Buy new Tom Tom, keep old, or change brands?
Don't care about maps. Don't care about new software. I do care that the new mandatory app update (which can't be avoided by getting off internet - the app says nothing will function unless it has an internet connection) crippled the one thing I liked - being able to use my computer and keyboard to edit waypoints, favorites and itineraries.
TomTom suggests I can get a "discount" on the GO 520. Amazon reviews (verified) give it a so-so rating.
So, I have 4 choices.
1 - keep it and suffer through manually adding stuff on the keyboard
2 - upgrade to a new Tom Tom that may well be inferior to the XL
3 - switch vendors and get a different brand GPS
4 - googlemaps/waze on my iPhone
Thoughts??
