TomTom Via 1535 review: TomTom Via 1535

 

TomTom's entry-level Via line is looking a lot like last year's top of the line. The Via 1535 TM that arrived for testing featured a large screen, Bluetooth, and voice command to go with its lifetime of map and traffic updates.

The thin-bodied TomTom Via 1535 has a more secure EasyPort connection than previous generations. Bluetooth hands-free calling and voice command enhance driver safety. Traffic data and IQ Routes technology actually helped us to avoid traffic jams.

While much easier to use than in earlier versions, TomTom's interface can still be a bit confusing to learn your way around for the first time. Traffic info doesn't cover surface and secondary roads.

The TomTom Via 1535 TM offers many features and services to increase driver safety and routing efficiency.

Great deal

 

The Tom Tom worked great for getting us around a big city we didn't know very well. I will be using it whenever we go to new places.
