TomTom simplifies the satnav

WHY?!? 

Grenade

Does a Sat Nav with its own case, braket, Battery, charger and leads cost £300

when a Satnav with a Bezel - built into a car - ie no battery, charger, complex braket etc costs £1000+

and they wonder why we dont like car companies?

Thumb Down

I had one of these briefly before sending it back. Your correspondent omitted to mention that the first run of units did not support full UK Postcode search - they backtracked on this pretty smartish and have now promised a new software release with this feature working.

Also the "thousands of Points of Interest" are not considering interesting enough to be displayed on the map as you drive. TomTom must think it would be too complicated for the target audience of fashion-conscious trendies, who prefer to see a pink surround rather than useful information on the screen,
