Anyone with the new TomTom BT GPS?

[PEN]

Hey,

Can someone who had the MKI TomTom BT GPS receiver and who has upgraded to the new one please tell me whether the new one is a lot, lo better and worth upgrading to? Or whether it's not really worth it....

TIA

HI Pen,

I have to admit I think the new MK2 Tom Tom BT receiver is a lot better then MK1

I was happy with MK1 but did find it took a good few minutes to lock on to a signal and get a fix the new one is a lot quicker and is normally ready to go before I have even started the car !

I have also noticed that it manages to keep a lock when you go through hilly areas or under heavy tree cover.

I have done a lot of travelling around wales in the last few years and the MK1 did lose lock a number of times on each trip and I would have to wait a good few minutes before the lock was again achieved. with the MK2 its only lost a lock once and then for only 10-15 seconds.

the MK2 also seems to have a longer battery life as its lasted 3 or 4 days of driving before the warning light came on where as the MK1 would only last 1 or 2 days at most.

great thanks for the reply.

I guess I'll just upgrade my gps then rather than the whole kaboodle...
