TomTom update breaks satnav live links

No surprise

I bought a Go 520 "With Music" - which hyped up the iPod connection.

Without warning, the last update (over a year ago) broke the music function - not completely, but it never updates the currently playing track name. TomTom promised a fix "soon", I chased, no update. I guess it'll never happen.

On top of that, GPRS connectivity was flaky - they said it was Orange's fault, Orange blamed TomTom.

I gave up and now have SatNav (not TomTom) on my iPhone.

Ah, TomTom....

Whenever someone is coming to my house and they mention 'SatNav' I have to ask "Is it a TomTom?". If they answer in the affirmative, my reply is "Don't take any notice of that, it's wrong and you'll end up in the next town, outside a house that has the same number as mine, and the same street name, but a completely different postcode!" - Garmin, on the other hand, will lead them to the correct house.

TomTom's lost it

This is merely the latest episode in a long line of tomfoolery. Their system still refuses to recognise my Go530T as eligible for Traffic updates since they inadvertently managed to disable that function with a similarly half-baked update some time ago.

Paris, because that's probably where you'd end up when driving to Penzance.
