I've been using a TomTom Go 510 since late 2006 and since I do a lot of traveling and many road trips (probably at least 30 a year) it's been an indispensable tool for me on various occasions. However, recently it broke (out of warranty) and a repair would probably cost more than a new device.
So now I'm looking for a replacement and I figured here would be the place to ask which model is the best out there at the moment.
I'm looking for another TomTom brand GPS that:
-will allow me to insert the SD card that came with my TT Go 510 and will be able to import the stored Favorites and such that are saved on there
-will work in both the U.S. and Canada
-will have accurate maps of very rural areas
-will allow you to enter a destination while the vehicle is in motion (I've seen some GPS systems that lock down completely until the car is fully stopped)
-will require the least "paperclip resets"
-will have the best mount so that it doesn't constantly fall off the windshield (this was a big problem with my old one)
-will operate similarly to the TT Go 510 (in that the features would work the same way and be familiar to use)
-will be the most helpful and reliable on long road trips and in unfamiliar places
Given these specifications, which TomTom model would be the best to get? There are so many different models, all with varying features, that it's hard to tell which one would work best given my needs. If anyone here could help me pick out the best model to upgrade to, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
