Hello,
I updated my one IQ routes today with the ease of use update to the Status Bar and I do not like the results.
I generally find the status bar, traffic side bar and speed camera alert harder to see due to the new 3D highlights. More significantly the font size of speed on the status bar is so much smaller I can not read it!
Has anyone else found this update made their TomTom worse rather then improving it?
I shall try and restore it to the original version as soon as I get time. I don't recommend this update

I like it. You can roll back to the previous version if you have a backup, and then in Home uncheck the application update so that it never tries to update the gps.

Why do you like the reduced size of the speed display?

Because I can still see it fine, and I got rid of the "Quick Menu" Icon on the screen( taking up space) for switching between 2D and 3D.

Granted I like the extra feature for the 2D/3D. Is your speed display reduced size too or am i doing something wrong?

It may be easier to view if you turn off the clock display. The speed display moves to the right side and vertically centers in the status segment. I do have a 4.3 in display and a 3.5 in display may be more difficult to see. The other feature I like is that it appears they turned off auto zoom in 2D mode. I don't know if this was intentional but a lot of people did not like the auto zoom in 2D.

Thanks for the reply, But i have tried that. Infact that seems to be the problem. Before the update, the Speed (or any other dispay) would resize to fill the status bar when other information is hidden. But now it stays at a very small font. Also they have removed the show 'remaining time' selection.
I hope TT can fix this because this loss of functionality has spolit the update for me.
In balance I like the update to the Lane Guidance postion.

I too have this problem since the latest update from Tomtom; very disappointed!
I have emailed Tomtom with my concerns, maybe if we all contact Tomtom they will issue a revised update; but don’t hold your breath.
