Very disappointing.
I gave up on dedicated devices about 2 years ago and this new one has nothing to entice me back. I use the iPhone TomTom App which is faster, better screen, does everything I ne ... |

The current TomTom product range for cars feels quite old. I don't recall any new models and I've had my 620 for a year or so.
Has anyone seen any announcements about new models? |

"Quad-core A7@1.3GHz, 512MB LPDDR3 @519MHz so have nearly double the processing power of the previous devices."

Anyone know what the faster processor in the 620 is? The specs always seem to leave that detail out.

Had a very close look at the 620 and I'm really struggling to see why I'd upgrade from the 610.
Wifi - interesting but connecting periodically to my PC and updating maps and firmware isn't a proble ... |

The most recent devices have had a few software updates recently and I've been using my 600 for a few months now.
The new software does improve the current solution however it still falls somewhere ... |

I had similar problem and found connecting directly to a USB port (not a hub) was the solution. (Assuming you have the MyTomTom software installed).
The device never shows as a drive AFAIK. |
