TomTom GO 500 Makes It Easier To Map Your Route

Please Share!

TomTom GO 500 Makes It Easier To Map Your Route! Being a parent means being a chauffeur too! Getting your kids back and forth to friends’ houses, school, and more can be time-consuming! Good thing I now use the TomTom GO 500! This certainly makes it easier to map out my routes and get to places quicker! I certainly have fallen in love with my TomTom GO 500!

TomTom GO 500 Makes It Easier To Map Your Route

My hubby mounted the TomTom GO 500 to my windshield in my truck, so I can easily see and use it within arm’s reach. I then installed the TomTom app. The new MyDrive Technology (which can use on smartphones, tablets, or pc), allows so I can plan a route on my phone while inside my house, send it to my TomTom GO 500 and be all ready to hit the road as soon as I get into my truck! So awesome! Talk about convenience!

TomTom GO 500 Makes It Easier To Map Your Route

TomTom uses real-time traffic data to inform me where there may excessive traffic, or a roadblock and will suggest an alternate route to make my trip quicker, if necessary!

I use my TomTom GO 500 ALL the time. It has become a staple in my journeys! Nothing has made my travels more easier and stress-free than my TomTom GO 500! I also really like the interactive screen. You simply pinch, zoom and swipe the interactive map to find places and explore more of the world around you!

With the time TomTom GO has saved me, I am able to spend MORE time with my family, playing, cooking dinner, being outside in the sun, and more! I am so pleased with that! Plus, I am not an anxiety-ridden mess after driving because I got stuck in traffic or lost my way to my child’s new friend’s house. Instead, I am in a great mood and feel like I can conquer those roads now and traffic too!!!

 

  • TomTom’s database covers 99.9% of the roads (more than any other navigation service out there),
  • TomTom is the preferred traffic intelligence resource widely used by local government and traffic agencies to help solve mobility issues
  • TomTom has a new MyDrive cloud tool that lets you plan your route before you leave the house and send it directly to your GO device so you can pop in the car and hit the road without having to stop and log in directions.
  • MyDrive has been touted as one of the best by multiple tech magazines and most recently by ZDNet as “one of the best available.”

Did You Know???

A 2013 study said that the average mom drives her children around for 1,248 miles per year, or the equivalent of two weeks … and that’s not counting the added hours spent in traffic! How crazy is that??

The only downfall I could possibly find with the TomTom GO 500 is that you do have to purchase the newest maps. But, I think most GPS devices are like that.

    I spend several hours on the road each week. I would run errands with the time I would save not stuck in traffic.

    10 hours or so. I could read more books with the saved time.

    I spend way too much time on the road, in excess of an hour, so the extra time saved with Tom-Tom not stuck in traffic will be spent with family.

  4. slehan says

    June 20, 2015 at 10:41 pm

    Maybe 10 hours a week. I’d read more books.
    Thanks for the contest.

    June 20, 2015 at 9:06 pm

    Thank You for the giveaway…I have a 50 minute commute, both ways, on weekdays; if I had extra time I would use it for extra sleep !

  8. laurie murley says

    June 20, 2015 at 8:45 pm

    this would save so much time I could get more things done at home and spend more time with family and friends

  9. Richard Hicks says

    June 20, 2015 at 9:42 pm

    Probably on the road about 20 hrs a week. Extra time would allow me to relax a little more

  10. laura588 says

    June 20, 2015 at 8:16 pm

    I spend about 3 hours a day on the road. With any extra time I would try and catch up on my reading.

    June 20, 2015 at 7:57 pm

    on vacation it ranges from around 4 hours one way for a short trip and I would read with time saved

  12. Melinda Olson says

    June 20, 2015 at 5:39 pm

    We travel to visit my parents every other weekend, and when traffic is bad it’s a good 3 hour drive. If we didn’t have to sit it so much traffic, we would be able to enjoy that much more time with them!

  13. barb stenby says

    June 20, 2015 at 3:02 pm

    My son is going to school 50 miles away in NYC and the traffic is horrific at all times this would help out so much we would cut at least 20 minutes off our weekly trip with this!

  14. amweeks says

    June 20, 2015 at 2:00 pm

    I spend a lot of time (about 1-2 hours a day) carting kids from one activity or another. And running errands. And with the extra time, I could go to even more garage sales on the weekends…and would know the best route for getting to all of them!

  15. Amanda Sakovitz says

    June 20, 2015 at 12:48 pm

    I spend a few hours on the road each week. I would relax more with my time.

  16. Susan Smith says

    June 20, 2015 at 12:39 pm

    I don’t spend a lot of time on the road but I’m bad at directions so winning this Tom Tom GPS would definitely help.

