Customer Review

Video at Amazon.com See scope of supply includes:
the TomTom GO 400 with integrated mount,
a car charger
USB connection cable
and an illustrated manual / installation instructions.

Although the integrated bracket is an advantage, the adjustment at the first time is quite difficult to move or hakelig,
so that you're afraid something cancel.
A drop of oil helps, and the holder can be smoothly move-Perfect.

Before going on vacation, you should download the available updates and schedule a lot of time.
The first device or updating incl. Install all updates took me beaten 2 hours.
The map update I could easily using an iMac, with no error messages, performed.

NOTE: If you already have a registered TomTom, the elderly can leave TomTom update again until 6 months, unless,
one turns to the support or created for the new TomTom own account.

I had the problem and was wondering about the following notice on the home page:

"The navigation device connected to your computer is the account unassigned.
Email: xyz
Connected device this account The connected device can assign this account does not currently be assigned. Please try again later ".

The Mac software has indeed found anstandlos the older TomTom, but I refused webpage updating.

I would have liked, that I can add to my account another TomTom easily.
To refresh my old TomTom nevertheless, I had to set up a new account (new e-mail, password were sufficient) me.

The seek and find the satellites as well as the recalculation is done within few seconds and saves time.

Forbidden makes you know, especially a lot of fun and this is forbidden the display of speed cameras in the Navi.
Maybe one goes with this Navi on thin ice when you activate this feature, but you should not rely on the speed camera warnings.
Not all heavy branches are likely to be noted, however, can be reported with fingertip on the Navibildschirm to TomTom quickly.
This speed camera service with updated for free with the first device, which is probably not objectionable, however it is possible TomTom pay this service in the future,
just under 30 euros 1-year safety cameras in Europe with approximately 25,000 safety cameras, or for just under 40 euros for about 30,000 speed cameras in Europe (Premium Service).

Whether speed camera detector is allowed or not is questionable, since there is no clear case law.

As the saying goes on the TomTom website Posted 05.04.2013:

"In Germany law prohibits ยง23 para 1b StVO 75, the use of radar detectors (like." Stinger "), but not by speed camera POI software - a precedent to this, it was not previously documented.
Speedcam POIs can be of a TomTom navigation system very easy to remove. "

But before one gets to the law in conflict should disable this service, we are decent motorists and not rush!
Remain free for the lifetime of the product, the map updates.

Before starting the travel, I recommend a look at the settings menu of TomTom, menu item routing.
In the menu you will be asked if you want to take the "Fastest, Shortest, environmentally friendly, pedestrian, bicycle route and whether highways should be avoided.
Furthermore, you can set if you want to avoid ferries / car trains, toll roads, carpool lanes and unpaved roads.

The navigation is very, very precisely, if one chooses the shortest route.
It may happen that you then any "better dirt roads" drives, as a federal highway (menu incl. Unpaved roads).
The Navi his work has indeed done, because it was the shortest route,
as a driver, one wonders where one comes out when you drive on.
If you look at but once procedures (indeed that is to give it)
If the recalculation of the route within seconds, so that you do not have to panic.
The voice is clear, however, sounds a bit tinny, overrides in other words at full volume.

The new at this TomTom is the operation by finger gestures, as one knows it from smartphones ago.
Although it may still plugged in navigation devices in its infancy, this control works perfectly with sweaty fingers.
The problem arises, however, in direct sunlight, since the reflective, clear display is difficult to see.
Fingerprints, smears reinforce this.
The keypad is me personally too small and you should already fail when entering.
The finger gesture control, I would not last recommend driving because it distracts too much on the small 4.3-inch display.
The menu system is logical and likely to resemble with other navigation systems.

At this point, I refer to my video.

Conclusion: Simple operation by finger gestures with sometimes difficult to read display!
