GO Camper Max 7 Inch Campervan and Caravan Sat Nav World Maps - Black C

On the whole it's very good. It doesn't give you enough time to review all the routes to determine the best one - that might be because I haven't worked out how to work out routes offline yet. Occasionally there is a minor glitch in the routing or the spelling of a town

At last a Sat Nav for Motorhome that can be heard over a loud engine. This acquisition is well worth the money I spent. I highly recommend for a motorhome or caravan, so easy to use and follow

Easy to setup, just entered my campervan dimensions. Was already useful on a trip to Norfolk by avoiding a restricted width road. Would have been a nightmare otherwise as I'm pretty sure i would have missed the road sign. Very easy to use and good quality display and speaker. Only thing I don't like is that you have to connect your smartphone via bluetooth to get live traffic and other updates. That was quite tricky to set-up and seems to fall over quite a lot. But not a massive problem and I would definitely still recommend.

We bought this on the recommendation of “Wandering Bird” a motorhome reviewer who has an excellent web site with lots of helpful information about owning and using a motorhome. So far we’re delighted with it. It takes away the crippling fear I had years ago with my first motorhome when I’d duck and cringe every time we approached a low bridge. You input your van’s height, length and width and it plots a safe route avoiding low bridges and narrow unsuitable lanes. It’s a game changer and really reduces the stress of driving a large vehicle, leaving you more relaxed to enjoy the journey.

As with all satnavs common sense and forward planning are required. Does what it is supposed to do pretty well

I bought this expensive piece of kit expecting 21st century technology. Whilst I’m sure the hardware is very good and seems to be solid and very well made, I’m afraid I was sadly disappointed (maybe having owned an iPhone for many years, the bar has been set too high?). I remember the good old days, when sat-navs first appeared on the scene. Great at navigation (most of the time), but try connecting and loading updates and software etc – frustrating to say the least. I never actually got to try this latest offering from TomTom on the road since I was unable to successfully load Caravan Club POI’s and sent it back working on the philosophy my time is more important. It should have been dead straight forward and it was not. Some annoying points: I was unable to login to the device when it is connected to a PC (ooops, try again later); The accompanying PC App, constantly takes you out to another web page where you have to login again). Loading POI’s is not in an obvious place and the software tries hard but fails at being intuitive (maybe it’s me, but I’m normally very tech savvy, so I think not); the touch screen I found jerky and a poor experience when compared with a modern phone screen. Click on the wrong link and be taken to pages of pages trying to flog you expensive subscriptions and add-ons. Sorry TomTom, I know this is not the price of an iPhone, but it only has to do a fraction of what an iPhone can do and for me, it sadly failed I’m afraid.

The unit worked for roughly five hours. On its second trip out it failed approaching Bristol City Centre. The screen went black and that was it. Customer service is a robot and whilst the videos may have helped with many problems it didn't with a black screen. Eventually you might get through to an agent in India who do their best to help but if you take more than three minutes to provide information such as photographs of the blank screen or a scanned copy of the Amazon receipt you are cut off. The only solution is back to the robot. It took me hours before they agreed to take it in for repair, not replacement. A shipping label is sent via email for the unit to be sent to Romania for repair. I have sent it but frankly don't expect to see it again. I feel that it is very unlikely that I will buy another Tom Tom product and I suspect I will have to purchase a new GPS for our touring holiday. Edit - the unit has been returned after around twenty days, the packaging was badly damaged by the courier but the screen survived. This is a replacement unit, I'm not sure if it a new one. It came with a screen protector that was grubby and distorted which I couldn't fit it without air bubbles. I have fitted loads of them in the past but this defeated me probably because it had been bent. The unit seems to work but not been used in the motor home yet. I'm still not happy as it should have been replaced with a new one when it failed. I didn't want to spend many frustrating hours trying to get the issue resolved. I don't know if other manufacturers have the same repair policy but I'm not sure I would buy another Tom Tom product and will check to see what happens under warranty, if that is possible.

Good large screen and very clear but does not justify Whig’s price
