Not user friendly
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 versatile product covering car and motorhome
Good well presented screen with options to plan routes for both Car and Motorhome.
Christmas gif
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.
Am pleased with this satnav
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
Had always used my phone as my satnav. Decided it’s time to use a dedicated device. Good screen size and responsive touch screen. It’s also fast to search and load up the map. Don’t expect it to be as responsive and fast as a smartphone – but it’s the best user experience I’ve ever had for a dedicated satnav device. To make to most of the satnav make sure your phone has WiFi hotspot or Bluetooth tethering. I tried both and the latter is more battery friendly. One downside is the map is not as updated as those you find on online satnav/mapping apps – even TomTom’s own map on the Android app is more updated than that on this device – in spite of TomTom advertising that there would be weekly updates.
Connection to PC / My Drive Connect is intermittent: Set up is awkward
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.
Great SatNav from TomTom
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.
Great upgrade from the Tom Tom Go.
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.
Ok
Id like a case to put this satnav to protect the scree
Well made quality product.
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.
Great Sat Nav with Many Options
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.
Absolutely love this TomTom
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.
not quite as easy to use as my last Tom tom
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
Affidabile sempre
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.

What can you say...its a TomTom
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
Best ye
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
ice big display
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.
Gutes Navigationsgerä
Im Vergleich zu den zuvor benutzten Naviagationsgerten von Konkurrenzfirmen fand ich das neu erworbene TomTom Go Discover gut in der Verwendung, Einstellung und Genauigkeit. Ein Punkt Abzug wegen der unvollstndigen und nicht brauchbaren Betriebsanleitung aus dem Internet.
Easy to use
Great product
Probably the best Tom Tom I’ve owned
Doesn’t loose Bluetooth connection
Also has POI
Definitely would recommend
Ich bin sehr zufriede
Alles perfekt und auch eine tolle Displaygrsse. Wird die Windschutzscheibe zu warm von der Sonne zum. Beispiel wrde ich mir eine hhere Saugleistung wnschen. Da fllt das Teil schon mal ab, wenn das Auto im Stillstand zu warm wird….
Great at what it does
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.
its big but 10/10
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 …
Mixed Feelings
I bought a 6″ Go Discover to replace my Go 5200, which had recently given up the ghost. The Go Discover should be a top of the range product and I wanted to see how much better the new TomTom range was than the Go 5200. The answer is a mixed one. In some ways the Go Discover is better, but it is also a step backwards.
What is definitely good about the Go Discover is the sharp 6″ display. The processor also seems to be much faster than the Go 5200 and that shows (e.g.) when you use gestures to scroll and re-size the display. There are also improvements to the screen layout. Advanced junction information is much improved and shown in a blue rectangle in the top left corner – looking much like a road sign. Although, confusingly, the colours for current route and alternative route have been reversed from what I am used to with the Go 5200.
I also like having the route cancel button and to be able to toggle between voice instructions, alerts only and mute, on the main screen rather than on the separate menu screen. When following a route, the relevant menu options are now presented as a popup rather than a separate menu screen. Inexplicably, you can no longer see the current time when following a route. This is annoying and does not even seem to be a selectable option. Yes, I know my car also has a clock, but it is really useful to have all this information in one place. Also, there seems to be no way to change the volume level without cancelling the current route and then going into the main menu system.
The Go Discover also displays a list of petrol stations and fuel prices as an option on the search menu. Fuel prices also appear on the 3D road display when driving. This is a “nice to have” feature, but I doubt whether I would ever use it to save enough money to justify a separate subscription once the first year runs out. At the time of writing, it would be more useful to know if a given petrol station has fuel in the first place.
However, the real downgrade is the lack of a built-in SIM. Instead, you have to use your phone and bluetooth tethering to get access to real time traffic and speed cameras. This makes it far more clunky to use than the Go 5200 and I am starting to wonder if I should not have bought up one of the remaining (and discontinued) Go Premiums. Why have they done this? Having a built-in SIM made the TomTom so easy to use. You just switched the Go 5200 on and it worked. Now I have to remember to switch on bluetooth tethering and position the phone so that it gets a good 4G signal. This is not an issue of using up my phone’s data allowance – there’s more than enough available – it is about convenience of use. If TomTom don’t want to pay for your SIM, then at least they should provide a SIM carrier so you can add your own data only SIM.
Perhaps you always have bluetooth enabled. I always switch it off when not in use in order to preserve the battery. I also live in a household where we share bluetooth peripherals and it is simply anti-social to leave bluetooth switched on when you are not using it. Otherwise, your phone might grab a peripheral that some else is attempting to use, who then has hours of fun trying to work out why they can’t connect.
Initially, I found connecting my phone (Samsung Android) to the Go Discover problematic. Through trial and error, I found that it is best to switch on bluetooth tethering before you turn on the Go Discover. Then it works. Otherwise, you need to enable bluetooth tethering before bluetooth itself (which you then don’t have to do as enabling tethering also enables bluetooth). If you enable bluetooth first, then all you get is an error message on the Go Discover. Also, if you have problems connecting, you should always tell the Go Discover to connect to your phone rather than the other way around.
The Go 5200 also supported hands free telephony when connected to your phone through bluetooth. Again, that feature is missing from the Go Discover. For me, this is no big deal, as my car sound system has a better hands free option. Your mileage may differ.
Another difference is that speed cameras only show up in the right hand route bar when you are almost on top of them. The Go 5200 showed them as soon as they were in range of the route bar. I would much prefer a compromise and, even better, a configuration option to restore the original behaviour or change the look ahead distance. There is a similar issue with petrol stations where you only see the next couple of stations rather than all in range. The counter-argument is that speed cameras and petrol stations are less likely to obscure more important things, such as roadworks – but perhaps a more inventive approach would have been better, perhaps with the icons alongside each other or swapping on a timer when overlapping.
Otherwise, the speed camera service is much as before, except that you only get the first year free, instead of a lifetime subscription – which the Go 5200 came with. In the end, this is about whether you pay upfront or instalments. I would prefer to have the choice rather than an instalment only option.
The Go Discover is a good product, but I am disappointed that there are several areas in which it is a step backwards from the Go 5200. I hesitate between 3 and 4 stars because of this. In the end, I felt that it was not bad enough to deserve on 3 stars – but only just.
Sehr gu
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.