  17. Philip Lawrence says

    June 20, 2015 at 12:31 pm

    I do not spend a lot of time on the road, maybe just 30 minutes per day, but I’d rather spend that time at estate and garage sales if I could save that time!

  18. Nicole Carter says

    June 20, 2015 at 11:35 am

    I don’t spend hardly anytime on the road but I would use extra time to go geocaching!

  19. Melanie Montgomery says

    June 20, 2015 at 9:38 am

    We visit family a lot 6 hours aways, so we could use this to avoid traffic and spend more time with family.

  20. Carol Godfrey says

    June 20, 2015 at 8:28 am

    I spend quite a bit of time on the road. I would use the extra time to do fun things with my family!

  21. Gail Fernandez says

    June 20, 2015 at 8:14 am

    I spend a lot of time on the road for my job, and could really use a GPS. If I had extra time, I could work more.

  22. Geoff K says

    June 20, 2015 at 5:41 am

    I spend about an hour a day on the road with commuting and traffic, and with the extra time I’d probably exercise or read more than I’m able to now!

  23. Thomas Gibson says

    June 20, 2015 at 5:36 am

    I live in small town so traffic is not an issue. If I was stuck in traffic, I would probably talk on phone.

  24. SallyC says

    June 20, 2015 at 4:54 am

    I have a short daily commute, but at least twice a week i am stuck in traffic. If i could get that time back, i would use it to catch up on my reading.

  25. Kathy Pease says

    June 20, 2015 at 4:17 am

    I don’t spend a lot of time on the road but this would be great for vacation and I would spend the extra time laying on the beach

    June 19, 2015 at 9:04 pm

    No longer commuting, but would love to miss construction and bad traffic when going to my friends and on trips.

  29. Rosanne says

    June 19, 2015 at 8:46 pm

  34. Michelle S says

    June 19, 2015 at 9:05 am

    We spend a lot of time on the road during the weekends. If I had extra time I could relax instead of being frazzled.

  35. Tara O. says

    June 19, 2015 at 10:02 am

    I probably spend an average of an hour or more a day on the road. With the time I’d save I might actually arrive to places on time! Ha!

  36. Nancy Loring says

    June 19, 2015 at 4:19 am

    I spend too much time on the road. With 3 teenagers on traveling sports teams I am driving all over the state and into other states for games. I have become lost quite a few times but we call those times adventures, Somehow we always make it on time.

  37. Aaron Shapiro says

    June 18, 2015 at 10:10 pm

    I work nights so I don’t spend hardly any time in traffic. No one is on the road when I go to work and everyone is on the other side of the highway when I go home. Its nice!

  38. Leela says

    June 18, 2015 at 5:01 pm

    We spend a lot of time out on the road.

    June 18, 2015 at 10:25 am

    my husband is a truck driver so he spends a lONG time on the road… this would really help us out!

    thank you!

  42. Michele C. says

    June 17, 2015 at 10:58 pm

    Thank you for the giveaway. My husband spends time on the road every day since he is a truck driver. He could save a LOT of time and come home to us sooner if he didn’t waste time in traffic or looking for his destinations.

  43. Kaitlin Mark says

    June 17, 2015 at 5:11 pm

    I spend about 9 hours a week commuting back and forth from work, fortunately there isn’t ever too much traffic where I live, so I already don’t waste too much time in it, but when there is, I’d probably spend the little extra time to pick up a coffee!

  44. Julie Waldron says

    June 17, 2015 at 3:02 pm

    I don’t spend a lot of time on the road but I’m bad at directions so this would definitely help

  45. tina reynolds says

    June 17, 2015 at 10:56 am

    Spend more time enjoying a trip instead of frustrated and lost

  46. Heather Hayes Panjon says

    June 17, 2015 at 10:24 am

    I Spend Around 5 Hours A Week On The Road. I’d Spend The Extra Time Entering Giveaways!

  47. Laura S says

    June 16, 2015 at 4:16 pm

    It’s only a 15 minute drive for me to get to work, but if I go anywhere other than that it can take up to an hour to get to something on the other side of town. I’d be able to spend more time playing with the kittens if I had this TomTom

  48. Karen Drake says

    June 16, 2015 at 7:45 am

    I don’t spend very much time on the road, I would spend my extra time relaxing in front of the tv.

  49. Daniel M says

    June 15, 2015 at 6:19 pm

    I don’t drive as much anymore, can’t afford gas and hopefully this will save more avoiding traffic and getting lost

  50. Julius Bufkin says

    June 15, 2015 at 5:26 pm

    Since i had a stroke in March I do not drive as much. I would love to visted my family in another state.

  51. wen budro says

    June 14, 2015 at 3:46 pm

    Since I moved away from Southern California- not nearly as much time on the road. I would spend the extra time relaxing on the porch with some coffee.

