Splendid Design. Disastrous Execution.

Cons: Battery dies and losses reception when car radio is on
The 510 will not turn on while it is connected to the car charger, after about 5 days of minor usage. I am on my second car charger, which is a replacement that was supplied for free by TomTom. The 510 does recharge with the Home Dock. This indicates that, at least in the case of my 510, there is an unacceptable defect in the system. If my unit is not unique, these devices should be recalled. The stress and confusion resulting from being lost, can negatively affect driving.
My FM radio produces sufficient noise to override the satellites’ signals to the TomTom. This would NOT be a problem except that TomTom has not made the external antenna for the 510 and the rest of the series available in the USA. The suction cup mount could only be made to work by the use of special silicon grease. This would have been acceptable for me, if there were available a mount to permanently fix the unit to my dashboard.
It is really a shame that the utility of the very good design of the TomTom was not followed by competent execution. Under these conditions, all I can do is forewarn potential customers. ...