Hohe Qualität mit Wermutstrope
Das Gert ist seit einigen Wochen bei mir in Gebrauch. Da ich nicht wei, was “Saugleistung” sein soll, habe ich hier keinen Stern vergeben. Das GO Discover ist bei der Routenberechnung extrem schnell und przise und lsst m.E. keine Wnsche offen. ABER; es fehlt eine Sim-Karte, die in meinem zweiten und “alten” Gert enthalten ist. Die Notwendigkeit, die Internetverbindung via Bluetooth-Tethering zu gewhrleisten, ist zuweilen unzuverlssig und immer wieder hakelig. Das ist der Wermutstropfen.
Expensive and excludes features of previous models
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.
super quick awesome device.
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.
Great Sat Nav
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!
une belle définition d'image!
s beaux produit et rapport qualit prix trs bon! Par contre impossible de changer la batterie comme sur tous les TOMTOM! Il faut protger l’appareil du soleil car derrire le pare-brise la temprature atteint des seuils levs et la batterie Li-ON souffre durement. Ainsi je n’ai pu garder mes autres TOMTOM que 2 ou 3 ans. Avec celui-ci je fais vraiment attention de mettre un linge pais entre l’appareil le soleil ( en t dans le sud de la France ).
Best Tom Tom ye
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.
Fantastic piece of ki
Works very well, clear easy system to use and easy update
Much faster and improved user interface compared with 6200 model
Delivery was fast, 2 days before announced deadline.
The device is very much improved compared with previous models, very fast and better user interface.
The only minus is the simm card which is missing, but you can connect the device to your phone for traffic informatio
buona visibilit. Migliorato l’attacco: basta collegare la base al cavo USB e il dispositivo si attacca con un magnete. Pi facile l’azione di attaccare e staccare il TOMTOM.
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.

Every time I buy a new sat-nav, I wonder if this will be the last one and should I be shifting over to apps on my phone instead. I have been using TomTom since the very first Go model and for various reasons, I like having a dedicated, seperate unit for naviation. My car has an out of date, rubbish system built in (no apple / android support) – my phone has google maps and Waze, but when it comes to long journeys, I just like to have a proper sat nav that just does it’s thing.
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.

Sehr gutes Navi..ist auch Zeit geworden..
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.

