When I think back to the early days of the new GO still stand the hair on me. Since bucketful was Bulls *** distributed over the Navis. In my opinion most unjustly. Before the GO 6000 I went live with a GO 1015. OK, it was something totally different and new. I also have some features missing that I would like to keep, but the improvements have most watched weighs.
Because I want to mention a much stronger and better the GPS. TomTom gets its signals from GPS and GLONASS satellites. Because, unlike the old GO 1015 barely Empfangsabrüche. When GO 1015 it was enough when you're down times under a slightly wider bridge and the GPS receiver was gone. Sometimes it took minutes until it was subsequently found again. This is the GO 6000 and the here and now-reviewed GO 6100 not the case. Good and stable Satellitenempofang are guaranteed.
In addition, the re-calculation of routes is much faster and better by equip. When GO 1015 I had often had the problem that I get my new and faster routes through the alternative route search itself because Navi has this not calculated automatically. In the new generation that is also not the case. I am full-time to the worst rush hours in traffic on the road. And that in the Ruhr and the Rhineland. Who knows knows what I'm talking.
Gradually TomTom upgraded by updates on the Navis by new futures will be provided. These are well thought out and work at first well.
The reception of the Traffic information (in this case the GO 6100 and GO 6000 on the SIM card) works much better and more stable. When GO 1015 I drove in between every now without HD Traffic and had me extra one RDS / TMC Adapter for 50 euros to buy so that I had at least TMC. This cable I have then gained for the GO 6000 which to this day but had not even be used for traffic information because I, except for a few minutes, constantly had connection to the servers of TomTom and thus was well served.
Who has only ever driven a certain time with the new TomTom GO 6100 will probably want to have no more different from Navi. HD Traffic is currently still unbeatable. Since neither Garmin comes with with Updates Every Minute update on DAB with Nokia Here. However, two minutes intervals at TomTom are too slow for us in the Ruhr region for a perfect navigation. I do not know if that's possible via SIM card but the update cycles should definitely be reduced.
However, to me the radius of the traffic information is personal too small. Since I am often away (between 50 and 60.000km per year and from north to south and east to west) is important to me that I'm informed about the traffic situations which occur already in 300km (or more) away. This is in Tom, Tom unfortunately not the case. Since then a premature select a wide detour also not be considered and you will be performed only once in the direction of blocking or jamming. Sometimes it is too late for adequate avoidance. With today's technology, it should get for his chosen route from the beginning to the end of the route already in departure traffic information to be possible.
The Sprachbedinung the GO 6000 and 6100 is an absolute disaster and useless in my opinion. Until I entered a destination via voice control I'm already three times finished typing, if it works at all.
Conclusion: All in all I can the TomTom GO 6100 but exhibit a very good report and I recommend it, not least because of the great and detailed HD Traffic on. By constantly upgrading through updates will also constantly improved. Free map updates and radar warnings are also still with the purchase price in it. What more do you want. I give the GO 6100 good 4 of 5 stars.
