I've seen in 2 reviews in the UK site that it doesn't show the distance left to reach the destination. is that really true?

No, it's not true. First set the unit to go to a destination. Then the lower left dashboard field will show 'Arrive In x miles' . If it doesn't tap the dashboard field and select 'Distance' from the options. Also if you tap the blue Instruction Bar at the top of the screen (after setting a go to) the Total time and ETA are shown.

I believe that if you touch the displayed name of the next destination at the top of the screen, the entire route remaining will show up on the screen that opens. The first item listed is the remaining distance and time to it. If I'm right, touch each item along the route to get a look at the configuration of that intersection. The remaining route may display on several succeeding screens, depending on the length of the route. I have the Garmin 2455LMT.

Garmin does not show you what distance is left to your destination. Above the current road map is a name of an upcoming road you will turn on, if you touch this portion of the screen, it will show you the turn by turns to your destination. From this you see about how far you still have to go. Then switch back to map and keep following directions. I hope this helps you out? Also in the lower left of map screen, it shows you the destination time. That will give you a sense of how close you are also.

My GPS shows the distance to the next turn and the time of arrival at the destination.

It doesn't have a data screen like the earlier models---the "where am I" screen which gave all sorts of information about altitude and even latitude & longitude. This model has none of that, however when you program in the address of your destination, it does show the distance and time of arrival. If it's a long trip and stops are made for lunch, gas, etc. it will recalculate the time of arrival. The one nice feature of this model is that it no longer says the irritating "recalculating," instead it merely tells you what you need to do to correct a wrong tunn and then when you're back on track, it tells you to "continue on route."

I'm not sureof the answer but I for sure want to test it to be sure of distance. I tested it. It seemed to work ok. There is a date on it when u get it.

Yes it display the miles left to go plus it will give you the ETA to the destination.

Yes it ghas everything. In the navigation part you have to change the state when putting in your destination. From there as you putting your destination address it should show everything. But keep in mind some roads may have two or more meaning old and new name. So as a reference cross check the name through google maps to make sure everything is correct before puttung it in your gps.

Maps are available from TomTom site. I found and started download of UK/IE maps for a trip. Alas, I found them too close to departure time and didn't get them fully downloaded to install them before my trip. Map files are quite large! They're also a little pricey, I seem to remember it was about USD$70 to download the set. I can't vouch for whether downloaded maps work well. Europe destinations seem to be fairly well covered for TomTom maps. I wanted to download a map for Singapore too, but one is not available. See the TomTom site for places that are available.

According to the map, I'm nearly 50 miles from towers in NYC...no way that is correct, it's only 35-40 miles if I drove there....however, it can't be more than 20 miles as a straight path. So I'm not sure how accurate their maps are. However, I do get several channels, I just can't get them all at once, and there are a few I can never seem to get. But this one worked much better than another less expensive one I had tried.

I don't know as the Tom Tom is the only GPS I have owned. However, we made it through 17 days in Ireland with it. Occasionally, it would make a mistake and show us as being off-road when we were on a highway but nothing big. It helps to have some idea of where you are going and what roads you'll be taking.

I beleive there is a delay and it will only alert if there's motion from my experience. I'm not using it right now because of too much traffic so I can't be too specific. So intentionally no.

I just ordered straight from Garmin and was told that this unit specifically has Europe and North America Pre-loaded, but to get lifetime traffic you have to pay separately. Sounds like the people who have purchased and received it do not have both Europe and N.A. pre-loaded?

I'm sorry I can not answer your question because this item did not reach the final destination address

Hi Mr. C, A few different things can change the time frame for how long it takes to ship to the UK. For example, where it is fulfilled from and when the purchase occurs have a major effect. I looked up the specifics from Amazon's support section and here is the information they post. Destination Country: United Kingdom Standard Shipping (business days) 18 to 26 Expedited Shipping (business days) 8 to 14 Priority Shipping (business days) 2 to 3 Thanks for the question and I hope that answers it completely. Best Regards, G7 Power

Nope. And good luck getting updates. Mine would miss several 20 minute waypoints in a row. I was in a helicopter with this on my lower leg in a pocket against the plexiglass. Can't get much close to an in obstructed view of the sky than that. And the charge more do the service than the unit itself costs. I am still,paying on the 1 year subscriton in spite or returning the unit.

I've had the Loop since Christmas.... it does not track distances. I use the Strava App to track my distance

Not very. I took it on my running route and while it always gave the same distance, it was about 10-15% short every time. The route wasn't tree covered or among large buildings either. I guess if you know the error margin you can still work with it, and it might still be worth the price.

My unit tends to run roughly 10 minutes long per hour of travel...it can not account for my 7-10+ miles per hour over the speed limit and may be adding some traffic variable that I never really see. The close I get to my destination it seem to get in line with a more realistic ETA.

It won't say it's recalculating. It will simply calmly give you new directions to bring you back on route. If you have strayed too far, it will start giving directions for a somewhat different route to the same destination.
