lost another 90 minutes of my life sitting in traffic on the m25 thanks to tomtom's server being down yet again,
cant be done with this crap service that I'm paying for.
time to go and check out what the other competitors are like .

I feel your pain, ended up stuck between junctions 28 and 27 this morning due to lack of HD Traffic.

No doubt TT's way of trying to get us to upgrade to the new models where you connect via your mobile

What a complete mess TomTom LIVE has become. Hate to say it too, but time to look elsewhere. Garmin?

Ditto here with no live services at all on the journey to Cheshire from Nottingham.

Big fan of TomTom but even I'm starting to consider the alternatives.

I didn't check the network, but I did get a message saying "Ooops. We are having a problem with our server, Try again later". The service was off from 04:15 when I first switched on and was still off at 09:35 when I switched off. In this time I tried rebooting twice to no avail, but funnily when I switched the unit back on at 09:55 Live services were working. This was on a 1005.

I was connected fine, but the traffic indicator just went round, and round, and round ...

It was down for me this morning (it had been down a couple of days last week), but all was well on way home.

It was very irritating being down this morning with the weather around here being likely to cause traffic problems

However I am not sure there is yet a real alternative to live traffic - so I did renew over weekend as it is better to avoid 90% of the jams than be caught up in 100%

Staying on the (rather off-topic) theme of Skodas, my Dad had one of the first VW/Skoda cars - a Skoda Favorit Forum Plus. I even remember the registration :/

It wasn't a great car, but it was much better than their previous ones. And, unlike their comparative Eastern European rival, Lada, they've actually gone on to making some good cars. I'd say they're a pretty respectable company now.

So, as a slang name for Vodafone, I'd say that calling them Skodafone was actually a complement Wink

I did email TT support about their servers not being operational and gave time dates and places when Ive not received any live traffic info - they replied by telling me to reset the unit etc.

I really don't believe they even read the content of the email they just appear to sent out standard replies.

It would be an idea if TT had a status page on what was operational and working.
