You are now the proud owner of the most useless piece of TomTom hardware

What more is there to say? Not just the info in the pack, but also the gismo itself - chocolate fireguards all.

Go get your money back NOW and buy a head self examining kit and a crossword puzzle to do on the M25/M11.

PS Also start listening to traffic news on the radio in your car - Radio 5 (MW 909 or 693) or local FM stations - they'll be just as good as the Tom Tom Traffic PLUS feature.

I bought one of these TomTom TMC recievers a few months ago. I drove around for about 3 weeks with the little orange disc in view but didnt know what it meant, not once did I see the green disc. Then I started reading the forums and realised it was the dreaded reception problem. I hung the unit out of a first floor window and got it working. Strange thing is when I refited it to the car it started to work and has been working maybe 70% of the time since. Im wondering if there is some sort of inteligence built into the software and now its found the frequencies that work it searches those first. Anyway I find its now usefull but waiting for my replacement unit from TomTom when they become available. Hopefully reception will improve and I will get some more coverage.
