The TomTom Start 60 has everything I need, a large clear display, very simple route entry (by postcode no problem) or change, everything is on the big screen at the same time visible as current time, arrival time and remaining time or remaining kilometers. The navigation is made very clear, large Small Turn, very clear trace display, eg for departures from highways. Previously I had a Garmin, its navigation was not so pleased, the track information was very confusing in part and the remaining meters to the turn came the Garmin principally toward never, so I rushed past so many times.
The battery lasts very well, after 2.5 hours of driving, the battery indicator still showed half full on. Here it is not apparent when loading (with USB power plug) when the battery is full. Therefore, I leave before a longer trip the device load 3 hours that should be enough.
The fact that the device can not find GPS signal and this takes a long time, I can not confirm. The signal is displayed in seconds and TomTom is immediately einsatzbereit.Einige criticized the integrated mount, so that I can live very well and find this feature very useful.
What I had to get used again, the browser interface, as the device is no longer recognized as a drive on your PC and thus no direct access possible ist.Was have they devised to bring out a garbage I still thought, how do I get my example Bruce's voice or other files on the device? Had me first googled sly. Is simple as I thought, simply click on My TomTom in the taskbar, then click Add community content click, then opens a new browser and you have the chance anything like POI, pictures, vehicle icon, warning, or voices add. In addition, you can store his favorites on the PC. See also video!
With the updates, there were no problems. What I do not so much that you can not select individual countries that you really need. (Important for users who have a lame Internet connection) I am interested in Eastern Europe, for example, does not give a damn.
The start 60 I now have just over 4 weeks in use and have not regretted the purchase.
Update 15/02/2014
The update function is in the last few weeks a disaster, there are always 12sec remaining time, even with the smallest updates from a few k / byte appears and nothing happens. My tip to simply unplugging the device sometime this newly starts by itself. According to support the updates are up to date. This issue has not changed until today. That's why I shortened the Star award on 3.
The following response I received to 10 January 2014:
Dear Mr G.
Please forgive the inconvenience with the upgrade.
With this update, it is most likely to Map Share corrections.
Our engineers have confirmed to me that your device everything is fine. The Aufspielung of this upgrade takes (it depends on the number of corrections from) takes a maximum of up to four hours.
In the system, it can be seen that all Aktualisierunge finally works.
It is currently being maintained it to shorten the Aufspielungszeit. The engineering department deals intensively with these problems.
