MPG, there's no wiggle room for routing errors.
For me, TomTom is a tool. No difference than a carpenters hammer.
I guess it depends on the brand of hammer. I just updated the software in my hammer (Estwing) and, unlike my TomTom, didn't end up with more glitches than I started with.
I use my TT as a door stop it does good. Less headaches with the thing that way. No glitches holding a door open.

I like running code and not having to stop and look at the mapbook to see if I'm making a right or left!Day to day I use it mainly for listening to MP3's in the car. I know my way around town and don't need navigation help to get to the store. I used to use it for the Bluetooth handsfree but since they mucked that up in the firmware it's useless for the telephone now.
On trips I use Google Earth and TYRE to create Itineraries. I plan my route in advance and have it all set to go. I like having the TT warn me of exits and get me onto the right secondary roads to get to my destination. My wife has made a few road trips by herself and I set up the itinerary for her and I'm much more confident about making sure she doesn't get lost.
As a police officer I love having it in the car with me. The situational awareness of where I am exactly is necessary and life saving. Even a short chase with a couple turns can get you turned around about where you are. A quick glance and the TT gives me the street I'm on and my next cross street. It also helps give a great bird's eye view of the streets near me. Sometimes I'll get a call on a street I'm unfamiliar with. A quick entry and I have a route planned. I usually can get into the neighborhood more efficiently than the TT but it's nice having it help me make the last turn or two in the right direction and a good idea of where in the block the house I'm going to is.
