Customer Review: Third time unlucky
We are just about to take our THIRD Tom Tom 510 back this time for a refund. After moving to a new area and borrowing our friends 510 we decided to invest in one. The first one froze after 3 days leaving us with a white screen. We returned it for a replacement only for the 2nd one to freeze after a week after turning itself off. We took that one back for a refund but after looking around at the other Sat Navs on the market decided that we had perhaps just been unlucky and maybe it was the shop that had a bad batch (yeah right!). We went to a different shop to purchase one and for 8 months now have had no problems…until we could not turn the 510 on one day. After ringing Tom Tom I was asked if I had ever updated using Tom Tom Home (I had not but didn’t realise I had to!) so after being assured that this was the answer to all my problems I tried to update. And failed miserably!! Where does it say that you have to update using your PC for the Tom Tom to work? And why hasn’t it mended my Tom Tom?! I also tried to reboot it using the little whole at the back but this didn’t work either and why should I have to do this??!! Therefore the Tom Tom will be going back (thank goodness for the years warranty!!) and we will be trying another brand. I hasten to add that none of our Sat Navs came from Amazon but I wanted other users to heed my warning!!
Customer Review: My honest opinion.
I’ve had this particular version now, for about 3 months and would like to share my thoughts … 1st off - if you read other reviews you’ll hear a load of complaints, let me put my perspective on things; - Car mount cradle. So far I’ve had no real issues. It can be a bit fiddly to actually mount as you have to twist part of it to lock it into place, but I’ve done it a few times now and takes no more than about a minute. I’ve had no issues with its rigidity or the unit slipping at all and have been satisfied with it in every way. - Taking a while to lock on. Recently a quick-fix has become available which you can download through the TomTom Home application on your PC. I update this every few weeks or so and it’ll acquire a signal in a few seconds. 1 word of warning though (as with most GPS devices) using it inside of buildings / tunnels can mean a loss of signal. But if you’re using it for what it’s designed for, you’ll be fine in my opinion. - Screen brightness. I’ve only once had an issue trying to see the screen and that was on a very sunny day and it was shining right on the face of the unit. Can’t do much about that, but to be honest with it speaking the directions, you should be able to pretty much get about until you turn away and the sun shines elsewhere. My gripes; - I was hoping for a sat nav, which contained a list of the mobile sites as well and designated them as `hot spots’ or something, so I at least had an idea. Thankfully I’ve not been caught yet as I’m pretty sensible, but it’s a bit of a pain in my mind. I would like to say that the marketing literature says it’ll do it, so perhaps I’m missing a trick, but I can’t see where to turn this feature on (if it exists). - Speed Camera updates. You get a 1-month trial with the unit, thereafter you have to pay a yearly subscription - so be warned. Also, they really aren’t that up to date with any of the road work cameras you get all over the place now. Classic example is the road works on the M1 between junctions 31 and 32. It’s a 50 mph average trap and the cameras TomTom says are there have been moved further up or back and it’s a bit of mess. Overall a little disappointed with this aspect. - Bluetooth phone support. If it’s not on their list, expect problems. The amount of times I get it working for several journeys and then inexplicably it stops working I’d hate to think about. Usually means deleting it from the TomTom and then re-setting the connection up. Most frustrating. - Mapping. It’s a bit hit and miss again. My example is on the A1 when it meets the A1M right at the top of the M1. The road must have been changed well before I got my device as although the whole system looked new, you could tell it’d been there for a while. TomTom thinks you’re in a field for about 5 miles, which is quite annoying. Also, I was in Liverpool the other week and it told me to turn left at the top of a road, when it’d been closed to traffic turning in that direction. Again by the looks of the central reservation blocking me, it’d been there for a while. Also, the speed limits of roads can be a bit hit and miss. All in all, a pretty good unit with some flaws. Is it worth buying … if I had my time again I’d likely go with a Garmin or a Strabo, but I’m not rushing out to buy a new one, when I’ve got a good few years of use left in what is otherwise a pretty good product.
