I have a tomtom device unfortunately, and it’s absolutely rubbish.

It outdated slow and incorrect and can be very dangerous. I have contacted there support regarding there dangerous errors but still after a year of owning this rubbish they have done nothing.

Why did I get a tomtom I have to use it in my line of work.
Would I get one if I had a choice no way in hell I could give you a list of errors but what’s the point they know that there devices are rubbish and dangerous and they don’t care.

I bought a TomTom over 10 years ago and it was good but the cost of updating maps, (which I never did), caused me to move to CoPilot on my phone. The map updates are free and it works well.
I do think TomTom were being a bit greedy with the cost of updates.

TomTom announced at CES in January that they have an Apple CarPlay app in beta test. It seems they want to compete with Google and Waze. Time will tell if they make it work, although they do have access to some of the best mapping, but whether it’s as good as Google’s is yet to be seen.
You can apply to TomTom to become a beta tester, so I might try!

I believe that TomTom has lost its way, pun intended . Ten years ago, TomTom made feature-rich products and listened to their customers. Nowadays TomTom's products are seriously dumbed down with considerably fewer features than the older versions. TomTom has failed to listen to customers' requests, in its own forums, asking for the lost features to be reinstated.

Of course the other thing to take into account is that TomTom is renowned for being a bunch of money grabbers without a thought for its customers, and a pound to a pinch of salt they’ll be making a charge for the app.
Considering that both Google maps and Waze are free to use, then I’m afraid TomTom for CarPlay could be dead from the start if that’s the case.

I expect I shall not live to see the day when TT make a success of in-car performance. I'm now on my third in-car satnav (Renault, by TomTom) and the best was the first - as with previous PNDs, they've dumbed down and improved them since, so they are worse.

The latest in-car ones don't offer (Renault don't offer) map updates with the same frequency (even though they price them outrageously, updates around £90 for one Europe map) as TT offer them for PNDs - I got v1011 last November (when it was already out of date) and nothing since. Renault tell me I've got the latest map, but why does it occasionally give me different directions from the v1025 map on my GO6002?

Like I said, I don't expect to live that long, but I wouldn't offer to test drive any Renault with autonomousyness thank you!

If it tastes good - it's fattening.

Two of them are obesiting!!

I'm not intending to be a passenger in any car that hasn't got a proper driver with controls.

If TomTom cannot get a SatNav PND or app right then I have zero faith in any vechicle that has TomTom developered autonomous systems.

In fact, any vechicle that does have a TomTom autonomous system should have flashing red warning lights to warn other road users!
