Encountered a number of issues during set-up and operation that require to find ways out from internet. The features are very primitive. Not recommend this device.
Good well presented screen with options to plan routes for both Car and Motorhome.
I bought this to upgrade my husbands old one.
It’s so easy to use.
I know you can get apps etc for traveling but my husband likes the sat nav better.
Pleased with this sat nav, only but needs changing is the charger port in the cradle, as it is at the bottom sometimes falls loose when driving
Connection to PC can be a bit hit and miss with no error code / correction prompts detailed;
Having selected a new “Destination” / POI, sending it to the device can (sometimes) happen with no confirmation message;
During said transfer, all of my existing “My Places” disappeared without trace with no way of retrieving them.
Good clear display once these wee problems have been overcome.
Much more responsive than the previous edition and that alone makes the upgrade worth it. The wifi updating is also, as promised, significantly faster. Some of the new features are not as useful as they are made to appear however, the fuel price feather for example has not managed to give me a correct price yet! All in all though a great little satnav device.
When i first got the unit i was not 100% happy. I connected a few devices to it and it had issues with connectivity. The trick was only connect one device. Once that was resolved i got to say its the best unit to have. The screen is massive and very clear. The processing speed is unheard of. (Really fast)
There is no built in sim so for traffic updates and petrol station prices you will need to be connected to a phone for the data. But it does work.
Would I recommend that’s a 100% yes.
It’s the best Sat Nav out there in my mind.
Id like a case to put this satnav to protect the scree
Upgraded from 6″ TomTom which whilst a good product was a little slow to wake up, and to use. This item has a better screen, more user friendly and quicker to power and go through menus. Like the larger screen and display plus on screen instructions, better all round kit.
Prompt delivery, quality item. Superb Sat nav with many options. Easy to use and great being able to connect it to Wifi rather than the usual Tom Tom lean nonsense. Expensive but worth the money.
I cannot fault this particular model Go Discover with the very large bright screen. It’s so easy to use and is very responsive when giving voice commands. This is my third TomTom and without doubt the very best of features and value for money.
Over all Very good. but some mapping is interesting ie pictogram correct voice commands not correct. and the three route option whilst shown does not give the options in colour just grey sahame as it was better when it gave options in colour. seems like a step backwards. but wifi updating is good and over all I am happy with it Screen is good
Da anni uso il tomtom per il mio lavoro e mi sono sempre trovato benissimo sia per durata nel tempo che aggiornamenti periodici gratuiti, la differenza di questo tomtom discovery lo schermo in hd “favoloso ” ed stato sostituito il processore interno ed ora ha acquistato la velocit quando si interagisce con il navigatore alla pari di uno smartphone lo consiglio.
Absolutely brilliant.
Nice big screen, touch control is great, sound good and accuracy not too bad.
Thought it was missing somethings but have a mess about you find them.
Well worth it. Tried 4 different cheap ones and sent them back.
Real review no pressure sales or marketing to promote my feedback
So pleased with this Sat Nav, brilliant lane direction, probably the best I’ve seen in any Sat Nav. Ok so ma6be having to pay a subscription after the first year of using the feature Live Traffic updates etc not ideal but not a deal breaker for me. Very pleased with this
As a user of Tom Tom sat navs for the last 15 or so years this holds no real surprises.
It boots up a lot quicker than my old one (4 years old) as well as acquiring satellite fixes.
The screen is nice and big showing direction’s really clearly.
Always prefer a separate sat nav unit as opposed to just using my phone with tom tom app.
If my sat nav fails I have my phone to get me to where I need to go if my phone fails I have my sat nav to get me home.
Great product
Probably the best Tom Tom I’ve owned
Doesn’t loose Bluetooth connection
Also has POI
Definitely would recommend
I’ve had Tomtom since they first launched. My last one was to 620 which included world maps, traffic updates and everything for life, this does not which was understandable but a definite disincentive to buy. It also was a hands free if you need it.
This new one is just a satnav, but the screen is much sharper, Bigger and quicker. The interface has been streamlined which means old hands like me lose the ability to customise it like before, but it is simpler.
