(Snip) I am being slightly put off by some negative reviews I have read of the Premium X, such as, .....'freezes up and less responsive, voice control abysmal, fails to find address in database, extremely slow start up time'.
It's quite a big outlay so I would welcome the thoughts of other Premium X owners please.

For Me....
(1)... Freezes up and less responsive --> My GO Premium rarely freezes and when in use its far MORE responsive than my GO 5000
(2)... Voice control abysmal --> Don't know never use Voice Control
(3)... Fails to find address in database --> The excellent Quick Search (Default Search Engine) is the same as your GO 600
Its only the optional Step by Step Search Engine is abysmal for UK Postcodes

(4)... Extremely slow start up time --> How strange ???
My GO Premium Start-up from Sleep or Turned off Mode is fine....
GO Premium start-up from Sleep Mode and Ready for use....
3.35 seconds (Stopwatch)
GO Premium start-up from Turned off Mode and Ready for use....
48.53 Seconds (Stopwatch)

Hi

The GO Premium Quick Search (Default & the best) Search engine is the same as your GO 600 and is fine for Post codes

Its only the optional Step by Step Search engine that's problematic with postcodes

To see the Step by Step Search engine on your GO 600....
Tap 4Dot (.... Menu) --> Setting --> System --> Choose a Search Mode ???

The 6yr old android smart phone may work as a basic Hands free Phone over the simple bluetooth connection option ??? but would I be surprised if it works for reading out text messages and route planning using the Phone and the MyDrive App ???

Hi

If its only the increase in performance and usability then the the GO 5200 & GO 6200 have the same CPU as the GO Premium....

Unless you intend to use the Smart Home IFTTT Integration and the other extra GO Premium features the GO 5200 & 6200 use the same hardware....

Hi
@marchend
'NO' the GO 600 is an earlier NAV4 Device with 8GB of onboard Memory Like my GO 5000....

The GO 5200 and GO 6200 with 16GB of onboard Memory are NAV5 (Wi-Fi) devices with a 2X times faster Processors and a built in GPRS SIM for Live Traffic like the GO Premium....
