TomTom AmiGO GPS Maps, Traffic

This App claim to use GPS but if data is switched off it does not use the device GPS to navigate. GPS is always available when network is not.

It does not recognise speed changes in variable speed limit areas

Updated: tried switching to the male voice. Still a bit of distortion but not as bad as when using the female voice. Directions can be a bit hit and miss, especially roundabouts. For example, take the 2nd exit when the route and map correctly state take the 3rd exit. Using CarPlay each time there are verbal instructions the audio is broken and crackly. Only at the beginning of the sentence. The remaining instructions are fine. Have tried several other navigation apps and they are all fine. So it’s just this app and not my cars speakers.

Great app that works a treat but a couple of niggles. Why have average speed zones that have incorrect speed (50mph but app still states 70mph)? Great if we could report inaccuracy in app! The notification of cameras is “hiding” behind my menu system and so partly hidden. Could we not have a setting where we can select where we need the warning to be? Also, it doesn’t seem as smooth start up in Apple CarPlay. It opens up with the map being the last place I was in and doesn’t move until I swipe it away in the phone and then start again. This is irritating enough to make me know want to bin it.

Very glitchy when used on CarPlay.. with no route planned it works fine until you stop and ignition off.. then when you resume driving the map is frozen. Such a shame because it’s good when it’s navigating a route. I find it unusable because of this issue.

I’ve been a paid member of the Tomtom app for years. And only just seen this. It actually seems to have some better features than the paid app. Obvs the one negative is you can’t download maps but is it worth spending 29 a year just for that? This app seems clean and uncluttered so I will be trying it out and maybe cancelling my subscription on the paid app.

On waze throughout your journey you can be able to look for alternate routes and it will calculate it. However, this app doesn’t do this or has this feature. For the next update, would you mind adding an alternate route button which will be more useful. Thanks

Unable to use on car play as it crashes every time it’s started up

So over the last 30yrs I’ve used TomTom. 1st using standalone devices, then swapped to TomTom Go on my mobile & it’s great if a little dated re visuals. But then along comes AmiGo - looks much more modern & initially an improvement. BUT then you go out on the road….lots & I mean lots of missing speed cameras & it’s just not there. A bit of a ‘wanna be’ pretender rather than a true contender. Hopefully TomTom will explain why it’s appeared & what its plan is???

Lovely app with great features but my journey home regularly involves stationary traffic going in the opposite direction. Tom Tom offers me a ridiculous detour to avoid it which is unnecessary. Concerned I would follow it if I didn’t know the area.
