New Promotional TomTom Advertising
It is great. tomTom are advertising a few units at 25% off. promoting the GO6200 Units. They are promoting others. Seems they want to sell 6" when 5" is fine. Not promoted 5", just 6" units. looking at eBay for same units, it is NO deal... but they may be newer models... At least they will work with 64GB card........may but unlikely with bigger one
Mobile version is fine, but they want subscriptions........somewhat stops me being here as I get for free ish
For the cost of these units... I will not pay. I like what I have. It is faster and works better than my first GO5200. not seen better with newer items. I have sun visor on mine, as sometimes had to see with some travel, and is a bit easier. At night, no screen reflection and in summer, easier to see. They are cheap for 5" and 6" TomTom units. work finethe Maverick Reviewed by the Maverick on .

One day, someone might make things work perfectly before release. Sadly not in my or your lifetime. At least by finding problems and sorting them, we are still alive.

There are many accessories available for TomTom Units available on eBay. I did not mention Amazon, as mostly seems to be so much more expensive when buying, and most here prefer cheap LMFAO
Although here I am only listing those for a particular model, you can search the name of your unit to get the correct one for your unit
Car Dashboard Beanbag Holder Mount For 5 Inch Sat Nav GPS Are others, but I have this so it is not an advertisement
SunShade Visor For TomTom Are others, but I have this so it is not an advertisement
TomTom screen protector I do not have one of there, so is not an advertisement
Personally, I use the Sun Shade, which is great for both strong sunlight and night driving. Not needed so much is normal summer and cloudy. I use the 5" mount on my 5" Go5200, although I am sure the 6" version would also be fine for it, although not tried.
The bean beanbag mount works well too when the dash is quite flat in the centre, but not if very curved, so depends on the model and vehicle being driven. When in use, works well. Good if making hands free calls too, although I prefer via in car for that, and Google Assistant is better for that, though TomTom contacts is handy for recent calls, when parked up. Poor when moving.
Never used a screen protector, but if it stops glare on windscreen, it should be great, certainly worth a punt!Last edited by the Maverick; 10th January 2021 at 02:34 PM.

I have 2 TomTom GO5200 units. One is from the very start of the model, and the other second hand from several years later. Both run the same hardware version upgrade and both have identical SDXC 64GB cards with the same maps, and version 20.100.0001.411 (0)(13/10/2020)
When installing the latest maps, the newer one finished whilst the older one was 79% still upgrading.
When driving where I knew where traffic jams were (on purpose). Both fast, but the newer one, was faster to reroute. Same outcome though. Hard to measure time, but a sew seconds
No difference about speed cams, map updates, although the newer unit is faster. Not by muchOne day, someone might make things work perfectly before release. Sadly not in my or your lifetime. At least by finding problems and sorting them, we are still alive.

Cheers
I don't know if it can be a solution to the suction cup for the car windshield; But I've been using this mount for a few months now to avoid possible heat damage to the suction cup. Also say that where I'm from the temperatures are NOT high -->

I am using a beanbag mount for many years and I am very content with it.
Worked well with a Go 300, Go 950 Live, Go 5200.
I even took the beanbag and the Go 950 Live with me for a 6 week camper trip in New Zealand in 2016.
Worked excellent.
