Hello
I have a Tom Tom Go 6000 with Live traffic and 6" screen. its a great little unit apart from the fact that I cant have more than 90 addresses saved in the unit as My PLaces.
I have just over 200 Accounts to look after that I need to see around 4 times a year.
Are any other devices capable of handling 200 addresses.
Tom Tom are useless to deal with, I dont understand why they cant give you more space. If you add memory it makes no difference. It very annoying and very poor.

The rule of thumb with TomToms is to only buy one if you are 100% certain that they can do what you want them to do straight out of the box.

Do not believe any of TomTom's promises of features being added at a later date through a software update - it just won't happen.

I might be a bit late to the party but why can't you simply add them as a POI? If you are restricted to the number of points in a POI group, then make groups based on North, South East West etc. or any other arbitrary grouping.

I also have about 200 accounts, and I group mine in separate newly created POI categories, much like the geographic suggestion above.

I run tom tom Europe on my iPhone 5, I have added the address to all of my contacts, this in turn allows me to have as many address stored as I wish, you can access the iPhone's address book via the tomtom app.

Have been all over the UK and Europe with it and cannot fault it.
It will also use the geotag from your pictures allowing you to navigate back to the place where the picture was taken, great if you don't want to have the actual address saved on your phone
