    What's the benefit to using this over Google Maps / Apple version / Waze?

      You can check previous post for all the answers that you need. Link of previous deal it's on description.

        Disgusting that you are being voted down.

        The entitlement that exists on Ozbargain is terrible.

        McDeal has given a way to answer the question, but because they haven’t spoon feed you lazy clowns, you vote them down.

        Others aren’t put on this earth to serve you.

          Lol the link to the previous deal literally has the answer "You can check previous deal that's on description for more details" regarding a question on police warnings.

          If you're reposting a deal then there is a fair expectation for questions to be answered, otherwise what's the point of this comments section

                @Shunto: Expecting strangers to serve you when you have contributed nothing in return in 8 years seems toxic to me.

                Most of people up voting you are fellow members who have contributed nothing also.

                If it wasn’t for amazing people like Scrooge McDeal this site simply wouldn’t function. Yet people like you just complain because they wanted you to click a link to find out the answer to your question. 🤦

      TomTom go gives you a warning sound your speeding five k’s over the speed limit. Saved me many times.

      Last time I used Google Maps Apple maps and waze there was no warning sound.
      Can someone please let me know if they have updated the warning sound for speeding.

      • ripprind on 23/08/2023 - 18:43

        waze has had warning sound since forever. can
        be configured , on limit, 5, 10, 15 over or under.

        • kdmeir on 23/08/2023 - 19:47

          Last time, I used waze, it did give me a warning sound, but only the first time I went over the speed limit during the session, but not again during the same session. I had to close waze down and open it up again to get the once only warning sound,

          If they’ve updated it since I’ll give it a go again and test a few times during the session. If it does give me a warning sound each time Goodbye Tom Tom

          • ripprind on 23/08/2023 - 22:36

            @kdmeir: maybe some odd behaviour related to phone model/app compatibility, but with my phones it warns all the time.
            and can be set to play sounds through phone speakers or Bluetooth.
            I have it set up so music plays to car bluetooth, but warnings are played by phone.

      I've always found TomTom to have the best road data out of any app. Main reason for me is that it knows which roads are dirt. Google Maps will take you down some rickety dirt road where a bitumen one is close by, TomTom has never done that. Nice on the highways as it has markers for rest stops.
      Lately been trying in the city as well, it can automatically change your route to the quickest if you're travelling at rush hour(s).

      I compared both Waze and Google maps for the exact same trip.
      For me Waze user much more battery.
      The only upside I saw for Waze is the speed camera notificaiton. Google Maps has this but doesnt really have an updated database.

        waze also has live police traps etc - also if you use tolls, it tells you exactly how much it'll be before you decide.

        Overal superior imo

      Just offline maps that I can think of. You can download offline maps on google and soon on apple maps. It is just handy that you have all of Australia handy for when you go somewhere with no reception and don’t plan ahead or forget to download offline maps.

        While I agree that his justification for the neg is not good (he implied there's no value in this, just because there's Google Maps), I have to say I don't agree that you only have the "right" to express your opinion if you have made a post…

    Doesn't seem to work for me - or actually the people at TomTom want to screw more money from me.

    I had paid for a full licence of Go Mobile (not cheap) when it first launched on ios years ago, Tomtom then decided, like most companies have, to switch to subscription to extract more money. They gave me a free year on TomtomGo (this app) and said; say good bye to your lifetime licence.

    Now when I log in, even with a new address it recognises my Apple ID and says we remember you and states "migrated from Go Mobile" and it doesn't show the one year that it shows on the tomtom.com (uk) website.

    So think I will delete it and forget about it.

        Thanks for the suggestion, though it wasn't cookie on pc - that bit worked fine, it was when I tried to install app and login to the account with UK address and 12 month.

        Appreciate the tip, but I've killed it all now and cancelled subscription. Kinda feel a bit too cheesed off by Tomtom to try any more.

    for the iPhone user like myself,

    When opening the app for the first time when it prompts you about 7 day trial, you should see a link about seeing the available plans. Click on that link takes you to a different page where you will find the link for "Restore Purchase"

    Click on "Restore Purchase" and it will ask you for AppleID + sign-in. Simply sign-in and it will take you to another page where you can then sign in to the TomTom Go account you would've created already, and eveyrthing's fine after that.
