Had one of these for over a week now, initially worked great but suddenly the system kept rebooting. Now the HD traffic comes up with TomTom server error unable to establish a connection. All updates have been done and rest numerous times without avail. Looks like it’s heading back to the manufacturer as faulty. During the period it was working it was great, just unlucky… who knows, time will tell.

@tonyk Sorry to hear that. I think it must be a faulty unit, as I've had a number of HD Traffic-enabled TomToms over the last six months and, whilst they've occasionally taken longer than expected to download traffic updates from the server (usually during rubbish weather), the problem has always fixed itself after a few minutes.

It seems that the price of the TomTom GO 540 LIVE has dropped so that it is almost the same as the XL LIVE.

Given that the 540 has the voice commands and bluetooth, I wonder whether it might be a better buy now.

On the other hand, the 540 doesn't seem to have the Active Lane Guidance, which I think I would find very useful.

Not sure whether I would use the LIVE service after the trial period, but I think I might and would like to keep the option.

Just wondered if anybody had any thoughts on this.

Thanks.

All right we know TomTom can make the actual Satnav unit. When will they create an updated version of TonTom Home for Mac Snow Leopard
