Look what I found on facebook

http://www.facebook.com/TomTom?sk=app_188572237848988

they actually want you to post your thoughts on their traffic manifesto on the TT facebook page - GO FOR IT!!!!!!!

Oh, and I found some geezer called Dennis - he must be annoyed if he joined facebook just to protest against TT!!!!!

I'm trying to drum up support on other forums I use like here

http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/208087-tomtom-hd-traffic-facebook-campaign/

Can others spread the word as well as 11 facebook group members is a bit on the low side for TT to sit up and take notice.

I linked to here as well to publicise PGPSW Laughing

Perhaps if everyone who had this problem applied for an RMA to TomTom to return their item to TomTom for a repair but not actually send it, this would overwhelm their system and raise the issue's profile?

Or just raise a support ticket asking them to pass the comments on to the developers and also link to here and the facebook group, as well as the thread on TTs own support forums.

Facebook group now up to 127 - it has shot up overnight!

I sense exponential growth as the word spreads!!!!

Just seen it is in the PGPSW newsletter +1 Thumbs Up

to PGPSW for the support.

Tweet a link to this topic, or Facebook, mentioning @TomTom to raise the issue on Twitter too. I did one yesterday (I'm @olsworth). Raising the profile is what is needed.

Not sure how do the twitter thing (being 42 Laughing Out Loud

) but the facebook group is up to 140+ this morning.

Anyone who can publicise this please do!!!

Thanks for drawing attention to this. I was thinking of buying a device with Live Services to replace my 720 and RDS-TMC, but I think I'm better off sticking with what I've got.

If TT don't reverse their policy of reducing the capability of their new devices more and more with every release, my next satnav will be a different brand!

I have recently found out where HD Traffic is designed for, my 940 Live Services actually worked (after the delayed start) in the Canary Islands, it correctly reported no traffic delays and nothing was ever more than 50 miles away.

TT have started to listen - this is from their own support forum. Keep spreading the word to keep the pressure on.