I haven’t done a big trip with it yet, but so far I’d say it does the main function better, but at an extra cost of about 30pa.
I did try the app which is good and way cheaper, but nothing like as 100% dependable as an actual satnav.
I had expected them to improve the volume, they have not.
Easy to use- easy to charge- it’s quite large –
I don’t think you would suit a smaller car, it just about fits my one. At one stage I thought about sending it back but found the perfect spot just on the window very tight …
Das Tom Tom Go Discover luft ohne Probleme. Hatte vorher auch schon ein TomTom Navi . Bin Auendienst Mitarbeiter und nutze das Navi tglich auf Autobahnen und Landstraen, es ldt sehr schnell die Route und auch bei Abweichungen ldt er schnell die alternative Route. Habe es mit meinem Handy ber Bluetooth gekoppelt und habe dadurch auch immer die aktuellsten Staulngen und auch alternative Routevorschlge. Habe es jetzt seit 5 Monaten im Betrieb und es luft ohne Probleme.
The particular omission that has irritated me is that I am unable to record and safe a route that could be of future value and interest. I routinely used this facility on my GO 5200. On the other hand, the Points of Interest and useful identification lists, such as garages (with car makes) etc are streets better than predecessor units.
Overall I am content with the 90% of what I had hoped for but regret that previous features have been discarded. Mydrive continues to be a very mixed bag with frequent hang ups and difficulties in completing and saving new routes.
Great product, free lifetime map updates and very easy to use as described for the price, well packaged and arrived in good condition – really pleased!
he interface on the go discover 2021 model is super quick, I had to return my tomtom truck because by the time I had put my destination in , I needed another shave it was that slow, but this new model is fast at everything so far cannot fault, shame no sim model out but hoping that the smartphone tethering is just as good .update after a month is , this device is awesome, can’t believe how quick the device is , and the tom tom drive is brilliant to, I would highly recommend this excellent piece of kit. 5 stars.
Faster processor makes it much easier to use. Built in traffic information makes it easy to detour around road closures. High resolution screen makes it easier to follow.
Works very well, clear easy system to use and easy update
L’accoppiamento con il telefono tramite Tethering bluetooth non mi sembra cos efficace come pure la possibilit di inserire una destinazione su smartphone e ritrovarla sul dispositivo: non sempre va a buon fine.
My previous model was the 6″ TomTom Go 6000 – it was good – served me well – although it was getting a bit slow but most importantly the battery was no longer holding any charge. I needed it for a holiday trip and the replacement battery I’d ordered hadn’t turned up in time, so I decided to bite the bullet and upgrade to the 7″ TomTom Go Discover. There were a couple of things that attracted me – my eye sight isn’t what it was, so the extra inch sounded like a positive (as well as the higher res screen that enabled) and the 4x cpu performance also sounded like a good upgrade considering my 6000 was often slow at places like large roundabouts where you don’t know where to exit.
So, the device arrived and in many ways it’s identical to the 6000 – the main thing being that any routes or places synced with MyTomTom are all present on the new device which is great.
The sharpness and size of the 7″ model’s screen are a great improvement – not only is it easier to read the extra features such as traffic updates / POI’s on the map, but you can see more of the surrounding map without having it blocked by the side bar etc.
Yes, it no longer has it’s own sim card for live updates but it’s a simple matter to link it to your phone via bluetooth (you need to turn on internet sharing over bluetooth) and it then gets its live updates over that connection.
The other new thing for me compared to my 6000 is that you no longer need to sync with a PC for updates – it has wifi built when it’s on and in range of your SSID, it will update it’s OS / maps automatically. This is a welcome addition for me.
The OS has also been tweaked since my previous model – I don’t know if it is specific to the Go Discover models but I had no issues shifting from the old GUI to this version – the main parts are the same and the new things are logical and easy to work out – I did not need to read any instuctions or researchign anything – I was fully configured and up and running in a few minutes. It took me loonger to work out how to turn on internet sharing over bluetooth on my phone.
