Well, TOMTOM clamped to the PC and check for updates. After a few minutes, and then found (at our line 2 Mbit) loaded almost six hours down. New device for 6 hours updates, well I wollte.Nun navigate immediately, there are faster lines, but just to get a freshly bought equipment on stand waiting six hours? If the requirement is to have before buying mentioned werden..Free Lifetime Maps on what I had just gotten myself into? Can I still use the device if you have a computer? According to. Stiftung Warentest that best currently. Uh, the unit thinks just 2% again loaded the website My TOMTOM 19%. I'm confused .... - Wait 6 hours are long.
Well, for Langsamsein takes two who sends and receives. Is it perhaps not in my line? Bin otherwise pleased with her ...
No tickets available. So, again update 6 hours ... A colleague asked directly Have a TOMTOM? I know that from my father, now has his second. So well-known problem, why it is not called prior to sale? Confusing and, on the PC screen, the update is always faster than on the device itself, what's wrong now, how much longer for the update? On with supplied cable can not lie, that would be too short for the delay ... browser seems to be the way, no matter (Firefox or IE) the TOMTOM software installs a service that works in the background (of course you have to log in to TOMTOM anyway and needs to a browser). After the third unsuccessful attempt, I gave the device to my colleague, it has a faster Internet connection. Possibly it works so because, if not, pack up and return. But either way, TOMTOM devices with faster internet connection usable? The free Lifetime Maps are yet included in the purchase price, although without it and go with old maps? If I had a computer, I must probably for TOMTOM a purchase (+ the fee for an Internet service provider fast DSL connection). I live here more rural, with fast Internet connections, it is because as a Sache.Ich obviously can not evaluate all Navihersteller but TOMTOM should be able to come up with even a better solution. Also I wonder what Stiftung Warentest has tested so (or under what conditions) to the device to issue such a good judgment. Somehow required in practice
Tot told my colleague the next day and gave me back the Navi. I started it and found myself in a similar BIOS screen (black with white letters and built HW and state listed) again. Battery status showed 98% capacity, the date was on January 1, 2000 is reset. The unit goes back to Amazon, there is no problem. Even Amazon is not the manufacturer and can not be held liable for hardware problems. Anyhow, we suspect some sort of loose connection between battery and electronics. Regardless, people should take care of it from the compartment. Return was already a problem. Hermes, only have the far and wide no shop here and I would have until the next place curves to find a delivery point (the then is?). I sent with another service which was on its way, albeit at their own cost, but who pays my time and kilometers to use the selected service from Amazon?
The replacement unit came within a few days and just needed 4, 5 hours for a Update.Für the last 50% then only 1 hour (my line but now not fast but that the 4.5 hours skin-friendly way). The unit was to bring only once up and running one. The TOMTOM Server allows each account that you have set up there, only one device and was obviously not agree with my replacement. The server needed, if you try the error message again later ignored and repeatedly tried a good half hour the old appliance throw out and to recognize the new. Who wants to listen to music in the meantime, this can then do so in the phone queue TOMTOM. I have certainly achieved anybody and eventually abandoned. The music was ok.
Again, no map found. I proceed to support instruction, so again. Alas, only four hours (but when they were then told it would take TOMTOM only half an hour longer -. I gave it to him before I went to bed). The time that I have been frittered away with the device extends loosely around with maps can be found on paper for the next few years the way or to take a taxi testing in the next town. So a Navi to be a relief? For whom the manufacturer? Who thinks the way lt. Support page a possible cause of cards could not find a separation of the device from the computer to be. Do not have but, not even wiggled the cord. I'm thinking of half a dozen other ways a. But who wants TOMTOM yes apparently did not know (or knows herself). Eventually the replacement device lived again. Let's see whether it navigates. For the next Navi there should be one, I give less money no matter what the aforementioned Foundation says. Only under the present conditions, it will not be a TOMTOM.
Two stars only because it works now, but cost me too much time has to bring it only once in the position. The pretense of speed limits, I'd rather keep me anyway at the roadside signs. The displays in the instrument arrived very late and it may not even know each construction site. But this weakness are other Navis have allegedly also. The screen size (and map display) help in unfamiliar surroundings definitely.
