Does it work on a Porsche 911 Carrera ?

It looks like a lame question but i need to know if TomTom Go works fine ( without the need of any additional antenna! ) in this car!

I bought in the past a palm computer + tom tom navigator 2.0.

I never really used it! Too many wires ( and the connection between my palm and the gps was bluetooth ) and my car looked too messy with this combo inside.

Tomtom go seems much more user friendly but i need to know if it works on my car!

Thanx

The windshield on the Porsches is pretty flat (good for reception), and as far as I know is not tinted (no metallic coating).

You may run into problems with the suction mount, though - it is not very suitable for highly curved windshields. Best would be to use another mount (Brodit recently introduced a dash mount).

I have no problems using Tomtom Go in my Boxster. As I understand it the windscreens are of a similar constrution so you should be fine.

It works fine in my Robin Reliant, and that's made of the same material fibreglass 8)

the only problem i find is, the TT Go get to it's
destination an hour before I DO. :D

Works fine in my TVR Cerbera, and that's got a windscreen like a letterbox. OTOH, the rest of it is made of plastic... ;)

What's the problem here? I compared to my car which, although not a Porker, shares some traits, namely:
a) pretty quick (can travel a long distance between screen updates!)
b) steeply raked windscreen
c) very curved windscreen

In fact, IME cars with steeply rakesd windscreens give better satellite coverage. Only trouble you're likely to encounter is that when mounted at the bottom of the screen so it can rest on the dash, the GO is actually too far away to touch the screen without leaning forward Sad