Goog HD maps
Not tryed it yet but the maps are in hd
Nutze den Go neben einem fest verbauten R-Link (ebenfalls TomTom). Nachteil dort: Updates fr Kartenmaterial, HD-Traffic und Radarkameras sind kostenpflichtig. Und das nicht einmal billig. Da rentiert sich ein Go recht schnell. Zudem kann ich den Go im Zweitwagen ebenfalls einsetzen. Die Einrichtung ist in 15 Minuten erledigt. Die Verbindung mit einem billigen Smartphone (“Chinakracher”) luft absolut stabil. Klar: Hotspot und Tethering mssen aktiv sein. Routing ist wie bei TomTom gewohnt sehr gut. Die Darstellung luft flssig. Routenberechnung rech flott. Eigentlich nutze ich gerne die 2D-Ansicht; da funktioniert der Zoom aber nur mig gut. Schade. Aber 3D ist o.k. Der verbaute Akku ist reichlich schwach. Insg. htte ich mir auch gewnscht, dass TomTom am Konzept der verbauten Sim-Karten festhlt.
Klasse Gerät und sehr zuverlässig
Sehr gute Qualitt und sehr genau. Die Anzeige ist gut erkennbar. Die Straen wurden bislang alle gut erkannt und schnell gefunden. Staumeldungen wurden verlsslich angezeigt. Es gibt zudem eine Radarmeldung, sehr praktisch. Umleitungen oder Strassensperrungen wurden ebenfalls verlsslich angezeigt. Was will man mehr!? Jederzeit wieder!
I have just returned my 7″ Discover for a 6″. The 7″ doesn’t fit easily under the screen of either of my cars without obscuring the view, even though I’m 6ft tall and prefer an upright driving position. The hi res screen is superb, so the smaller device, which also has hi-res will be better for me and I suspect also for most users. Even the 5″ is worth considering, you’ll get the same live traffic etc
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.
Das Gert vermittelt einen qualitativ hervorragenden Eindruck, klares Display, hervorragende Saugfhigkeit, der Touchscreen funktioniert perfekt, Update via W-Lan klappt einwandfrei, Lautstrke drfte fr Cabriofahrer etwas hher sein, die Bedienung ist, von der Sprachsteuerung mal abgesehen, sehr einfach. Leider verfgt die Routenplanung ber keine Mglichkeit “Schne Strecken, ” Kurvenreiche Strecken” usw. auszuwhlen.
Insgesamt ist das Navi absolut empfehlenswert, auer fr Leute, denen die Sprachsteuerung wichtig ist. Denn die ist absolut lcherlich! Ich nuschle nicht, spreche keinen Dialekt und trotzdem: Wenn ich Nrnberg eingebe, kommt Hrth, sollte der richtige Ort doch ausnahmsweise einmal verstanden werden, klappt es schon bei der der Straeneingabe nicht mehr. Wenn ich “alle verfgbaren Befehle” eingebe, wechselt die Karte in die 2 D Ansicht. Befehle wie lauter oder leise funktionieren einwandfrei. Aber schon eine Routennderung, wie z. B. Autobahnen vermeiden usw. ist schon via Sprachsteuerung nicht mehr mglich.
Trotzdem wurde ich dieses Navi sofort wieder kaufen.
Not much to dislike – the biggest gripe is you have to download updates for maps using wireless – you cant use the USB cable to use your cable internet.
Gutes Navigationsgerät mit einem Manko für mich
Das mit gelieferte USB Kabel hat einen abgewinkelten Stecker auf der Navi – Seite. An sich finde ich das gut. Da es keine USB – C Ausfhrung ist, kann die Kabelfhrung nicht zur anderen Seite gedreht werden. USB – C wre in der heutigen Zeit Pflicht. Auch finde ich den Kabeldurchmesser als zu dick gewhlt, es ist dadurch etwas steif.
Avec le GO Discover adieu les rponses au appel entrant du tlphone, l’cran semble plus petit (en hauteur) le GO6200 devais faire 6,2″, plus de carte SD, par contre la rsolution est gnial le WiFi rapide, l’interface est plus pratique. Encore quelque MAJ et je suis sur que TomTom devrait faire des prouesses avec cette appareil.

Leistung und Navigation TOP
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.

