Hi

I currently have a tomtom 520 which is in need or replacing - actually, I just fancy a new unit!

The 520 has been good but the bluetooth has been the biggest let down. Often, during a call it will lock up and although the navigation continues to work the unit make a looping noise which requires a reset.

So, the choice is the tomtom 550 or the garmin 1490.

I used a friends 1490 today and was quite impressed. Obviously it would take a little getting used to but I am after advice from existing users.

I would be more than happy with the more famliar tomtom but is the awful bluetooth sorted?

Thoughts?
