As far as the interface is concerned, the TomTom doesn’t disappoint at all, and though we would have loved to have more optimization for Indian roads, the VIA performs quite well. The TomTom VIA 125 is priced at Rs.18,990. On our downtown trip, it worked fairly well for a large share of the journey barring a few problems we’ve addressed in the next section. Also, it’s fairly loud, so even if you’ve rolled down the window and have hawkers and horns blaring into your car, your GPS will be loud and clear.
The voice-based assistant has a clear voice, unlike the accented one that we saw on the Garmin GPS, which we reviewed earlier. Another important factor to note is that the screen doesn’t reflect too much light and is bright enough even when there’s ample sunlight in the background. It works well, just as we pictured it to and that’s a plus. When you overcome that small hiccup, the device starts off the 3D view that shows you where you are, the direction you have to go in and a voice assistant starts assisting you with turns. We took the TomTom out for a ride in our car and here’s what we found.įirstly, entering the address information is a tad difficult, so if your destination is a certain Tarapoor Road, which is quite unknown or is so popular that you have a dozen Tarapoors in your vicinity itself, then you’ll need to gather some patience and find it on your device, unless you’re interested in going on a wild goose chase. The performance of a GPS system is crucial, considering the sensitive, stressful (well at least on Indian roads!) environments you use it in.
