|
|
I used to be able to save off-road positions on the Tom Tom Go, but with the latest update it will only accept positions on roads. This is a shame as I used to put in the positions of viewpoints for photographs and now it won't work. It won't save it as a point of interest either. Shame, I liked that ability.

This was never an option on the other TomTom products, so they just "fixed an error". _________________ Lutz

I would suggest storing the GPS co-ordinates of your favourate positions (on a bit of paper perhaps ancient I know but works), and navigating to those? Dunno if you can do it on GO, but you can do it easily on tomtom3 |

Well I felt it was a good feature before they fixed (?) it! Now i can't even save the poi of my carpark at work - only the nearest known road. Don't know wht it would have been an error before! Den |

Still is a good feature on a PDA, as Mr T says, so let's hope they don't fix it on a PDA!!

There is an ancient engineer's maxim "if it ain't broken, don't fix it!"
It wasn't broken; they should not have fixed it. Like some of you folk, I'd like them to put the GO code back the way it was. |

Surely the maxim is "If it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet?" :D |
