After a stop out of curiosity at the Garmin Zumo 390lm I was really looking forward to a new TomTom.
First impression of the box has been very positive. Clean design, precious materials, what more could you want. The keyboard or the touch screen has a smile even drawn me in the flat on your face, because the reaction was not as sluggish as the predecessors.
So assembled holder from the motorcycle and so. The connector is a good solution, no problems when installing the cable. The bracket which had made a good impression in the "dry", disappointed at the latest after the Navi the first time depends on the bike and you try to use. The holder is the pivot function so limp that it takes some 3-4 touches to the touchscreen realized this.
During the trip, the device wobbles diligently to himself. Reading is nevertheless easily possible. I do not know how long it takes on bad roads until the device simply flies away.
The menu is, I call it this, "would like Next Generation". Definitely great thought, but in the end unnecessarily cumbersome and complicated. When you first click on the screen came a tour proposal directly. Had been looking forward directly, finally a very useful function.
On the first attempt to enter a destination by name prompt followed by disillusionment. For Step 3 touches are necessary until finally can enter a destination. Needless! To build from the then entered a destination "round trip" designed so cumbersome that I asked myself while trying already for the first time whether I should better send back the equipment.
Before you can "Start guidance" or click on in TomTom German "Drive", the Navi must be calculated first. Why then click at all?
The map is held in any pale tones, "would like to state". The formerly beautiful contrast display has completely disappeared, the super functioning Autozoom they have also destroyed. Besides "route information", by which TomTom understands lying on the way gas stations, rest areas, etc., there is no way reveal additional information. Height, direction of travel, etc., there is simply not - or are not good at intuitive menu hidden. - Since Garmin is intuitive and each of times a Garmin had, will know what I mean.
The round symbols above the product image of this circle with 3 points is so tiny that it may take several attempts while driving to meet these.
Transfer routes from the PC to the device only on the SD card, so also here over the difficult times.
POI management - nil.
Finally TomTom also has the function away which one allowed to choose the size of the streets. For this you can now regulate the mountain, if that makes a difference I could not test in the short time.
Whoever was responsible for the development and the launch of this Navis at TomTom heard immediately dismissed.
Apart from the look and feel I have not a single positive aspect found that I could list here.
- The navigation system goes back repays.
