Hi All,
You may have already been aware of this app and today we're releasing this app update to a small number of users. During the update, GO Mobile subscriptions will remain valid, but if you are not logged in to your MyDrive account, you will need to restore purchases to retrieve your subscription.
Key Features:
MAPS A LA CARTE
Customize your map by only downloading what you need with country- or regional-level maps. Select and download just what you need with worldwide maps available for download but in downloadable country or sub-regions of ~300-500mb which lets you create your own custom map.
WEEKLY UPDATES
Quick map updates without having to download the entire map again. These small updates (couple MB's) only replace what is new & delete the data, without needing to completely re-download the map.
MOVING LANE GUIDANCE
Avoid missing turns and last-second merges by zooming in on your lane and seeing all the action up ahead. Allows you to see the road ahead past the exit or junction, again helping to orientate and guide especially when multiple exits occur after another.
Any questions? Please let us know!
Mod edit: The latest updated version is 2.0.3 which is available to only 5% of the users.
Cheers, lampard

Will this small group of users get this update automatically?
Welcome to the Community! It is indeed a phased rollout (2% of the userbase) of the TomTom GO Navigation app for Android. I'll post back here once I've more updates.

We are sorry we do not currently offer syncing of routes. This is due to incompatibility with the new versions of our maps. We are working on restoring these services as soon as possible.

Does the new version has voice commands like Siri or Google assistants and when it will be released to everyone.
Thanks
Is this the NDS version and have you any idea when it will roll out in in the UK?
Are third party POIs no longer supported now?
Had I known this, I would not have updated today. I am setting out on a really big roadtrip across Europe on Monday and had been planning it out in MyDrive and syncing it to My Routes in Android. Guess that's tossed out.
If I could roll back, I would definitely do so at this point until the app is more than half baked and released to the public as such.
Hopefully you will sort this out quite soon, as your very good web based route planner on PC is the main reason I am willing to pay for this product, and I don't think I am alone. Just navigating to a point, I could use Google Maps.
Why? Tell us a bit more
Same issue here, they have just ruined this app with the update, they should have warned everyone that their POIs will be lost, wasted a good couple of hours tonight as my POI was almost impossible to find. My own fault for putting all my eggs in Tomtoms basket! Not after tonight I must add,
Tomtom have just lost 20 user accounts

BTW the new Navigation app had been receiving weekly map updates but I have seen nothing new since 1 December. Does anyone know anything about that?
With a delay added to the app that will stop working when the next beta version is ready.
That way it will stop user's only having the beta version and force
them to test and report back.
It would save a lot on RD for TomTom.
Then after that release it to the public when it is really ready.
I think I am going to try uninstalling it and then reinstalling from the PlayStore. The only 2.0.1 version I see is for the phone.
Tried to uninstall it but PlayStore re-installs it.
Been using TT since early in this century on an iPaq. Owned several stand-alones. I guess I'll have to use Google which this seems to copy. Awful, awful update.
Uninstall deleted all my data.
