my 1st sat nav.........
as you can guess this is my 1st sat nav. it's brilliant, very easy to set up you do just plug in and go. the buletooth takes seconds to set up. everything you need is in the box (chargers,cables etc......)basicly it's very easy to use and set up. you don't really need to read the instructions.........bliss..........
Nice but outdated and not far from being perfect
C's
1. Maps all are totally out of date.
2. I have for few weeks buy now but Tomtom support still fails from helping me to activate the tomtom traffic using RDS-TMC receiver (it just doesn't work!).
3. Support is very slow and most of the time useless
4. Must be 'reseted' from time to time as it just 'stucks'
5. Tomtom does not offer maps for all of the world
B's
1. Very easy to plan your journy
2. Most of the time it will take you to your destination (probably after few confusions)
3. Nice user interface
4. Good vocal directing
Not as good as expected
I bought my Tom Tom 910 9 months ago with the RDS-TMS Traffic Receiver,
as I travel around the UK and Europe on business and needed to improve my travel times by using the best route and missing the jams. It found some new routes to get to some customers, so was quite useful a couple of times, and the display of the ETA helps in planning journeys and letting people know when you are going to arrive.
The spoken instructions are good, as you don't have to look at the screen too often.
The database of companies only seemed to include branches of Boots and Waitrose, so is not much good for searching for my customers, although post codes are generally accurate. The system falls down when the destination is on an industrial estate. Either the road names do not appear on the map, or the post code takes you to the nearest point on the main road (better than nothing I suppose).
The traffic receiver is almost useless. Either it diverts you because of a traffic jam which doesn't exist, or you end up at the back of a queue that you weren't told about, or it loses the signal and takes a long time to retune! I cannot think of a single occasion where it was helpful. It has now stopped working so I don't plug it in anymore.
Bearing in mind that maps change all the time, I cannot believe that you cannot get sensible upgrades when things change.
When downloading new software, or after a backup there is an annoying tendency for the 910 to lock up, so you have to push the 'reset' button. This is a tiny, almost invisible switch, so you need to have a pin or a staple handy.
There are lots of places selling these so it pays to shop around. Searching on the internet can get you a decent price.
Overall I am not as impressed as I expected to be.
