I think that not providing a bt headset is a good thing.
It always griped me having to pay for something I didn't want and was never going to use. |

That's better.
I'm not a fan of suction mounts. |

I must admit I never had an issue with sun glare when I had the RIDER on my ST1100 but then it was located high on the instrument binnacle so kept fairly level.
That's strange. Mine is mounted high u ... |

The TomTom device which most desperately needs a sun visor is the Rider.
Think I'll email them.  |

An interesting read.
Back in September I made the same decision to leave my PND at home, and relied on TomTom on my iPhone for a trip to the US. Washington up to Pittsburg, down to Nashville, then ... |

Navigate to contact works for me.
I don't know why - I didn't do anything - it just works. |

I jump red lights all the time.

Yeah, sorry Darren. You're right.
It's just so easy to have a whinge at TomTom though because they have a history of tardy phone compatibility. They normally add a new phone to their list about six ... |

Never mind all that.
I'd be happy if TomTom would just make data transfer work properly between the iPhone and Rider, so that I could use Plus services.  |

Has anyone tried this update on a Rider v1? Think I am running 6.54 or something and don't know if it is worth updating this.
Any comments appreciated.
Yes, I've done it.

I'm just pleased to see the poor relation of the TomTom range finally getting a software update.
Now all they've got to do is sort out their diabolical phone compatibility list and I'll be ... |

I don't fancy a tank bag. I prefer to have my satnav mounted higher up so that I only need a quick glance at it.
Can't say I blame you not intending to buy a bike satnav. I've got a Rider and it is ... |

Is this why I cannot find a compatible phone from Tom Tom's list for my newly purchased 720T. None of the phones TT lists appear in the current manufacturers listings.

I'm glad it works Wing1, and hope it continues to do so.
I am looking forward to receiving my new docking shoe with a bit more confidence now. |
