I have an old 3.5" Tomtom that has a Browse as text details page (aka... Turn by turn directions page) . Do the new 5" tomtoms have it?

I bought a TomTom XXL 540TM 5 Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator in 2011 and it did have this feature if I remember correctly. It quit working when I tried to do a map update so I can't double check for you but I remember using this feature.

After route is planned, you can click on "details" then " browse as text " and you will receive turn by turn directions. You also have 4 other options. I hope this helps you.

Is there some way to update the maps or firmware? How do we know we have the latest version? My wife's TomTom plugs into the USB port and downloads the updates automatically. I see nothing other than MIO transfer, which is not very intuitive or useful.

Sorry, haven't tried to do that, so have no answer. My first thought would be to go to the TomTom website and research their downloads. Good luck.

I did a lot of research on the GPS navigation devices available from 4.5" to 7". I tried all of them that had demos in the stores and had owners I knew let me work theirs. I found it to be a matter of personal choice as to what one likes or dislikes. Also, one can read through Amazon's and others customer reviews. I like the features of the TomTom devices. I've owned a TomTom 4.5", two 5" and now the VIA 1605 TM 6", which I would not trade for any other one. Do your research looking for the one that has the features you like and meets your needs. Keep in mind that those who own other brands are just as passionate about theirs. bob I did a lot of research on the GPS navigation devices available from 4.5" to 7".

I don't know about the TomTom, but the Garmin 255W will give you altitude information if you touch the vehicle icon on the map screen. This is also how to bookmark your location and see your longitude/latitude coordinates.

Doris, is better if you check TomTom website. They have a update listed to the countries.

Hi. The one that I got from Amazon last week only has U.S. maps loaded onto it. You can purchase and download maps for other countries from the TomTom website, though.

Does the TomTom 3rd have a Address Book where you can add the most common places you go (Favorites) and they will always be there. (Like Magellan Roadmates) If so are these stored in memory and lost if the battery goes down or turned completely off? I would use them for trips and putting in the info I want prior to leaving and then just making contact and following directions to each destination.Does Tom Tom have the ability to automatically adjust course to get me to the destination when I make a wrong turn?

Hi Sasha, TomTom has another version of the device that is called the "XL 340TM LIVE," which is available from Amazon. SamKT and I are wondering if this version has lifetime LIVE services or if it uses an RDS receiver for the "lifetime traffic" updates. After a little more searching on TomTom's website, I believe that the "lifetime traffic" is probably an RDS device since they sell that accessory in the online store. However, I e-mailed TomTom customer support and will post any reply that they send.

I am not sure what I was thinking but our tomtom actually comes with the original manual, you can see it in the photos we provided in our listing! Thanks again.

Dear Friend, thats a good question, however, TomTOM does offer limited map coverage. Follow this link to the TOMTOM map website. I hope this was helpful. http://www.tomtom.com/en_us/products/car-navigation/go-live-series/go-2535-tm-wte/index.jsp

I wasn't able to create my own route with multiple way points on this unit. My old TomTom is the XL and I downloaded the free Tyre program that works with Google Earth to create itineraries. Tyre works with TomTom and Garmin and you can create an itinerary with lots of waypoints or stops. You can also edit itineraries you already have on your TomTom. Needless to say I bought the VIA 1605 but returned it. Like you I wanted a unit I could create my own itinerary with lots of waypoints.

Hello Jazz1, To get real-time traffic information on all new TomTom GO models you do indeed use your smartphone to connect to the TomTom Traffic services. To be clear, your smartphone is NOT required for navigation purposes at all, it is only used when gathering traffic information in your area. You do not need to be connected to a smartphone to use the GPS and navigation features, it's only if you want the latest traffic information while driving. Depending on your cellular provider your coverage may vary by location. However, the GO device updates the latest traffic in your area every 2 minutes. Therefore, if you happen to be driving in an area where cellular service is going in and out, you might not even notice since your device will still have the last traffic information it received and will get the latest update once your phone connects again. The GO device will provide you a picture of the traffic within a 1 hour drive, and provide you a route around it (i.e. the fastest route) whenever there is traffic between you and your destination. The GO 500 includes a lifetime subscription to TomTom Traffic so you'll never have to worry about paying for this advanced traffic service in the future. Additionally, the new GO models all come with lifetime maps getting you 4 map updates per year for the lifetime of your device. Hope this information helps! Let us know in case of other questions.

I believe the map supplier is NavTec, not TomTom. Dunno if tey are compatible with a 2005 6 series. best way is to check on BMW accessories site for your year and model, then take the part number and search for it on amazon.com
