My GO 700 resets in the same place every time. Travelling from Rotterdam to Barneveld in Holland, on the same stretch of motorway the GO resets - but resumes the same journey. Luckily, it is at a poin ... |

Sorry Nich, I can't resist this....

In Holland I travel through a number of tunnels, including the Benelux tunnel which is deep and about 1Km long. ASN kicks in and does a pretty good job of keeping track. However, the accuracy of the ... |

Methinks Almahadeus doth protest too much.
His only criticism seems to be about customer support - and I cannot comment on that because even after purchasing 5 GOs (4 classics and one 700; all for ... |

Can't comment on the phone compatibility with TomTom bluetooth but can recommend the GO 700 - I upgraded from a GO classic and use my GO extensively in Holland where I'm working at the moment. Colleag ... |

Yes, this has been asked before - but some time ago now. The GO reading of speed is accurate - typically to within 1%. By law, car speedomoters must NOT over indicate - so if the TRUE speed of a car ... |

Check output of car adaptor - if it's 12v then you have fried your GO.
If 5v, then perhaps on/off switch has jammed. Try removing the fascia and re-fitting. My GO classic did this once and has bee ... |

Deleting voices is the key as stated by sgould. But, use the original CD application to do this - simply because you can be certain which voices you are deleting and which you are leaving.

I've just upgraded my classic GO to a GO 700 ; the classic is destined for my son so that's another member of my family who will be introduced into the GO community!
