Tomtom Advanced Lane Guidance

Featured Replies

Interested to hear from any TomTom users with the Thai map to see if the TomTom Thai map includes this feature and if so how many junctions does it cover. I'm considering buying a Thai Garmin unit with Junction view but I would prefer a TomTom. I understand that the Garmin Junction view covers about 1300 junctions on the Thai map.

tomtom thailand for iphone has this option, so i would assume the proper one would?

Given the fact that Garmin and Tom Tom were fighting over the same card maker that they wanted to purchase I assume it is more or less the same. I am not too happy with Garmin. They are very very slow in updating the maps. Moreover the English spelling makes more often no sense than sense. Even hotel names are spelled wrong. So it becomes very difficult to find something if you do not enter the info in Thai.

On the other hand their sales service is fine. Do not buy an all included Garmin though from the likes of Toyota. Garmin only sells you the maps when they get permission from Toyota. The Toyota maps are on average 1 to 2 years older and up to 4 times more expensive than if you make a direct purchase. Toyota claims to have security as number one, but in the meantime they send you off to a one way road that has been on other maps for years.

The Garmin South East Asia map and the ESRI Thailand map are not the same. The ESRI map is the better of the two. I have no idea which map Tom Tom uses.

I was told by a Garmin seller that the lane assistance only works in Bangkok. No junction views on any junctions outside of Bangkok.

If thats true and you live outside of Bkk probably not worth purchasing.

i have no idea. looking at the settings the advanced lane guidance is actually greyed out but on by default. i have only used the application a couple of times and never actually seen this feature appear which may be due to me preciously using it in 2D mode. when i get a minute i will see if i can find out for you. there is nothing about how many junctions in the application itself but there is a tomtom news section, i will see if i can find any info there

I have version 'Thailand v8.45' on my TomTom GO750Live. Lane guidance works well from what I have used in Bangkok.