  52. John Kivlen says

    June 14, 2015 at 3:04 pm

    I travel about 15 hours a week and time is a valuable commodity so I would probably slow down

  53. Christina Sparks says

    June 14, 2015 at 12:49 pm

    When I travel a couple of hours, I would use the time to stop off at a scenic scenes and take pictures.

  54. Michelle W says

    June 14, 2015 at 12:09 pm

    I don’t spend a lot of time on the road but the time I would save would let me catch up on my shows from the fall

  55. Brian M says

    June 14, 2015 at 10:24 am

    I would love to win the Tom Tom!

  56. Robin Abrams says

    June 14, 2015 at 9:31 am

    I spend alot of time on the road daily I have to run my kids and grandkids everywhere.

  57. Robin says

    June 13, 2015 at 6:30 pm

    I spend about a hour a day on my commute for work, the time I save would be spent with my family.

  58. Rick. says

    June 13, 2015 at 10:31 am

    I spend about 1.5 hours per work day. As much of that is in the morning, I would sleep in a little longer with the extra time.

  59. Deb C says

    June 13, 2015 at 12:05 am

    I spend about an hour a day, often in traffic. I could spend more time with my feet up at home!

  60. Birdiebee says

    June 12, 2015 at 1:31 am

    I spend about 3 hours on the road and it never fails that I get lost at least once a week. Wow, I would go work out at the gym if I had more time.

  61. michael neubauer says

    June 11, 2015 at 1:03 pm

    Great prize I would never get lost again

  62. joni says

    June 9, 2015 at 11:25 am

    I would make more tourist stops on road trips knowing i wasn’t going to get lost.

  63. Joanne Gregory says

    June 8, 2015 at 6:54 pm

    Not much on a daily basis, but we take long trips at least 4-5 times each year so this would really help with our travels.

  64. Lauren Olivia Wood says

    June 8, 2015 at 12:57 pm

    I’m always on the road, heading somewhere. I would spend the time I save with my family.

  65. Betty B. says

    June 8, 2015 at 11:16 am

    4-5 hours a day. I could be spending it with family, reading a book, or enjoying the nice weather.

  66. Bradlee Wilson says

    June 8, 2015 at 10:07 am

    I spend quite a bit of time on the road, I travel not only for my wife and I to be able to reach beautiful hiking destinations (some 5+ hours away) but I also travel for business to deliver & install signage for my company (once again some days I drive nearly 400 miles back & forth).

    The TomTom GO 500 would be an awesome addition to our car since I currently use Google Maps on my iPhone which can drop reception on major highways leaving me stranded for 10-15 miles at a time with traffic updates.

  67. honestyseasy says

    June 8, 2015 at 10:54 am

    Living in the NYC area I spend a lot of time in traffic!! This weekend a visit to the family took 2 hours driving there and 2.5 hours back. I could watch two whole movies in that time I”d save!

  68. Darlene Carbajal says

    June 8, 2015 at 8:11 am

    I don’t spend that much time on the road! lol

  69. Tiffany S says

    June 7, 2015 at 4:56 pm

    We spend a lot of time on the road in the summer when we go camping. I would spend my time relaxing.

  70. Natalie says

    June 7, 2015 at 2:01 pm

    I spend about 6-8 hours a week driving. This would save me time NOT being lost….happens quite a bit!!

  71. Lisa says

    June 7, 2015 at 12:57 pm

    I’m on the road for a moderate amount of time, especially if I have errands to run. I would use the extra time cleaning up around the house.

  72. Ashley says

    June 7, 2015 at 11:39 am

    I hope I win best of luck to everyone.

  73. Natalie Brown says

    June 7, 2015 at 9:40 am

    I’m disabled so don’t spend time commuting on the road. Although, I’ve always wanted a nice gps system & this one is super cool! I’d start planning some day trips with my new fun system. 🙂

  74. Pat B says

    June 7, 2015 at 9:32 am

    I don’t spend much time on the road at home, but my mom and I take several long trips each year and it would be great to be able to avoid traffic – maybe I’d go visit my brother more often (he lives in Atlanta).

  75. Dawn Monroe says

    June 6, 2015 at 5:04 pm

    I would start planning a weekend road trip.

  76. Samantha Daleo says

    June 6, 2015 at 3:33 pm

    I spend a few hours a week on the road. I would spend my saved time cooking healthier meals instead of having to get so much fast food for lack of time.

  77. paige chandler says

    June 6, 2015 at 1:34 pm

    Constantly getting lost need it bad !

  80. Jerome says

    June 6, 2015 at 5:52 am

    I’m constantly travelling in my line of work. I would use my saved time to play more video games!