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.
Ein neues TomTom mit integrierter SIM-Karte wre mir auch lieber gewesen, immerhin war das ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal fr TomTom bei den lteren Gerten. Wohl aus Kostengrnden (SIM-Karte + Datentraffic) hat man diesen Weg verlassen.
Und so haderte ich auch, ob der neue GO Discover meinen 5200er ersetzen knnte?
Ich gab ihm eine Chance – die Ersteinrichtung verlief problemlos via WLAN, Anmeldung an mein bestehendes TomTom-Konto (ja, mehrere Gerte unter einem Konto sind seit einiger Zeit mglich), Firmware war bereits die Neueste, Kartenupdates gesplittet nach Lndern. Man kann alle aktualisieren, oder nur die, die man braucht. Das spart viel Zeit!
Europa ist komplett vorinstalliert, aber das Gert ist mit Weltkarten ausgestattet, so kann man die bentigten Lnder nachinstallieren, oder unrelevante lschen und wieder laden, es geht nichts verloren und mit 32 GB Speicher sollte man fr die meisten Einstze gerstet sein.
Anschlieend habe ich die Anmeldung in MyDrive vorgenommen und so sind auch alle meine eigenen Adressen und Orte wieder da. Einfacher geht es eigentlich nicht.
Die Datenverbindung fr Verkehrsdienste, Tankstellenpreise und Blitzer wird ber das Smartphone aufgebaut, auch dies kann man bei der Einrichtung sofort erledigen, oder spter nachholen. Dies funktionierte mit meinem iPhone 11 Pro auf Anhieb, aber man muss den “Persnlichen Hotspot” einschalten und anschlieend den TomTom via Bluetooth koppeln.
Da oft danach gefragt wird: Auch fr Deutschland sind nach wie vor Blitzerwarnungen verfgbar, aber man muss sie explizit aktivieren.
Ich bin jetzt 3 Tage mit dem neuen Gert unterwegs gewesen, allerdings vorwiegend im Stadtverkehr. Die Datenverbindung zwischen iPhone und dem TomTom GO Discover war jederzeit stabil und auch nach Verlassen des Fahrzeuges und zurckkehren haben sich beide automatisch wieder verbunden. Sehr gut! Ebenfalls wurden alle Staus, Verzgerungen und Blitzer gemeldet, bzw. angezeigt, wie ich es vom GO 5200 kenne. Das hat mich sehr angenehm berrascht und meine anfnglichen Zweifel aus dem Weg gerumt.
Den neuen Prozessor merkt man immens! Alles reagiert flott, ob die Adresseingabe, oder der Aufbau der Kartenansicht, etc. Da war der alte 5200 zuweilen schon recht nervig.
Die Bedienung stellt TomTom Kenner vor keine Rtsel, kleinere nderungen sind gegeben, aber es ist weiterhin alles intuitiv.
Die neue Kartendarstellung in Grautnen gefllt mir ebenfalls sehr gut (auch wenn es ein bisschen an Garmin erinnert), wirkt hochwertig, natrlich begnstigt durch die HD-Auflsung des Screens. Aber auch das war ein Schritt in die richtige Richtung.
Wobei es zuweilen noch hakt, sind die aktuellen Kraftstoffpreise. Diese geben nicht immer den tatschlichen Stand wieder. Ich wei aber nicht, auf welche Daten TomTom dabei zugreift.
Ansonsten gibt es die bewhrte TomTom-Aktivhalterung, fr die 7 Zoll Gerte wohl mit zustzlicher Feststellschraube wegen dem Gertegewicht. Das Kabel ist ein weniger dicker und auch der Ladestecker von der Stromstrke hher dimensioniert. Also fr einwandfreien Betrieb das mitgelieferte Zubehr verwenden!
Nur als Hinweis fr Nutzer, die Kabel oder Stromanschluss versteckt verbaut haben und nun mit dem neuen Gert verwenden mchten.
Ich bin sehr zufrieden und empfehle das Gert weiter.
Latest TomTom make this the 'Apple' of sat navs
Just got this as an upgrade from a Go 5200, and have been very impressed with it. The thing that hits you first is the quality of the screen, with a much higher resolution than previous TomTom Go sat navs, and it is incredibly clear. It’s also very responsive for things like dragging the map around and search, and quite happily plots 3 alternative routes to a given destination without any delay.
The navigation and menu interface is slightly different to my Go 5200, but you quickly get used to it. The additional services of fuel prices and free parking spaces I can see coming in very handy – will be interesting to see if I feel compelled to renew them after the 1 year free trial.
Otherwise it’s the usual TomTom qualities – decent route calculations, accurate traffic, and clear spoken directions. Increased frequency of map updates over previous devices (weekly, I believe) will also instil further faith in its routing.
Only a couple of things that put me off giving it 5 stars – firstly there’s no built-in data connection (it uses your phone instead), and also it doesn’t handle hands-free phone calls or display incoming messages from your phone – all of which my Go 5200 does. I understand that most cars already support hands-free, however displaying smartphone messages is less common in cars – which my Go 5200 filled the gap for. Hopefully this will come with a later software update though.
That all said though, these are fairly minor niggles on what is otherwise a very premium sat nav, which I’m very happy with.