The mount is good and the sucker is large and feels very secure on the windscreen – connecting the device to the mount is slightly more fiddly than the 6000 as the connnector isn’t at the bottom but is on the back so you need to slide it around until you’ve worked out exactly where it is – similarly the magnet holdign it in place is stronger than the 6000 so taking it off the mount also requires a bit more force but once you’ve worked out the best way to do it, it is not an issue (for me, it requires holding it from the top and pulling it down and forward).
The functionality of the device is the same as any other TomTom if you are famiilar with it so I won’t cover that – if you like TomTom’s, you’ll like this.
Whether the screen size or cost can be justified is a personal choice – for me, where my windscreen is quite far from the driving position, the extra screen size is worth it and physically it is not much bigger than the 6000 so it didn’t change anything for me in terms of storing the device or blocking my field of view etc. If you don’t need / want a 7″ screen, the smaler screen sizes would be just as good and cheaper.
I did eventually get the replacement battery for the 6000 (you can find it on Amazon) and it was a very simple job to open the device and swap out the batter (you can find how to video’s on youtube). That fixed my charging issues with my older device, however now I have used the Go Discover, I won’t be going back to the 6000 so will pass that on to someone else.
Achet spcialement pour partir en vacances. Marre de se planter avec les applis gratuites qui buggent ou vous perdent. Simple et pratique impossible de se planter dans les sorties d autoroute. arrive destination sans stress. Je valide. La reconnaissance vocale, pas convaincu tout comme l appli sur tel pour partager ses trajets avec son gps. Globalement trs satisfait.
Die neue Navi-Generation reagiert endlich wieder zgig.
Gut ist, dass man eine Auswahl an gefundenen Strecken hat
Alternative suchen geht auch wieder einfacher bzw. gesperrte Strae vermeiden
Das es keine SIM mehr gibt, ist momentan verschmerzbar, funktioniert mit dem Handy gut
Was noch wnschenswert wre, wenn die aktuelle Uhrzeit auch angezeigt wrde.
Die Vorschau frs abbiegen etc. ist auch verbessert worden.
Nicht ganz so toll:
Die Adresseingabe hat mir frher besser gefallen (Schritt fr Schritt)
Das Display spiegelt etwas stark.
Das USB-Kabel frs Auto knnte noch etwas lnger sein.
Appareil rapide dans les recherches
Propose diffrents itinraires, tout de fois sans indiquer les principales villes traverses
Not tryed it yet but the maps are in hd
No criticism of the device itself, everything works well as most reviews confirm. I bought it for the live traffic, which is astonishingly good. On my first trial run it alerted a 1 minute delay for roadworks near my home which had been ongoing for a few days. As I drove past the works had finished, last traffic cones etc were being collected causing a delay of a few minutes for traffic coming the other way. By the time I returned 15 minutes later the roadworks were cleared, and so had the live traffic warning! Amazing.
You need to tether the Tom Tom to your phone to get live traffic, other users have pointed out that the older devices had a built in Sim, but these are typically 2G and therefore probably will have a limited future. I think the Discover is a better long term purchase if you’re buying new, but if you’re happy with your old 2G device there’s probably less incentive to upgrade
My only gripe is that the there is no option to turn off the map display above a certain speed, which I appreciated in my old Go 520, you don’t need the map when you’re cruising up the motorway when it becomes a distraction, especially with a 7″ screen in your face.
Am Service, Sach und Fachkompendenz hapertz aber gewaltig. Es wirkt alles aufgesetzt und bertncht, weil die Mitarbeiter im Calicenter ihre Wissenslcken zu offensichtlich mit ewigen Rckfragemails und Wiederholungen lngst erledigter Sachen Geschftiglkeit und Service vortuschen und regelrecht suggieren. Es ist einfach nervig bei Problemen. Heute, nach 3 monatiger Markteinfhrung dieses Gertes gibt es immer noch kein Benutzerhandbuch in deutscher Sprache. Viel Alternativen gibt es ja nicht mehr. Garmin hatte auch so einige Probleme.
