Well, I suppose my original question boils down to "is this a good deal or not?".
I'm thinking not because it seems to be a discontinued model. It's not on the Garmin web site, as far as I can see ... |

Search and ye shall find.
Sorry... I was looking for info on the DS55 itself and couldn’t find anything specific. Didn’t think to look for that topic. All looks rather bleak and I think I’ll be ... |

I've just seen a Garmin DS 55 MT-D EU on offer at Halfords for £149.99, which looks like a good offer. However, I'm concerned about how the traffic works as I'm not familiar with the Garmin options.

No - haven't done anything yet. Was thinking about it and then we had the lockdown and my car has hardly moved since! No need to spend on a new device and I wouldn't be able to test it properly either ... |

Thanks again.
I have used the mobile TomTom app in the past when visiting my brother in Canada - as a cost effective way of getting maps for that country rather than buying them for my device. I d ... |

I'm wondering how well the reversing camera works. I'm thinking of getting a DriveSmart 65 MT-D and adding a reversing camera - probably the BC 30.
Has anyone any experience with the reversing came ... |

Hi filbert42,
.....
Please note that this is purely my own findings and what works for me may not work for you. Also, Garmin may well be better nowadays. But as a TomTom user, I suggest that you bor ... |

Thanks for the info - sounds like I'll be going Garmin. I do use POIs and the ability to choose the icons to go with them.
I'm going to have one last attempt to get the TT sorted but I'm not optimi ... |

I have an ailing Tomtom 1000 Go Live that is starting to misbehave (refusing to connect to the traffic servers is the worst issue). I'm not keen on the current crop of Tomtom devices due to the vast r ... |

Well .. this is a depressing thread! My GO Live 1000 has virtually zero battery life and the map subscription has now expired. TT offered me 20% off a Premium 5" and I was certainly tempted. However, ... |

I won't buy another TomTom PND again until TomTom bring back all of the features that their PNDs from 10+ years ago used to have - especially fully custom POI support that showed the POIs on bo ... |

I'm wondering how good the iPhone app is when compared to a 'real' Tomtom hardware device? The screen shots I've seen look similar.
I have to confess that I don't get on that well with the iPhone v ... |
