So my 8 month old TomTom **** the bed and was replaced by a TomTom Go
60. It's going back today. They totally closed the system so you can not
put in any personal way points, voices, color schemes, period. The
interface has also changed so the current time, voice control volume and
mute, next turn repeat, and several other settings that used to be
either on the display, or available with one touch of the display, deep
into the menu system which is unusable as is most of the display as Tom
Tom has decided we only need one color scheme and it's pastel, grey, and
even more grey. As much of a rant as this is, I *literally* can not see
the screen anywhere in my vehicle during daylight hours unless there is
heavy cloud cover and like I said, TomTom has decided that we don't need
any other options there... I spent a lot time with support for TomTom
and it's clear they have not addressed any of these issues since last
year, and don't intend to any time soon with the Go series Tom Tom...
so, it goes back today, so disappointed...

I've had great luck with my Garmin, although it and I may disagree on the best route every now and
then. And I can't understand why the directions going are often different than the directions
returning, assuming the traffic hasn't jammed up.


I had the two ways coming and going with Tom Tom too.. I found once that
a long entrance road, or access road getting on or off a highway can
make a difference and send you to a totally different direction, etc...
only takes a few seconds of calculation to make one direction shorter
one way and longer another.
