TomTom GO 500 (5 inches) Europe 45 Mapping and lifetime traffic (1FA5.002.02) (Electronics)

Customer Review

TomTom for me is a great value, after the promotion of the GO500 video, I sold my GO630 that after 5 years of loyal service had not a scratch or breakdown.
I sold because of it-had a real change of strategy on the part of tomtom and also design and features.

Most

- Lifetime cards, whereas before you had to pay 39.9 / year (79.9 / year if outdated)
- The HD Traffic via smartphone tethering whereas before you had to pay 49 / year

So do the math, for use in France am I doing for 200 to life.
Whereas previously TomTom GO630 299 + 49 + 39.9 = 744 for 5 years (and I'm nice as rates have fallen since 2008)
The day I am going abroad and I want traffic simply connect a TMC receiver TOMTOM Micro USB not available in France but the TomTom German boutique.

Regarding the pixelated screen personally it does not shock me, and I do not mind it at no nose 20cm and eyes glued to the screen all the way.

- The address search and POI is super intuitive, the "pinch to zoom" is great need to go into 36 menus and sub menus to display and zoom the map.

- Browsing to a known location or a creek along the coast by touching the map (tap & go)

The least

- Impossible to add custom POIs for now but from the support TomTom it will be soon

- Impossible to enter and navigate to a Latitude Longitude +

- No TMC receiver to avoid data roaming abroad (roaming).

In short it is not perfect but i hope but it will get better with updates to navcore and maps.
In all cases I recommend this unit to family and non-professional use that allows to enjoy the TomTom HD traffic on the road vacation.
