A couple of Q's about a new Go400

Hi Guys

My trusty old 530 has died just before I need to make some journeys, so I nipped out and bought a Go400 as it looked like a decent replacement unit.

However, I didn't realise that the smartphone connected aspect needed to be run via tethering, which is no problem as I have it on my 5s. But does anyone have an idea of data usage for say a 200 mile trip?

I was expecting it to be done via location services and push notifications rather than a constant connection for the traffic and cameras.

Also, how do you change a route to an alternative, on the old style units you could just tap it and get it to reroute but after a quick test in the house that doesn't seem to be the case on the new one.

Thanks in advance

At this point, it is not possible to select an alternate route on that model.

But the unit will reroute if I make a conscious deviation from the route?

I've planned a journey and the unit has opted for as much motorway as possible which means an extra 11 miles on the route over an A road link onto the motorway I know which at the time of morning I'm expecting to travel will be pretty much empty.
