Yes you can plan multiple routes. The included navigation software is very mature and full-featured. It is the same software used by most of the world's auto makers in their in-dash navigation units. The included suction mount has never fallen off in the car, but I would never recommend using any suction mount on a motorcycle windshield. The included handlebar mount works fine or you can do what I did, replace the ball with a 1" RAM ball (standard AMPS pattern) and use a RAM mount.

I saw recommendations for the suction cup mount but be very careful where you put it on the bike and make sure to tether it to either yourself or the bike somehow. I lost a brand new hero2 on my first ride out using the suction cup mount so I don't trust it on a motorcycle, but I've seen it on others. Your call. But like I said, tether system is HIGHLY recommended.

I'm upgrading from a 755T to a 1390T and didn't find the multi-point routing that usefull. I could see how a delivery person would find it useful. For the rest of us, I would think it would be just as simple to save your list of destinations as favorites and then just select them as you go.

I purchased a gps long ago and I'm very satisfied with it, I DON'T UNDERSTAND why you sent me this email asking me about this nonsense question, I sent positive feed back a few days after a started using the device, so please double check on your emails, it may be a mistake in your behalf. Thank you. !

I ended up taking back the TomTom when the Garmin 680 became available and am using the Garmin friction pad. That worked great on our long trip, and it sits really well on the console during night driving when there'd be reflection on the windshield.

Can your holder support my tom tom gps? The one that comes with it always falls off window and dash board. Can anyone tell me if it works well for a gps holder?

I don't think it would do well as a GPS for your car; however, I don't know why it would serve as a good GPS for the rest of the activities you mentioned. The great thing about it is the route creation feature. For example, if I want to do a 40 mile ride and am not familiar with the area, it allows me to ask it to produce a loop for a 40 mile ride from my current location. It will offer three alternative routes providing some information (e.g., distance and elevation), each around 40 miles. I then select one and hit start. Once I'm on the road on my bike, it gives me turn by turn instructions.

I haven't used it yet but it does track where you have gone so that you can take the same way back. I bought it for equine trails. The map is not loaded but I found a sight where it's only around 9 bucks. You can fine many different maps there. It's called way points. You set way point & it draws a line from one to the next. You can set as many as you want on your trail. I plan to set one at every trail head. https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/maps/on-the-trail-maps/c452-c456-p1.html

I had two Garmins. I changed to TomTom get the free maps. I am so disappointed. It said I could get street names announced. but I have never been able to do that. It just states go right in 300 feet. There might be 5 right turns within that distance which I have to guess. It gives me a choice of about 5 people and none give street names although someone said I have to get Betty and the machine says "You have chosen a voice which does not give street names". Wish I could I have tried all of them. Next one will be a Garmin again. When new maps are needed, I can just get a new one for nearly the same price. I had two Garmins.

It takes a subscription to those maps. My Tom Toms have not had those. I have use them now for four or five years on myservice truck fleet without any trouble Then I had one go bad in less than a year and wrote a less than favorable review. Tom Tom then answered with instructions to maybe take care of this and after sending the info I never heard from them again. This confirms some of the nightmares I read in the Amazon reviews. I have since purchased a Garmin that I like much better. My advice don't buy a Tom Tom.

Tom Tom worked on my iPod 4 with the Dual 10/10 untill there was a Tom Tom upgrade about 3 weeks ago. GPS is working fine on my iPod 2 with Tom Tom which received the same upgrade with the same Dual unit. I contacted Tom Tom and they said to wait for the next upgrade

Kimberly, don't listen only to what Peter says about this GPS. Look at all the 4 and 5 star reviews. They far outweigh the 1 star reviews. I've had a TomTom One for 4 years never with a problem. TomTom has been a great GPS for me as well as many others. This is a great price.

Never tried, but I don't see that it makes a difference. You still have to open the access door at the bottom to get to the USB port, so you might as well just use the car-charger plugged into a lighter socket. Point is, you shouldn't have to do ANY of those things if Tom Tom's charging mount lasted for more than a couple of months. Since that obviously isn't important to Tom Tom (just as customer support isn't), I'd say save some $$$ and buy something else. Don't forget, Tom Tom still wants a lot of money for map updates, others don't. Tom Tom refuses to service or repair anything out of warranty so your investment isn't worth squat. The only place the charging mount is available is Europe, so it'll cost you big bucks. It may be possible to self-modify the mount so it'll allow you to open the access port to the USB/12v connections -- I did that with the car windshield mount I had from the TT Rider 1 -- but there goes the weather-proofing. If you already have it, I guess you have nothing to lose. If you haven't bought it yet....DON'T!

Hi Maria! After giving your issue some thought (and then playing with my cell phone to try to understand your issue better) I think I came up with a reason why your TomTom has issues with keeping it's orientation. Your motorcycle vibrates more than a car would. This vibration is being transferred through the mount to your TomTom and it thinks you are trying to re-orientate it from one direction to the other because of the stronger vibrations. My suggestion to you quite honestly would be to call a motorcycle dealership and ask them what GPS device they specifically recommend for use on a motorcycle. Because the TomTom cannot be stopped from doing this. It's great for your car though! Hi Maria!

I wasn't able to create my own route with multiple way points on this unit. My old TomTom is the XL and I downloaded the free Tyre program that works with Google Earth to create itineraries. Tyre works with TomTom and Garmin and you can create an itinerary with lots of waypoints or stops. You can also edit itineraries you already have on your TomTom. Needless to say I bought the VIA 1605 but returned it. Like you I wanted a unit I could create my own itinerary with lots of waypoints.

the best way is to be near a signal when you open the map app, keep it open. then when you drive away it will work as long as you do not close the app. That's the free type. A paid for download will be better though and that will be the same with all stand alone GPS units unless you use a built in street map one. But the dual will work great!!
