The “nearly” comes into play should you wish to download updated maps, something that may be (And yes, I’m aware that it’s possible to come up with examples of such use, like sharing of trip routes or route planning on the computer, but I’ve never felt any desire for such things.) The attraction of the class of devices I’ve been reviewing is that they provide a simple-to-use and complete package, with all the maps you generally need stored internally, and with nearly everything the device can do accessible from its own touch-screen interface. Until now in these reviews, I’ve barely mentioned the idea that you’d want to connect one of these devices to your Mac because, quite frankly, I don’t see much point in it beyond basic geekery.

But perhaps more important, TomTom has long provided Macintosh software for downloading new maps, voices, and other customizations to the device. TomTom’s GPSes are generally regarded as being as good as or better than those from the better-known Garmin and Magellan.

See our “ Find Yourself with GPS” series for the full set of reviews of different devices.Īlthough I’m sure progress has been made by Garmin and Magellan, I’ve been wanting to check out devices from TomTom. It has been about a year and a half since my last review of a car navigation GPS, a consumer electronics field of which I’m inordinately fond, because the little buggers are so darn useful when driving in unfamiliar environs.
