Customer Review

I bought the device 03.2013 Amazon. Right at the beginning of the first shock: Due to the then still somewhat ambiguous Product description I assumed it would be this Lifetime Maps. But it was not.
So the device hanged early April to the PC to perform the update, available for purchase.
In July there was a device crash, thought at first it would be broken, but for info on the forum which was then less wild, only a total crash, sometimes happens, but rarely. But then you have a hardware reset as described perform well and the problem is settled.
Since I had it again on the occasion on the PC, I again tried to aktulisieren the card but was expected to be the message that no longer does that, because only free for the first 90 days.
In October 2013, while driving the joke message on the display: Your card is now over 12 months old, we recommend that you (of course paid) update ...
No idea what this nonsense is, I suppose that this is the reset in July also has card default reset to factory defaults.
But sorry, I feel there are abundant ridiculed!
Something is indeed not at the supposed best Navihersteller the world (have now let me clear up by a friendly Saturn employees that TomTom is not a long time, the title has since gone on Garmin ...).
And the card is really old, every time I drive through Dresdner Waldschlösschenbrücke (with the former world heritage title), I make loud TomTom a free flight over the Elbe, and would you really can ever programmed with 2012 ...
The same kind of experiences I have often in Hungary, where I rumfahre lot, free flights transferred to federal roads, which are already 2 years old!
And last summer, I then times in southern Hungary for fun obeyed my Navitante and not on my Hungarian co-driver and I am smoothly landed on a runway pothole in the deepest forest where the wolves say goodnight, place on the main road, ...
Oh, what has been already criticized the speed information in villages and outside the also rarely the facts ...
I've had enough now anyway, the device ends up soon on Ebay and will be replaced by either a Garmin or a software for mobile phones from Sygic!
2 points just because it otherwise works well, the drive for people only in areas where very rare new roads are being built, it is fine.
