I found the 540s to be very well-built and of high quality. I got this on black Friday at best buy for 149.99 and am very happy with the purchase. It is unbelievably better than the previous GPS I owned, which was from a company called Mio if I remember correctly. The 5-inch touch screen is very responsive and doesn’t mistype when I am inputting addresses. It does a lot more than get the job done, and even comes with car repair guides. Talk about comprehensive! I like how it speaks not just turn-by-turn directions, but also street names. I definitely would not pay 300.00 for it, however.
If you would like to check out a very in-depth review I wrote for the 540S, please check out this link:

I have owned several GPS units, including models from Garmin and Navman. I upgraded to this model from the TomTom 140S. This model has twice the screen size. The screen is brighter, and the sound is louder and fuller. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Routing is excellent. The Points of Interest database is huge. Advanced lane guidance is very helpful. The large screen makes data input easier. Like all TomToms, you can configure it to your liking.
The only negative is that battery life is reduced because of the larger, brighter screen.

I purchased many GPS from Garmin,Navigator,etc,,,,,I never had a GPS that the company let customers help update any map changes. I also like the other feathers including making a new file that I put my Geocaches. I haven”t had any problem with my unit.

I upgraded to the larger screen XXL 540S from a GO 720. Based on my experience with the GO 720 I was really disappointed in this thing. It constantly had to be re-set to the way I wanted it to work. Everytime I turned it on there was something new to fix. Finally when I was running map upgrades on TOMTOM Home, I received an error saying map couldn’t be updated. All I had now was a blank screen with “NO MAPS SELECTED”! When going back to TOMTOM Home to try to re-install I received the message that my device and maps are up to date. Trying to talk to TOMTOM to fix it is like pulling hens’ teeth. I returned the device and went back to my GO 720. Bigger isn’t necessarily better. Didn’t last two weeks!

I picked this up for a great price and it works great. Acquires signal fast from within my home with 9 satellites. 5 inch screen is great, though it still has the resolution of a 4.3 inch screen. I dont use hands free calling or voice input (not hard to plug in data). Has alot of POI which is a big plus. Storage is 2gb internal memory. It routes very fast, in a manner of seconds.
The retail price is $299. I would not pay that much for this. If you can get this gps for $200 or less then pick it up.
