Hi all, I am using Tomtom but most of the time Poor GPS Reception and the maps are really outdated. The Tomtom GPS Car Kit cost a bomb and it has the feature to enhance GPS reception not sure if its effective. Overall I think still better to rely on devices like Garmin.

QUOTE(taqu @ Nov 10 2009, 02:19 PM) GPS signal requires a clear view of the sky. It's harder to get a good signal when it has less view of the sky eg under dense forest or "urban jungle". U won't get GPS signal inside a building. Thanks for the tip. How do we update the teleatlas map on Tomtom?. Will they release new patches now and then?.About map coverage, I find that Teleatlas map used in TomTom and Sygic has very good coverage in major cities. It have roads to my village in Terengganu where even Malsingmap has yet cover that road. For rural areas, it depends. It has decent coverage in my area (Bandar Enstek, Nilai), missing 2 road (N163 & partial Jalan Kuarters KLIA) and a small town (Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi). Weather u can live with that or not depends on you. If u're willing to contribute updates to Teleatlas map, u can report to their Map Insight website at http://mapinsight.teleatlas.com/mapfeedback/index.php A sample report I submitted : http://mapinsight.teleatlas.com/mapfeedbac...5b66ef7da3b8/en  BTW, which one do you find better TomTom or Sygic?. |
