Tom Tom go and Heated Windscreens.

Lee_D · Feb 27, 2005

Toying with getting a tom tom go for my next major adventure. Any one using
one with a heated windscreen in a Disco or Rangie? If so does it work ok ?
Only ask as my current GPS mouse is a little fussy if it's raining or if
were in the footpath of tree lined routes. The Sunroof in the disco solved
the problem but I'll get neck ache looking at a tom tom go up there for 300
miles at a time.

Slightly to my surprise, my Tom Tom Go seems to have no problem with the
heated screen in my 1999 P38a Range Rover. On a trip to Italy and back
earlier this year it lost signal on only half a dozen occasions, and
briefly.

Unusually they work fine behind LR heated screens, On or Off.

My Navman 510 works well behind the heated screen of my Defender XS.
Smaller to put in your pocket than a Tom Tom Go, ehen you leave the vehicle,
too.

Using a GPS in any Land Rover requires an external antenna, to get the
best performance from the GPS.

I've got a Tom Tom Go and it works fine in my Sierra with a heated front
screen and some times it even works indoors upstairs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best bit of kit I have bought for some time
