A Place for Tom Tom

I use a Garmin universal friction mount which does a great job. I’m sure TomTom do one too

 The law is also now coming under intense pressure to change use of sat/navs, as another device which can impair or interfere with a drivers attention while driving, and in parts of Europe, you can get a ticket, and a fine for having a visible device mounted in the car.

 

which countries please, not seen that mentioned before and going to be travelling through quite a few later this year. 

 

Just bought a new Garmin and discovered it won’t let you make any adjustments etc. while the car is in motion.

you can go into the settings and turn that feature off, at your risk.

Has anyone come up with a way to stand your Tom Tom Sat Nav onto the dash board without damaging the dashboard? Due to the angle of the top of the dashboard the Tom Tom slips off and I can not get the suction required to hold on in the normal way due I suspect due to the surface finish. 

After writing the above I was doing something else on the car, and it came to me to fix it to the windscreen. Brought into the car and found that the bracket with suction pad wouldn’t bend to the angle required to be able to see the screen vertically, it was pointing down at an angle.

Walking back into house for coffee I wondered if the Sat Nav would work upside down if the bracket was at correct angle. So back to the car and I got the angle correct to be able to see the screen and the Sat Nav does work upside down.

Phew old age has some compensations but, deterioration of the grey matter isn’t one of them. 

 

I got sick of tom tom getting in my way.So moved the radio and stuck in a Samsung tabA with tomtom app installed.
