Customer Review: Newly bought aerial picks up signal well.
This aerial is actually compatible with the Tom Tom Go (v3), the non-XL version. This is currently not mentioned anywhere on the TomTom website, although customer services say the website will be updated to reflect this.
I have the aerial mounted vertically and it quickly picks up signal at my home and work, both in London. I have yet to try it on a journey.
It quickly picks up around 40-100 different traffic issues, all in the South-East (presumably because I’m using it in London). Although I’ve yet to verify it, it seems to underestimate the delay due to each issue, e.g. it regularly says a traffic delay will take “1 minute” although e.g. AA roadwatch reports 20 minutes delay.
Unfortunately you don’t get much control over the routing algorithm - you can either avoid all traffic, however long that takes, or stick to the fastest route. You can’t tell it (for example) that you quite dislike traffic, but not to choose a different route if it adds more than 20 minutes to your total journey. Like most of the TomTom software, it seems to be optimized for easy use at the expense of detailed control.
One other general complaint about the TomTom algorithms is they don’t take time-of-day into account (this with software v7.1). They say south London to Banbury, through the centre of London, takes 1 minute 39, regardless of whether I ask at 1am or 7am. At 7am, it would be much higher. The algorithm should really consider time of day and realise that urban roads are slower at these times.
Customer Review: TomTOm RDS/TMC Receiver
DON’T BOTHER!!!!!!
This is the most useless thing I have ever used. I can only say thank god i did’nt pay good money for it as it came with my Go510.
I drive 30000 miles a year and have had it for nearly a year and its only ever tuned in twice and thats to Classic FM! Not exactly the first choice for traffic info!
I’ve spent more time in traffic holdups than ever and now rely on radio reports which use RDS to interupt what i’m listening to, to give me traffic info from local radio stations. Far more helpful.

Customer Review: Very good but it won’t last
I’ve now had two Tom Tom’s, which I’ve found to be very good to use. However, they don’t last. Both failed after just over a year and so I won’t be buying another.

TomTom GO 520/720 Bluetooth Remote Control 
Price: ?34.99
Customer Review: an absolute must
I find the remote control something I can’t do without, driving and having to lean over to touch the screen is so unsafe and impractical. I owned a go 700 and it came with a remote control in the box so am used to use the remote when I drive, but I was EXTREMELY disappointed when I bought the new 720 that this was not included in the box, tomtom charges enough for it as it is and it is an absolute joke you have to buy the remote separately!
