Voice control on the new Garmins (I had a 2390) is perfect. And you don't even have to press a button to initiate it.
Tomtom just need to buy a 2390 and copy that. |

AliOnHols,
No, it doesn't. It downloads all the data, then discards most of it, then uses the remainder to provide ETAs and re-routes. The 1000/1005 has a bonus feature where having discarded the d ... |

So far:
Support are raising it with their concern department.
Rosie (the UK Tomtom twitter account lady) is raising it with the team.
Kenneth (on their forums) is raising it with the team.

I wonder if anyone from TT read this type of thread and if they do, if they take any notice of them. It appears not, but give them time

Dennis,
That's a stunning one.
I have made it into an animated .gif - do you mind if I use it in my battle against TT?

Yes it is, and it is a flawed argument.
1. If you can see the delay you can asses it and make a decision about your overall route. If the delay is 4 minutes and none of the other roads are affected ... |

How frustrating is this to actually see. All the data I want, and it is then removed by a programmer.

It's definitely worse now.
I normally can see all the way to work, but today a 31 minute delay that had been there for ages popped up when I was about 50 miles away.

No, the range on my 750 is just the same as always (so I get the roadworks which are 65 to 80 miles away - the ones the 1005 wouldn't display at home). |

Yes, HD traffic works fine on a 550 (better, in fact, than a new 1000/1005). |
