TomTom GO 1050 Australia

Faulty units – Don't buy a TomTom, These units have battery problems which are well documented and even getting a replacement unit will fail in a short time. Just do a google search.

Tomtom 1050 was terrible – We paid top dollar for this shite - never again. From Dick Smith. When the battery died after a few weeks we returned it and waited months for it to be "repaired" After months they gave us a 'new' one - it too is rubbish!

3) You have to not plug your tomtom into your computer and receive the latest map to avoid loosing speed and red light camera alerts before you call their customer service number to find out if the problem has been fixed.
