GO 6200 is even better than GO 6000. Wifi works very well. TomTom Mydrive is superb!
I had been using a GO 6000 for several years, updating via USB cable. Updating via computer introduced an unnecessary additional bottleneck. With the GO 6200, updating via Wifi works so well.There are two ways of entering the address you are searching for: simple (which works exactly the same as the 6000 and just as fast) or advanced. I use simple. You can easily specify whether to search locations only near your current location, near your destination, along the route, in a particular city, or anywhere in the whole map.But the feature I like most so far (after only 1 day) is searching for My Places in the MyDrive app (on Smartphone or on Computer) and saving them to the cloud after which they automatically sync seamlessly to the SatNav. So clever. Another feature I have toyed with and will certainly be using, is the ability to find whole routes (e.g. Scottish Highlands or Garden Route in SA or Italian coastal routes etc.) and save those to MyDrive before importing them into your SatNav. Makes planning a car trip so much more pleasurable!I have also located list of Points of Interest (POIs) which I have imported into the SatNav. In my case I imported all of the National Trust properties and I display these on the map with little yellow symbols which can be switched on or off. (Requires you to switch the SatNav off and on again to display the changed map.) I will probably also be loading motorway service stations and recommended pubs.Finally, I have also paired my smartphone to my SatNav using BlueTooth which enables either to place or answer a phone call in a hands free manner.I have tried using voice control, and it works from day 1, but probably not so well if you have background noise e.g. the radio! It should also be possible to set up MyDrive to send the wife a text when you leave the office letting her know the time you expect to be home ... but I haven't toyed with that yet. I only gave it 3 stars simply because I am comparing it to Alexa which is really clever and understanding what I am trying to say ... but then Alexa sends your commands back to a central server while "Lady Jane" processes everything locally. I expect the way we intercat will improve.Touch screen works so well and traffic updates ensure you are not stuck in traffic without being aware of all your options. This is a brilliant piece of kit. Even better than the GO 6000 if that was even possible. And I use a Brodit ProClip (available in many different styles for different models of car) to fix this to the dashboard in a secure, convenient manner.I simply love the TomTom GO 6200 (this review is completely unsolicited and I have no connection with TomTom at all)!

Best TomTom yet - outstanding
This is my fourth TomTom - I have stuck with the brand right from the very first model. I can honestly say this is the stand-out best TomTom I have owned.For existing TomTom users you will notice a different look and feel to the menus and main driving screen but don't be put off - once you get used to it you will soon appreciate the extra information and crisp screen. There are so many things to like about this latest incarnation but I will highlight a few of my favorites:- Incredibly quick start-up time. If the battery still has some charge then it powers up almost instantly and is usable (i.e. you can start searching for location etc.) within seconds.- Real-time travel alerts - although this is available in earlier devices it has been implemented so well here. You can see graphically on the map all the various traffic flow issues, colour-coded, on your route ahead. This is as up-to-date as the data used on Google Maps (I have checked!) and this is the first time with a TomTom that I have actually *trusted* the device when it tells me there are delays ahead and it offers me a quicker route.- Sidebar lookahead - this part of the screen shows you key events in the next 30 miles of your trip (petrol stations, speed cameras etc.) including where any delays are an how long that delay will last. It also shows you where there is an opportunity to take a faster route and how many minutes this will save compared to following the existing route. The layout makes all this information easily to digest at-a-glance.- WiFi connectivity - updating maps over WiFi is just so simple compared to the PC-based 'user experience' of old - and you are regularly prompted when updates are available. Before it always felt like updating maps was a gamble because of the potential for it to fail and cause hours of rebooting and rebuilding your TomTom, but those days are gone.- Magnetic mount - not sure if this is new for this generation or available on older models, but it was new for me and works brilliantly - so easy to mount and detach.The only issue I had was immediately after purchase - the first few times I attempted to update maps over WiFi my connection kept dropping, despite my (BT Hub) WiFi working fine. After third attempt however it worked and has been working flawlessly ever since.I can't recommend this TomTom enough - really happy I spent the extra money for the top-of-the-range model - this is the TomTom you always wanted.

Carenza sui numeri civici
Utilizzo da sempre navigatori TomTom, premesso che come rappresentante mi muovo tantissimo sia in Italia che in Europa, ancora oggi mancano molti numeri civici sulle mappe, comunque risulta essere ancora un sistema di navigazione di tutto rispetto
