When is 1005 due for replacement ?

[saints7]

Hi all,

Apologies if this is covered elsewhere but I can't find it.

I have a problematic 540 which could do with being replaced.

I don't like the 825 mount and some reviews of the 1005 screen, speed and battery life concern me a little.

Anyone have any idea when a new 825/1005 replacement may be launched?

I don't fancy buying one and then a brand new bigger, better, improved flavour comes out next day

Thanks

Dave

Good question.

The 1005 has been around for a while now. I presume an updated range is in progress but TT won't release details until its ready for fear of cannibalising the existing sales.

I'd love to see a new version with 6" screen. Based on TT having a basic version with 6" screen I'm hopeful they'll create new products based on this size. I would certainly upgrade.

In the meantime I'd recommend the 1005. It's been an excellent Sat-Nav for the last 14 months.

My GO1000 is a little slow at times in responding to touch screen menus, so I assume the 1005 series is the same.

A faster processor, possibly dual core seems to be the way that most other devices are going such as phones and tablet PC's.

I would hope the next-gen Tomtom's are dual core devices.
