I believe Nav 5 will be for the most part the same as Nav 4 with the exception of several more useful functions. Nav 4 has worked reliably for me so I am confident with the upgrade.

Program works well but I'm a little iffy on TomTom customer service.

be aware a lot are having problems connecting to non tomtom gps as usual tomtom helpdesk is about as useful as a condom machine in the vatican so if anyone manages to get 3rd party bluetooth gps connected pray tell us all how

so there is no link for download from Tom tom after you pay for the upgrade Sad

????

If we the paying public are now waiting for delivery then that is not good practice after all you could download previous updates from the tomtom site and arent most of broadband now.

Pfff another month then i guess.

Where did it say there would be a download?

Besides, how many discs is this likely to be? Wasn't Europe 9 CD's before? You want to download 5 gig, maybe you do, but think how much bandwidth TT would need for half a million people to download that much Rolling Eyes

5gb that is big for an upgrade I thought it would be smaller.

Big for an upgrade? They are all new maps etc, like I say, TT3 + detailed Europe maps where 11 CD's I think. That is all I'm basing this on.

It is a new version, not just a patch don't forget.

TT4 had the maps on Five CDs and they have only added Poland and Czech republic so I would be surprised if there was much more than 6 CDs unless there will now be more combinatons of coubtries or sections of large countries offered.

I've joined the queue of people waiting for Nav5, hope I don't grow old & die first.

Has anyone got (non pirate) Nav5 yet? If so does the speedcam/POI voice warnings work without a route planned and does Tomtom 'hog' the com port on a Mio 168 (as did TTN3). I have GPSGate, will it work on Nav5 if it does hog the port?

Another thing, when I plan a route from my house (in Murton, Co.Durham) to a point on the way to Durham Nav3 takes me onto the A19 (towards Sunderland, Doxford Park Juntion) then on to the A690. 15 mins 13.0 miles

If I plan the same route from my friends house it take a more direct route (the one EVERYBODY in Murton would use). 15 mins 7.7 miles.

If I set a 'drive-by' to force the common route from my house journey details are 15 mins 7.7 miles (friend lives 100 yards away).

Tomtom insists that in order to save the 100 yards I need to go the 'QUICKEST' route saving 0 mins but adding 5.3 miles.

Using the shortest route is not always an option as it can add too much time to the route by taking all the little shortcuts it can to save yards, ideal for walking or cycling but not by car or HGV etc. as some of these roads are just back streets etc.

How difficult would it have been to include a 'next best option' which would be a compromise between extra time & shorter route?

I know that as a 'local' I do not need to use TTN to direct me one roads I have been driving for many years but if it happens where I live then it must happen elsewhere.

How many of us TTN users would like to run TTN on a desktop for route planning & printing etc. then we could download our itinerary to the PPC?
