I was the proud owner of a GO950 Live. It did everything I wanted, only sometime the maps were outdated and the Live Services expired. Well I made a big mistake, because I chose a GO 1015, instead of updating my old. Sure, the display is better, no different, because it reflects more, and the route is calculated more quickly. But there is a lack of other places that I never expected. TomTom has made a fresh start with the firmware and this is a lot more useful features of the old software has not been adopted, which is a shame. So sooner cards fault on Mapshare could be communicated and other users could download these changes. I also could previously use for example English voices. Today the choice is limited, and the so-called premium voices (which read the street names) can not be supplemented. So you have to live with the voices of the Tomtom has pre-installed for each sales region. A backup of eg created favorites or routes is not possible. Routes with multiple stops are not planned. Even earlier lists of the Points of Interests could be downloaded or a compass will be displayed. All functions that I wanted to not miss a long-time users. Unfortunately, TomTom has but this, in my view, and the view of many of the relevant forums placed the emphasis wrong and put on such a great features like Twitter, Expedia, etc.. Sure, the nice Eergänzungen which could be integrated into a stable firmware, but first should agree the base. The application for the computer to manage the devices a "banana software" (slowly matures at the customer) is, I mention here only in passing.
As this premium device makes at least the simple basic functions correctly I give 3 stars and hope for the Q1 / 2011 (not 2012) promised features zumindst come in 2012. finally ...
