So what's up now via the GO 500 to report?
By receiving GPS and GLONASS data twice as many satellites for better reception and faster positioning are promised. This of course is always helpful.
The "Live Traffic" system for traffic information is really great, timely and extensive. Disturbing I feel, however, that this will only work in combination with my smartphone. What bothers me is that. And who cares, who then has to rely just on the "good old" TMC system. That's doing well. Its just average.
The map display has changed. I think for the better. Even the new 3D view can what. Even if it is too much to me occasionally and a comically realities reflected that so do not really exist. Nevertheless, in principle, the orientation is facilitated. Although the "Schnick-Schnack-accusation" is not always entirely dismiss.
All settings you make using the touch screen. Every now and then you make a mistake thereby however. But that is probably in the nature of contemporary operating method, but of course also has a lot of benefits. Specifying a destination with your fingers on the map, however, is still not my thing, and much too imprecise.
Absolutely outrageous in my opinion is the Click & Go Mount. It is stable, reliable and really convenient. The retaining bar is attached to a site once the disc that suits one. And then you need the Navi only quasi "fooled" and the magnetic holder keeps tip. But can also be easily removed and put it in his pocket. When my predecessor device the retaining bar was still connected directly permanently with the Navi. That meant every time before driving a Anbringungs-Gefuckel which finally falls away now.
Otherwise I feel the basic operation and function as a whole and not complicated and mostly self-explanatory. Of course there are a whole bunch of features to discover. But is not a must. Because one in the first place that you can quickly get it to get started, and thus once reaches its destination. Everything else is the "bonus day", to explore and personalize times when one has the time and inclination.
Thus, this machine meets the Great & his whole purpose to bring a reliably to your destination throughout Europe (!), And agrees satisfied. The mentioned shortcomings, primarily the language and the associated potential for misunderstandings, but lead to a deduction of points.
