I Need a new Tomtom

[Allyc85]

Well after many thousands of miles of near faultless service, my Tomtom One Xl died on me on Sunday, though fortunately just before I got into central London!

So I would like to upgrade to a newer model, but it must be able to take .ITN files that I have made on tyre. I have been told that you can't do this on modern units.

Cheers for any suggestions!

Anybody? All Tomtom have told me is that the only new model that supports Tyre created .itn files, is the Tomtom rider, which is designed for bikes.

So I just need to know which is the last mode to support said files.

Top advice there. My old Tomtom has been brilliant with only a couple glitches over thousand of miles, but i'm more than happy to change to Garmin, especially with the map updates and traffic.

This one seems ideal for the price.

I should have said I was going to shop around, but that's excellent, cheers!

Halfords really is a complete rip off!

I shall have a look when I get my Garmin back off a mate

Took mine to France last week and it worked well, but I prefer my old Tomtom to be honest. It invented an extra loop through a small town on a route I had made in Tyre, and I don't find it as intuitive either. Also after setting a route while in an underground car park, it really struggled to find GPS signal. Not ideal in Monaco where it is really busy and there are few places to stop!

I expect it will become better with more use though.
