Start 42 is practically useless

My Start42 is going in the bin. It has always taken ages to boot and is then really "Laggy". I have done all of the usual resets etc. I cant believe TomTom released a device as poor as this. Can the firmware be upgraded or something? I usually end up having to use google maps on my phone rather than rely on the damn thing.

Welcome to the site....
Does the Start 42 have 8GB or 16GB internal Memory... Which Map/s do you have installed....
Important Catch22....
On the 8GB Models, the early Maps fitted easily onto 8GB on-board Memory, but the Map sizes increases with every update... The Map size now exceeds the 8GB on-board Memory size on the NAV4 devices, this is an unfortunate, but real Catch22 situation....
The latest NAV4 Full Europe Map size is now around 9GB
