TomTom GPS after 1 yr of using this device!
1) The battery is holding less charge than final yr, but it nonetheless lasts 6-8 hrs without needing a charge. Not an issue for me, simply because I use the car adapter the majority of the time.
two) I drove to Canada, and also the maps were accurate! In fact, I liked that TomTom nonetheless told me the speed limits of the streets. (Sign stated 100kph speed limit, TomTom confirmed sixty mph limit.) I found this helpful so I didn’t have to squint in the tiny “kph” on my car’s speedometer. I have made this journey prior to in the past (without my TomTom), and I selected to “Avoid Tolls” on this journey. TomTom found a very nice route that I had not known about. It utilized IQ Routes to obtain me about the rush-hour visitors as well! I utilized the “Itinerary” feature for the first time, and found it worked fairly well. I programmed 6-7 destinations the evening prior to my journey. The subsequent day, I simply opened the Itinerary and it asked me if I needed to journey towards the 1st 1. I also ended up re-ordering a location to later on in the journey, and found an choice to re-order. Extremely helpful!
three) I up to date my map just as soon as (right prior to my journey to Canada). I installed this on a brand new pc. I was worried that TomTom wouldn’t ‘know’ that I was qualified for free maps on my new pc. But, I had no issue whatsoever! For all those of you who don’t know, all your map updates, downloadable colour schemes, icons (etc) are done via the TomTom Home software. You produce an account with TomTom, and also the TomTom Home software uses that account to ‘know’ you’re qualified for Life time Map updates.
four) I did discover 1 piece that doesn’t work for me. I cannot use the “Safety Cameras” add-in from TomTom Home. I haven’t researched it though. I got an error communication when trying to add it. No large offer for me, since I only planned to add it for curiosity. A quick Google search didn’t expose it as a widespread issue. I will update this evaluation if I discover a cause/solution.
five) Yes, the GPS nonetheless “pops off” the mount as well easily. It bugs me every so often, but nonetheless not sufficient to purchase a various mount/base.
six) Am I in the marketplace for a brand new GPS? Nope! Still very pleased with this 1. (I got ill of every other GPS within six months of using it. But, understanding I nonetheless love this TomTom after 1 yr states a lot!)
Good job TomTom, you exceeded my higher expectations. Thank you!
