Replacing TomTom GO 920 (POIs and Itinerary planning)

DennisN · Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2016 10:54 pm Post subject:

The GO920 is a lovely device. I once tried migrating to Garmin - maybe I didn't give it a fair trial, but I hated it and took it back for a TomTom.

I run a GO520 and TT have said they will continue to work, just won't be able to get map updates - that does not yet apply to the 920, so maps will still be purchasable. I have craftily extended the map service (just hours before TT shut the door) by buying the 12 month AND then the 18 month update service, so I shall continue to receive new maps for another two and a half years.

You can do the same. In your place I would do that - that 920 is so much better than all the newest TomTom devices and you are already expert at using it. And just think what you're saving against the cost of some new, lesser device.

Thanks, Dennis. We may well do as you say.

How can I be sure that the two updates will run consecutively not concurrently?

I'll have a look later. It was just a thought that sprung idly into my head so could be totally blx.

Found it, but it's a bit of a PITA.
From map screen Hamberger ~ Change Route ~ Skip Next Destination ~ Skip. You can also Skip Next Shaping Point.

Happens

Anyway, I don't see it on my 2508 ... must have been introduced on later models?

Yes indeed, Hamburger ... change route ... skip next destination works just fine on my 2599 lmt-d.

But my m8 has responded in the wrong thread.
He must be getting older.

Just for anyone catching up with this thread, it appears the 'skip waypoint' option was introduced on the models released after 2013 as it's not available on my 2508. Unless anyone knows different?

Shame its not made it into a software update for the 2013 models Crying or Very sad
