530T mount

I'm thinking of getting a 530T. The mount TT have on these is a 'quick release' type, right?

Are these mounts as good as any or problematical?

See our 930 review here which uses the same case and mount.

Thanks. Very helpful (as always). I noticed in that article it talked about IQ routes. I couldn't spot it IQ routes is updated frequently or not when the TT is connected to home or if it's built into the static map data only. Anyone know?

IQ Routes is a function of the map data so requires a new map to update.

The mount supplied with the 530/730/930 is a very basic one which appears to be perfectly adequate; however, after using one for a few months (admittedly in 3 or 4 different cars daily) the suction is almost non-existant, and the socket around the swivel mount has cracked and the TT flops down under it's own weight. TT charge £20 for a replacement, but they can be found on-line for £8. I have replaced mine with an Arkon (£8 on-line) and it is a million times better.

Personally I went for a Carcomm cradle which is superb.

The mount for the x20 series is identical.
When mine started to develop cracks round the ball and socket joint, I just sent a picture of it to TomTom and they sent me a new one straight away.
Mounts are covered by the warranty too, remember!
