 no replacement parts June 13, 2010

2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The GPS works fine. I have been using it for over a year with no problems. The cradle, however is the weak link. Through searching the internet I have found many people with the same problem. The cradle/dock does not charge the unit anymore, and there are NO replacement parts for this unit from Tom Tom or anywhere else in the United States. There are some in the UK, but I have not been able to find one for myself yet. The GPS now works only as long as it will hold a charge from the home charger, which renders it usless after a few hours. I do NOT recommend this product.
 Do not buy a refurb! May 18, 2010
Keith M. Zimmer
This appears to be a great GPS, but if you buy a refurb, they don't come with the cradle, RAM mount, battery cable, or headset. Do yourself a favor and buy a new unit to get everything. I was able to find a RAM mount with cradle on eBay for $260! After paying $160 for the refurbed GPS, plus $260 for the cradle/RAM kit, plus $30 for a headset puts me @ $450. I don't know if the cradle kit includes the battery cable and I don't know if the "spare headset" that I ordered from tomtom will include a charger. I think you get the hint...
A disappointing purchase - but excellent call center staff and service May 16, 2010

I ordered the TT2 after reading numerous reviews, some positive and some not so good. What worried me was that I had two Garmin products that work a charm, but their mototcycle GPS was a bit tad expensive. The mounting and setup was easy, but noticeable was the tangible feel - not really making me feel warm and fussy inside about my decision. I hoped that I would be wrong. But I wasn't. The buttons are too small to work properly with gloves on, even summer gloves. The screen is difficult to read in all but no light situations. The TomTom interface is terrible as well. I sorely missed the easy of use of Garmin products and the fact that I can enter a street address, searching the whole continent if I felt like it. Not with TomTom. You better know the area of the street, otherwise you are NOT gonna find that address! The POI option is also flawed in that it often froze! The worst was that in fairly light rain, the connectors behind the device and the mount got wet and rusted. I frequently had to clean the rust of them - and then finally on of the four pins got stuck inside its little channel and now makes no contact. It is dead as a dodo!
Going onto the TomTom website for spares or accesories - well, all I can say is don't bother - there is none! When looking for a GPS for your bike - don't look to TomTom 2 - go for the more expensive but far superiour Garmin product.
I have located TomTom's call centre - excellent communication and feedback - very professional! Although based in the UK, they have arranged for replacement part to be send to me within 7 days of contacting them.
Good sound but hard to see in sunlight April 27, 2010
John V. Mayton (Goldsboro, NC)
It took a bit of cursing and frustration to get the unit to work with my phone. Went to Verison to find a phone that would work (the list from TomTom was useless) and we tried everything in the store, but no luck. I tried again, the next day and for some reason (no one there could figure out why) it started working. The sound from the ear speaker is good enough to hear over very loud pipe and my lack of hearing acuity so the turn by turn is helpfull. My gripe is the screen is hard to see in the sunlight. I bought a couple of glare reducing screen covers which didn't help much, if at all. I'm off for a 2000+ mile trip to Key West this coming Friday, so I'll be putting the unit to a major test. One other thing, it would be nice if I could adjust the size of the letters so that I could read them better. My old Garmin did that and I miss it. On the other hand, having a nice lady telling me when to turn is cool. That is almost like having my ex-wife on the back seat telling me how to drive, except the TomTom never gets stupid with me, unlike the ex.

Awesome GPS.
I've put over 15k on my bike since I install the TomTom Rider 2, went trough severe rain storms, rugged roads, very cold and super hot days ... and my GPS kept me from getting lost at all times.
Very user friendly, cool looking and priced right.
I'm very happy with it.
