Since our old tomtom was over 10 years old and map is expensive, we bought this to go to France this half term. Very disappointed to see how the screen info changed. No more current time, but only arrival time. Rout planning is not always given before starting or en route to double check, so we do not guess which route it is going to be. No more current area you are driving on map but only a hopeless measure on right hand side to see how much distance to next garage availability. No more choice of alarm sound, Very difficult to find point of interest choice on screen. It's not that we are not used to this machine but a lot of feature has been changed over 10 years. Our old one was most basic one but had more easy to navigate. Worst of all, it did not even pick up Center Parc more than 5 years old! Also we were taken to middle of nowhere when we set it to famous big chateau which Tomtom had it on list from post code. Village was correct but no chateau to be seen from where tomtom took us. It did not find a lot of place from correct address/ post code. It did not even have some small village in list even. How can it not find a massive supermarket from "supermarket near me"? There is no setting for store" current position" so we keep using our car's built-in satnav (which has no speed warning. so we like Tomtom.) to get back to centre parc after outing. Also it suddenly goes dark and back to setting screen while driving, quite few times. The machine is connected to USB so we do not understand why. It's been a very disappointing buy for us. Next time we might buy a different company satnav.Read full review

Got this to replace an 8year old one which had died. Pros - does the job. Announcing road names useful. Cons- display as just a traveling map(no destination selected) is geographical rather than direction of travel, 2 menu is far far messier than old style and is not instinctive like old machine.3 Display seems smaller despite screen size being identical, I think this is due to the default magnification level which is too small for older generation and cannot be reset as far as I can see, though of course one can adjust magnification whilst in use. Overall it is ok but found old machine had better display, better menus and easier navigation settings and preference settings Would I buy again, maybe as I prefer it to the garmin devices I have also used. You pay a bit of a premium for tomtom over Garmin. It used to be worth it, now not so sureRead full review