  81. gandorf57 says

    June 5, 2015 at 9:31 pm

    I spend atleast 3 to 5 hours a day on the road everyday. I would spend more time enjoying the rest of my life.

  82. Mary B says

    June 5, 2015 at 6:12 pm

    10 hours a week and time saved would give me time with family!

  83. Karen says

    June 5, 2015 at 2:37 pm

    We love taking road trips, most of the time they are short ones, but last year we did a 23 hour one. If we could get around traffic, we would def have more “fun family time.”

  84. traci says

    June 5, 2015 at 12:00 pm

    definitely more trip time than road time

  85. Lauren says

    June 5, 2015 at 10:42 am

    I spend a lot of time on the road on weekends. I would be able to spend more time at my destination instead of in the car!

  86. Austin Baroudi says

    June 5, 2015 at 8:55 am

    We spend a lot of time on the road. We’re always off to somewhere. I’d use the time saved spent with my little girl!

  87. Jill Rivera says

    June 5, 2015 at 3:17 am

    My husband work in the city to avoid a traffic jam is less stress on him.

  88. anthony ciofani says

    June 4, 2015 at 9:19 am

    it would give me more time to take care of mom.

  89. steve weber says

    June 3, 2015 at 5:14 pm

    I spend a good hour or 2 on the road every day with the daily commuting.

  90. linda w. says

    June 3, 2015 at 5:00 pm

    I always have to leave at least 20 minutes earlier because i know i’ll be stuck in traffic going to work. I could see my daughter off on the bus instead.

  91. Elizabeth H. says

    June 3, 2015 at 2:29 pm

    I am on the go a lot and I like to take trips. This GPS would come in very handy for me.

  92. Lisa Coomer Queen says

    June 3, 2015 at 1:18 pm

    I don’t spend a lot of time of the road but my husband does! Wow! He would save so much time and would be able to get home earlier and spend time with us. Thanks!

  93. Carolyn Massey says

    June 3, 2015 at 11:40 am

    We make two trips a year to Tennessee and there is always road construction. This Tom Tom would help locating the traffic and going around it saving time on the road.

  94. Rachel Starkey says

    June 3, 2015 at 11:38 am

    I spend several hours a week on the road. I would spend that saved time at home with my family!

  95. Sean says

    June 3, 2015 at 11:57 am

    I’m on the quite a bit with work, making appts, taking kids to and from to many locations. This would save me time from getting lost and getting to places in a timely fashion.

  96. Amanda Alvarado says

    June 3, 2015 at 11:55 am

    It’s not too bad – usually takes me about 15-20 minutes to get to work. I’d probably have more time to fix dinner if I had one of these!

  97. Ashley C says

    June 3, 2015 at 6:32 am

    My DH and I both spend tons of time on the road traveling for work. With the time I saved i would love to spend more time with my family and making sure the house is clean!

  98. Alina Conn says

    June 3, 2015 at 7:28 am

    It takes me about 1hr and 10 mins to get to work and get back home. I’m also running a lot of errands with the children throughout the week. This would be handy to have to get me from point A to B without wasting time getting lost.

  99. DEBIJOT says

    June 3, 2015 at 3:58 am

    I spend a lot of time on the road and would spend the extra time with my family.

    June 2, 2015 at 5:38 pm

    I don’t drive much during the week but I do on the weekend and make a long trip once a month. I would spend more time with the family.

  103. Randy Fulgham says

    June 2, 2015 at 3:51 pm

    maybe 40 hours a week –sometimes more –this would still be a life saver

  104. Buddy Garrett says

    June 2, 2015 at 1:00 pm

    I spend about 4 hours on the road. I would spend the time saved by hiking and spending time with the family.

  105. Cassandra Eastman says

    June 2, 2015 at 10:56 am

    We spend quite a bit of time on the road. We love to travel when we can! I’d spend extra time stopping to let our legs stretch on trips instead of being lost!

  106. tat2gurlzrock says

    June 2, 2015 at 10:38 am

    I could spend more time with my fiance’. The traffic is terrible here.

  107. Bridgett Wilbur says

    How much time I spend on the road varies, but we do love road trips and this would be a huge time saver for us.

    My time on the road varies by day. Sometimes it’s a lot and other times not so much. I would use my extra time to read more books.

    We spend a lot of time more on the road during summer vacation, on road trips. But with all the extra time i save with this i would use it to make a few more stops while where on the road to check out new places, like shopping centers and restaurants.

    I spend a decent amount of time on the road. I would use the extra time to go to the gym!

    I commute 1 hour a day on the road. I would spend the time I save by reading a book

    We spend lots of time on the road. We have family that lives out of State and we often take 16 hr rides each way to visit every couple of months.
    I’d use the time that I save to spend more time with my family.

    Half hour commute to work and them later to home. I would spend more time with my family!
