Dreadful. The software on my four-year-old TomTom One was far more sophisticated than this!
The volume doesn't increase/decrease with the car's speed, the voice is tinny and hard to understand, there is no option to fine-tune a route (eg by avoiding a certain road or town), the speed camera warnings are frequently at the wrong speed, causing unnecessary beeping, and the camera warning flash obscures the next section of road.
Fortunately, the traffic information didn't work on mine, so I was able to return it.
NB My model was the 1390T (same but 4.3" screen)
