TomTom & North America,,,

Sat Jul 24, 2010 6:28 pm

Hi guys, i've been on a trip from MONTREAL to TORONTO this past week....

Although my GO630 did its job, meaning i could get from point A to point B,

it had smal problems finding accurately some POI's, especially FUEL stations,

and at some point, it was off completely when driving me to my HOTEL!!



so anyways, my question is, since im in North America, would GARMiN be a better choice for me?


thx

What map are you using ? and were your fuel prices up-to-date ?

im on latest Map North America 2GB 850.2781,,,

and its not only FUEL, i had problems with finding Restaurants near me also....

it would show me a list of restaurants but,

when i decide to drive to them,

it would never accurately drive me there.....



Have a look a this Video here --> [Please Register or Login to download file]

it shows exactly what problem i had with my tomtom!!!

you'll see in the video, a 2 decade existing road not showing in his tomtom but found by his Garmin!

dont get me wrong here, i love my GO630,

but Im really thinking that maybe Navteq MAPs are better for North America,,,,



What do you guys think?

Canada is not included in the US Fuel Prices.

I think you need to talk to the Garmin team.
