About this deal

We have many years experience and our on site engineers can repair just about any TomTom on the market.

We repair your tomtom within 5 days after it arrives to us and in many cases we will repair it the same day it arrives and post it back to you the same day too! Make sure you don’t disconnect your navigation device from the computer until both the device and MyDrive Connect says that the update has been completed. The screen is decent enough, even in bright sunlight - at 480 x 272 pixels - and even though it’s resistive (ugh), we had no issues at all with delay or fumbling when jumping through menus. It may be necessary to configure your firewall and router to allow MyDrive Connect full access to the internet.Open the software, log in to your TomTom account, and follow the on-screen prompts to update the maps on your device. When you scroll down to My Maps , you see the maps that are installed on as well as available for your device.

There are live traffic notifications for a start, while the MyDrive app lets you plan routes in advance via the desktop interface and send these to the Via 53. For example, over at Currys PC World you can filter products by brand, so you could filter just to show the brands on your list. Connecting to the MyDrive app is nice and straightforward, with the live traffic information coming in really handy on a couple of trips we took. In summary, the TomTom VIA 52 is an automotive navigation device that supports multiple languages and features Traffic Message Channel (TMC) support for real-time traffic information. If you like the idea of a connected sat nav but don't want to break the bank on a premium model with built-in data connection, the Via 53 could be for you.There is also a TomTom Via 62 option which is unsurprisingly 6 inches in size and offers exactly the same functionality. Although details about its specific functions and technical specifications are not provided, it is designed to provide reliable and durable navigation assistance to drivers. Garmin's DriveSmart 51 LMT-D sports a 5-inch display and comes with a full set of European maps that can be updated via Wi-Fi. He has also worked on numerous commercial projects, including working with manufacturers like Nikon and Fujifilm on bespoke printed and online camera guides, as well as writing technique blogs and copy for the John Lewis Technology guide. Then we thought that we should be looking at TomTom Sat Nav rather than just looking at Sat Nav or just looking at TomTom products.

You can give the location a custom name and it will be saved in your Favorites for easy access in the future. The table consists of the serial number prefix and the model number to help you identify your device. Although sometimes there may be more damage than expected, or the tomtom may be damaged beyond repair. Firewalls and security software can interfere with the update, so make sure that there are exceptions set for MyDrive Connect in these. The mapping is certainly one of the Via 53's strong points – it's polished and finds places reliably, while there are a number of route-planning options available; we opted for the quickest option most of the time, but if you're constantly looking at your average mpg reading there's a handy Eco mode (although in most cases this seemed to also select the quickest option).You shouldn't have to worry about the Via 53 eating into your smartphone's data allowance each month either, as TomTom reckons you should only use up around 7MB of data a month if you use it every day for an hour.

It’s reversible so if you are one of those that don’t want to stick something to their window screen, you can flip reverse and it will mount to a dash. Your serial number can be found on a barcode sticker outside of your device, and this video shows different locations depending on your device model.If you are looking for something that’s more slender and, well, looks like your phone, you will be disappointed.
