i haven't had a new tom tom for wow a long long time
just got a via i have found good and bad
the maps and free maps is nice they added back ways to places
but im still let down tomtom most every nav fails to have true back roads planning
to me it dont seem that hard a option to stay off main or whatever
then do the normal destination settings but tomtom tells me its to hard
beats me im not a programmer but its sad i like the back roads
just road names no route no highway nothing just roads its relaxing
when you got the extra time but i guess its true millions of roads
could be be a major pain but they do already do thousands
millions of highways who knows its not a bad gps there current
what tec support showed is as close to back roads as they have
is goofy all over the place one time almost a circle just to get to a road
and other flaws but i see progress but it has to many things going
on in IL by Chicago i got a ding and traffic looking signal
allot of to many going on things that it should just say stop
dang dinging and icons a accident waiting to happen sorry may be wrong area for
this post just allot to me after being out for so many years the maps
have very nice highway exit views so easy to know how to exit
the trip i used it on i was able to drive around like i knew where i
was or from the area my old tom couldn't do that so i guess until
it gets better im happy for now
