Based on the reviews here, I have the Go Life 1015 Europe (purchased from Amazon in April 2012) turned first time in the car to see if it works at all before I update it via the Internet.
After a few seconds the GPS signal was already there and that. Without updating the GPS data When Go 710 has sometimes lasted 10 minutes.
I would recommend first time to download the manual at Tomtom and read.
On page 108, then is also clear that we need a new Tomtom account, even if you have, as I have one. So I did this and also works using a new email address.
The first update after the connection to the PC via the My Tom Tom page automatically took place. Here, the map has been brought up to date.
So wait 89 days and then upgrade only the card version does not go.
The Radarkammeradienst automatically updates itself via the Life services. He just does not work properly. Laser flash columns has reported my old Go 710 since 1 year, did not recognize the Go Life in 1015. Even after reporting the lightning pillars to TomTom via the Navi it has several update operations needed. I thought that was weak.
Meanwhile reports the Go Live 1015 the speed camera but all without problems. I was now times in the area of Porta Westfalica on the go and would without Blitzer alert, at night, purely driven in some hidden cameras along the highway.
Super I find the local search via Google. Now, if z. B. you are looking for a specific business, you can search it on Google, is out looking for the right proposal and as destination.
The calculation of routes is fast, but the touch screen responds a bit slow on the inputs.
The congestion avoidance works great and has saved me several times longer waiting times.
Unfortunately, it creates Tomtom no longer deliver the unit with a pocket.
Here at Amazon, there is a "Hard Case Bag for TomTom GO LIVE 1005 Europe".
Since the Go Live 1015 fits in, is indeed made in China but the quality is still good.
Crashes the software I had with my GO 710 at the beginning (even muste times a reset do) because I have not deleted the old route before entering a new route. This might cause an error even when the new devices.
Only four stars because: Manual print for itself; at the beginning lame Radarkammeradienst; no bag included
Otherwise, I am very satisfied.
