New range of TomTom PND's coming soon?

ben1390

From the TomTom forums, it looks like a new range is just round the corner.

Hopefully we will see the return of custom POI's

Thanks for that link.

Potentially good news. Hopefully TomTom have come to their senses and are producing a product with features their customers want.

They must have lost a fortune in market share over the last few years.

They need to up their game because Which? have rated Garmin higher than TT in their last 2 tests and possibly 3.

The only things that would get me interested is POI's return and a unit with a built in dashcam.

Agreed, I'd like to see a PND with a built in dashcam too ...

Some of the cheaper makes have this already but they don't have the digital traffic.

Means a single power cable and just one unit to remove when parked.

Yes bulkier but I don't care

It'd be nice if the new units fully supported (i.e. create, modify, delete, etc) third party POIs but based on past performance I'm guessing that third party POIs still wont be supported and TomTom will probably even take away other useful/essential functions! Rolling Eyes

Sounds just the job Very Happy

So Garmin must be following my drivel here then Laughing

Next question is when (UK) ?

Only drawback seems to be a new type of mount so my bespoke ball dashmount will be obsolete. The pros outweigh the con though.

Available second quarter.

Looks like the ball connector is still in use and it uses a ta cable.

So this looks like I will have a spare 2597 and 2599 Rolling Eyes

I hope you can turn off lane departure and collision warning as presumably both are annoying beeps.

Yep, I hope so too. No manual available yet so impossible to say.

Now that we've hijacked a TT thread can a mod split the Garmin bits out Very Happy

Same here.

I like what I see and read but I need to see the manual and also some owner reviews.
