Unfortunately, some weaknesses

TomTom GO LIVE 1015 Europe (12.7cm (5 inches) Fluid Touch screen, HD Traffic, Google, Expedia, Bluetooth, Park Assist, Europe 45) Since 2 days I am the owner of a Tomtom Golive 1015 Europe, the current flagship of the House Tomtom ,
I opted for this device, because according to the information available to me on the latest traffic information (HD Traffic) of Tomtom do more than any other manufacturer.

For that I have taken it into account that the map display and in particular the Lane Assistant can not compete with devices from Navigon. Even my former Navi Medion could do better.

Unfortunately, I realized that in the map data, or more precisely put some annoying errors in the display of the highway signs.

So I had the lane assistant on Kamener Cross correctly, to keep me on the left, to drive from A2 to A1. But on the sign in the display was shown me that I should go towards Bremen. However, that would have been the wrong way, I should have to keep me right.

Thus, the lane assistant worked correctly, but the display was wrong, the display would have a direction Cologne and not have to stand Bremen.

Because the cross is not just Kamener little traffic, I find that such an error in a Navi in ​​this price range is more than a blemish.

It is also occasionally happened that the voice message has confused in advance the right and left, for example, she said: "At the end of the road, turn left, the route was but before a right turn, which then directly in front turn the Navi also was again set correctly via voice instruction.

But there are - in addition to the aforementioned HD - Traffic other highlights:

- The absolute genius holder: The holder can be absolutely safe and easy to install with the rotation mechanism of the windscreen and the device itself can be quite easily, quickly and securely attached to the magnetic shell and remove just as fast again. Could not be better.

- The operation of the device is very easy even without a manual, even if you, like me, never had a GPS this manufacturer in his hands.

- The address input by voice works well, this feature was virtually unusable in my previous device.

- The Bluetooth - Handsfree to work properly, I do not want to miss already. The there are other manufacturers however.

Conclusion: HD Traffic makes this Navi for me (unfortunately) no alternative. The practical holder makes life easier considerably.
The annoying errors in highway signs and the vague voice prompts but are a real nuisance. Should Navigon what his live - make services As further ground on Tomtom good, then this will probably be my first and last TomTom Navi because due to the aforementioned error I'm pretty disappointed. I would not have expected from a Navi in ​​this price range.

Unless Tomtom rests no longer on his legitimate HD - Traffic laurels and finally improved the map display, lane guidance and voice prompts.

Gimmicks like 3D panoramic view of the landscape or Realistic Cityscape with buildings etc. You are welcome to continue to omit it, I can do without.
