@theunits3 Maybe im a dummy but.. Can u please explain the hype around "Google Live search" feature? How is it better than the Native search thats inside the app already?? The search also gives u address, phone number, directions.. AND WORKS FASTER!

I know everything "Google" is good and yummy and great and everyone is hyped at the very word.. but in ACTUALITY, what functionality does it actually add to the app that wasn't ALREADY THERE?? (and working faster than the new google live search)

[theunits3]

@SIRUS80 I guess its experience. Google have been well known for their search features. Take a look at the maps app in the iPhone - why did Apple go with Google? Simple, it was and is the best (UI and functionality). Yes, the TomTom appisnt that bad but Google beats it.

navigon still eats this !

[theunits3]

@gsharpshooter80 I should really try Navigo, heard good things bout it

TomTom Live Traffic is a Strange Feature. It just shows u where traffic is on your route , doesn't actually re-route you!!! Even when u press the "minimize time delays" button. Well...at least u get the Joy of ANOTHER payment on top of he expensive app...arrgghh!!

Other than that the 1.3 update is quite good, I must say.

[theunits3]

@SIRUS80 interesting, if that is the case - its kinda useless. No wait, its pathetic.

Copilot is unreliable, sometimes it just doesnt find your position. Entering a destination can be a pain in the backside and time consuming compared to tomtom. The 7 digit postcode search on copilot does not give you a single address but like a dozen roads to chose from sometimes your destination road aint there!

Also the routes that copilot gives is useless far too often sending you on 10 20 or 30 mile detours that nobody wants regardless of what setting you have it on.

Nice review. I think I'll go with TomTom just cuz I tend to have more faith in big brands.. Thanks for the video!

[SIRUS80]

@SIRUS80 Google app beats it by which parameters, my friend? Both apps have the SAME MENU :-) and do the same function.. except one thing (and feel free to test it yourself) - the TomTom app streams seach results as soon as you type 1 letter, where as the Google one takes much longer to generate results.

Ur a thorough guy and always base opinions on specifics, features etc.. Which features does the Google app have that make it a better experience than the native TomTom app?

what camera do you use for your videos, what size of memory card do you have in it.

@Mrshane2010 No, u did not.. But for an EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE product (with extra subscription fee on top) to live up to your level of appraisal and hype should be able to make waffles and tea for breakfast!! Well.. if not waffles then at least fuck*n RE-ROUTE!!

Ur a GPS for christ sake! If i take the wrong turn it re-routes me, right? So it know hows to do it!

WHAT GOOS IS A TRAFFIC FEATURE IF IM SAY IN A NEW CITY AND THERES TRAFFIC AND BECAUSE IVE NEVER BEEN HERE BEFORE I CANT REROUTE MYSLF

[Mrshane2010]

@SIRUS80 i never said it re-routed you did i?????
