Will the Tom Tom Go 500 tell you if you have missed your direction and is recalculating the route.

it will recalculate the route just as all the other TomTom navigation does. but it won`t tell you you had missed a direction. once you drive pass the direction, it will start re-calculating.
1819646
It doesn't "tell" you it's recalculating. It politely and automatically recalculates and tells you your next available turn to get you back on track.
1819647
Yes, it instantly finds a new route best route keeping your heading into account.

From the experience i had it doesn't recalculate, a dashed line apears in the direction you should be going... Not thru the streets, literally the direction. Try it out before buy, i dint like the product at all. Good luck

No, it does not scold you by saying "Recalculaing!" It simply redirects you. You can tell if you missed your turn by glancing at the screen before you've strayed too far and seeing your progress off the marked route.
1819650
Yes, and it is very fast re-calculating an alternate route or taking you back to the right way.
1819651
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.

Thanks for telling me that. I haven't used the GPS much after that time. I think I need to read the manual when I have time. :)

Does it or doesn't it include updates of European maps? Can TomTom set the record straight on this?

No, but it gives choices of routes, and you can program it to avoid certain roads and road types (such as no toll roads), fastest route, shortest route. I haven't looked at the route choices yet. I have not had an issue with either of my Garmin GPS units not getting me to my destination; so I usually just let it take me, unless I decide as I'm driving to change roads, then it just re-routes based on the road I am currently on. You could also plot a via point to force it to go a certain way, which I have done with my older unit.

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

Yes. Generally traffic is accurate but not 100%. Auto rerouting is surprisingly helpful.
2216811
NO. If you select a different course than what it has directed you, it will direct you to make a correction and it will do this several times before directing you to follow the course you are on.

I have taken trails that I have never been on, turned the Tracker on and the arrow will point to the direction back to camp. It doesn't show the route you took....It is a High Tech Compass and it will count down in meters as you get closer to camp.

I find that it reroutes almost instantly. There's an odd time it may take a few seconds longer but mostly you hardly know you missed a turn!

Sorry to say but no it does not. It will, however, show your path when you play back the recorded files on top of Google maps on your PC.

If you marked your place of origin or lunch spot etc., you will be able to get back to it by use of the GPS because it will point an arrow in the direction of your selected point. If you want to see the actual route you took, not just the direction of your point, you will need to plug in the GPS to your computer and will be able to see the exact route taken via Google Maps. Hope this helps!

I did not hear the TomTom say street names, all I heard was you have reached your destination. But I did not change any settings or upgrade any features because there would be an additional fee.

No...this device basically marks your starting position (trailhead, car, etc.) and if needed, will point in the direction of your starting point.
1795256
Not really. And one annoying thing is that if you deviate from the route (because you know better or trying to get around a jam) it will keep telling your to turn around to get back to your original route.

Patricia this is designed to get you places not keep track of miles so I don't think it does what you need. You Mark a starting point and when you want to get back it points you in the right direction. It can also get you back to a point by marking the point when you arrive, saving it and when you want to go back to that point you dial it up and it points you to it.
772907
Yes. It will either have you do a U-turn or reroute you to the next street. It depends on the location.

Yes you can and yes it does. TomTom also has a Map Plan with which you can update maps, I believe, each quarter/year. Nice little unit. Perfect for the price.
