TomTom AmiGO GPS Maps, Traffic 4+

Almost perfect

Hi, For those who don’t already know about it, and who need to travel the a9 and beyond, I downloaded this free app for our trip to Sussex as it warns of speed cameras and keeps a note of your average speed. It also tells you when the measuring areas start and finish and how long they are. It really helped us coming back yesterday as we came to a grinding halt on the m6 due to a traffic jam. All of sudden the female voice that had been silent for the previous several hours said, “turn off at the next junction in 300yards”. I managed to work my way across from the fast lane to the slip road and we were directed on a detour via the m62 rejoining the m6 about 12 miles further north. It saved us hours of delay and didn’t even affect our eta. I don’t know how it knew about the jam but I’m glad that it did! So, TomTom amigo. It’s well worth having on your phone, makes travelling the nation’s average speed camera network almost bearable! The one improvement I’d like to see is the average speed in large digits so I don’t have to strain my eyes to read it! Oh, also there’s no sound on my iPhone se, though there is on my iPad so I have to use both!

Fantastic and free - perfect

So far I’m loving this app only used a couple of times but it’s got me to my destination almost.
The only quirky bit I have found is the map accuracy, the gps arrow is spot on my location so if I’m sat on my driveway the blue arrow is on my driveway, now here’s the kicker when I typed in my address and set the home location it shows a home marker and says it’s 40yds away from where I am. It gets better, if I touch and hold on the map to place a drop pin once it tells me my address it’s only 30yds away. My house number is 42, the home pin shows outside 48, the favourite pin shows outside 44 and if I place a pin outside my house apparently I live at 36. Hope this makes sense because it confused the hell out of me, but it’s still a great app thank you

UPDATED… Good navigation and camera app except…

I was searching for a navigation and camera warning app because Google Maps just doesn’t seem to give voice warnings of cameras. Radarbot and Waze are okay but (despite specifically saying otherwise in its promotional material) both provide needless warnings cameras on the other side of the road. Whilst AmiGO is better than Radarbot and Waze in that warnings of cameras are given even when route navigation is inactive it, like Radarbot and Waze, still provides superfluous warnings of cameras facing the other way on the opposite side of the road. The only app that seems to reliably ONLY provide relevant warnings of cameras is Cyclops but, unfortunately, this is not integrated with Apple CarPlay. The other issue with AmiGO is that (on CarPlay) I don’t seem to be able to zoom the map out whilst navigation is active. This map is too “zoomed in” so you can’t see your whole route and the map seems to move too fast on the infotainment screen when driving on motorways (because it’s zoomed in and the map “scale”…)
