Hi guys
I have had a rider 40 for a few years now all good but the other day warm and dry the screen clouded with condensation. So maybe time for a upgrade however need to know if the 550 rider has a condensation issue as will opt for the garmin instead.
Many thanks

    As for as i know TomTom improved the screen seal.

    Some older models had a condensation problem during heavy rain.
    When you have this problem contact TomTom Support for repair.

    It is also possible to get this problem when the USB or SD-card lid is not closed 100%.
    You can dry the unit by with USB or SD-card lid open in a paper towel using dry rice.

    I never had a condensation problem with mi Rider 550.

    My Rider 550 showed heavy signs of condensation, huge areas of condensed water wandering around the display thru the day. After just one single day of driving in the rain.
    Currently, I store it for a few days in a sealed plastic bag filled with rice, to see if the situation improves.
    If not, I'll return the device under warranty.
