Just got a new Tomtom go 530 very good but you don’t get enough warning when the battery is running down, it would be good to have a sound played to remind you, instead of the thing just switching itself off in mid nav.  |

| Most people run with it plugged into the power supply - if you're in the car, there's no need to run it off the battery. |

| Yes, having either the FM transmitter or Bluetooth switched on really hammers the battery, much more then just navigating. |
