Hi all,
I am after a new or newish second hand Tomtom.
There are too many differences between the models now, and I read that many of the brand new models, are not as feature packed, as the outgoing models.
I have a 7 inch (diagonal corner to corner) windows based unit, running IGO8 at present.
I don't mind coming down to a 6 or 5 inch, but really, I like the fuller screen size.
Please suggest a Tomtom for me.

I have been using a 750 Go Live for a few years. My partner has now begun agitating for her own Tom Tom unit. I have tried to avoid this for a very long time because of the issues I have had with mine ie. the aggro that a complicated unit can generate. So, I am now looking for the cheapest, simplest to use with an easy to use mount that is available and any ideas that folk on here may have will be welcome.
I will check over the Discount web site mentioned above but which mount is the simplest to fix to the screen and remove at the cheaper end of the units?
Cheers, jack. |

I'll second that.
TomTom, Kent to West Country only shows Clacketts Lane as a Rest area. With iGO you can plan ahead to any of them as a Waypoint.
POI's similar.
Me go back to TomTom? NAH!!! _________________ Formerly known as Lost_Property
