Théière Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 TomTom has anounced that the interface on the smaller units (start & Start2 models have a dumbed down interface) which means POI from third parties are not supported is going to be rolled out on other new units. If you are thinking of buying one take a look at this article: http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/newsletters/newsletter-latest.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyphilpott Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Yes I saw that too - I susbscribe to PocketGPSWorld and use their POI safety camera alerts. Bottom line is that when my TomTom reaches the end of its days I will replace it with a satnav which does support third party POI data. As I understand it, it is not (yet) proposed to remove the third party POI functionality from models already sold - although I guess that they could by doing an "upgrade".I have used the TomTom version of safety cameras before switching to PGPSW and it is not so comprehensive. Just a case of a big business crushing the small players to generate more income I imagine.Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngh Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Perhaps this is where people power comes in . How about starting a boycott ?I for one will be there first. Never been Tom Toms best point, that is costumer satisfaction. Profit first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
