Review: I have had a TT300 for 3 years and recently bought a Medion Go-Pal, which is excellent, but regretted buying it because of the small screen.
So, I went back to TT and bought the 730T with the european maps, simply because it wasn't much dearer than the 530T on Amazon.
I knew that I wasn't going to be disappointed with the performance of the unit because of my previous experience, but I was surprised that a major road that had the "no right turn" restriction lifted over two years ago, had not been corrected. I strongly believe that the TT maps are not entirely updated.
As for the POI's, it may as well not be included with the TT. For instance, when you look for shops, all it shows is Partco's!
I have not had the TT730 for very long, and only used it on the motorway once, when I was impressed with the lane guiadance. I was also impressed with the IQ routes which took me on a route from Cheshunt, north of the M25 to Catford in South East London in very good time on a route that I would have not considered. I am also pleased with the MapShare ability and the ability to alter the maps and add traffic cameras and POI's.
All in all I do not regret buying the TT730 and beleive that it will give me good service just as the 300 has done. But I am really disapointed about the lack of useful POI's, unless I was willing to accept that my nearest law court was either the Old Bailey or a french court in Calais. It also tells me that my nearest casino is Casino le touquet's in France and that my nearest cinema is 6.3 miles away, when the nearest complex is only ? mile away! On top of that, I cannot download my own POI's because it will not allow me because of lack of space although I have fitted a 2gb SD card! |
