I bought the tomtom go expert first but it wasn’t connecting to anything so sent it back and got garmin instead. It works fine.

Biggest issue I've had with it is not being able to connect my phone to it. Could connect my old Huawei P20 but when I got the new Samsung, it wouldn't connect.. something to do with incompatible Bluetooth hardware. A software update on the unit didn't help at all.
So basically, things like the traffic update function is completely unusable.

I had that same issue with my Android phone with the Garmin drive app (the app you're told to download). I looked into it and downloaded the Garmin Dezl app and can get the traffic updates to work on that. For some reason the Garmin drive app doesn't work with Android phones so try the Garmin Dezl app instead. Hope it works for you aswellNeilMr wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 3:39 pm Biggest issue I've had with it is not being able to connect my phone to it.

Garmin won't let you know there's traffic until you're stuck in it.

Used the TomTom swear by it!
Re: Let’s see what this Garmin is all about then. I’m sure there will be pro’s & cons compared to the tomtom
I’ve got that one and it’s been really good. Love the live traffic and lanne guidance
Re: Let’s see what this Garmin is all about then. I’m sure there will be pro’s & cons compared to the tomtom
I’ve got both and garmin is far better than the Tom Tom
Re: Let’s see what this Garmin is all about then. I’m sure there will be pro’s & cons compared to the tomtom
Absolutely swear by my garmin, it let me down once by not picking up a low bridge, but the signs said otherwise so obviously avoided it, always connects straight away to my iPhone, I use it for audio as stream a lot of music and that always works flawlessly, and the live traffic and lane guidance is fantastic
Re: Let’s see what this Garmin is all about then. I’m sure there will be pro’s & cons compared to the tomtom
Must admit, never had a TomTom, but not had a reason to consider any other than Garmin.
Re: Let’s see what this Garmin is all about then. I’m sure there will be pro’s & cons compared to the tomtom
Anyone ever used NavPal ? If yes, how is it ?

Love my garmin, best sat nav for the truck in my opinion
Re: Let’s see what this Garmin is all about then. I’m sure there will be pro’s & cons compared to the tomtom
Must admit on starting up the Garmin, I much prefer the layout on the TomTom. The Garmin is like an android phone
Re: Let’s see what this Garmin is all about then. I’m sure there will be pro’s & cons compared to the tomtom
My garmin is the worst £300 ive ever spent
Re: Let’s see what this Garmin is all about then. I’m sure there will be pro’s & cons compared to the tomtom
On tomtom sometimes live traffic is working sometime not! A bit slow. Took me on unpaved road, just mud was there.
Re: Let’s see what this Garmin is all about then. I’m sure there will be pro’s & cons compared to the tomtom
Never had one and never needed one. After 25 years my atlas will suffice.
Re: Let’s see what this Garmin is all about then. I’m sure there will be pro’s & cons compared to the tomtom
Garmin is the best i used for the last 4 years
Re: Let’s see what this Garmin is all about then. I’m sure there will be pro’s & cons compared to the tomtom

I have the Garmin 770 and find it a cracking tool
Re: Let’s see what this Garmin is all about then. I’m sure there will be pro’s & cons compared to the tomtom
I have the new one myself, not ideal for London, i needed have Google maps on the phone to support it whilst I navigated the streets! Not sure what sat nav can handle London central they all sh*t themselves once they see you on the the A1 inbound lol
Re: Let’s see what this Garmin is all about then. I’m sure there will be pro’s & cons compared to the tomtom
I use Google sat nav never let's me down,,,
Re: Let’s see what this Garmin is all about then. I’m sure there will be pro’s & cons compared to the tomtom
Get a Sat nav with built in Sim - never need to connect it to your phone and receives traffic updates on the fly -
Costs a little more but no monthly fees and no hassle of connecting to phone

I use that Garmin and it’s never let me down. Even when in Europe.
Re: Let’s see what this Garmin is all about then. I’m sure there will be pro’s & cons compared to the tomtom
How often are people changing sat navs out of curiosity? Wouldn’t it be better just to keep them updated?

It can only be better than the TomTom I’ve used..
Re: Let’s see what this Garmin is all about then. I’m sure there will be pro’s & cons compared to the tomtom
Not used the Tom Tom, but I went from a snooper to garmin, the snooper had better routing, but the garmin is much h easier to update. Couldn't get the snooper to update.

I have Garmin Dzl, it is not so complex, but never failed
Re: Let’s see what this Garmin is all about then. I’m sure there will be pro’s & cons compared to the tomtom
Definitely Garmin can't get on with Tom Tom
Re: Let’s see what this Garmin is all about then. I’m sure there will be pro’s & cons compared to the tomtom
I've bought a garmin and never let's me down

Re: Let’s see what this Garmin is all about then. I’m sure there will be pro’s & cons compared to the tomtom
I must admit, I’m struggling with the Garmin display layout and menus. Much prefer the simplicity of the TomTom display and functions.
