TomTom NDS 1.3.4

**asprin624** · 18th August 2019, 07:08 AM

This problem has also been reported with TomTomGo on the TomTom forum.

So it is not a device problem.

I have tested it on 2 other phone with Bluetooth and a smartwatch and it does the same thing.

It is two easy to always say it is the phone or table that is the problem.

TomTom is very good at saying that.

More than likely there is a bug in both apps from TomTom that cause this problem.

But like I said no big deal I just use another phone without Bluetooth running with the app and all works with no problems at all.

PS:
This is also 2 Bluetooth pairings going on here.

First Phone and watch
Then Phone to hands free.

Incoming calls and messages work with no problems.
Can talk to a person with hands free.

Only no voice with TomTomNDS or TomTomGo both have the same problems.

I quote what TOMTOM has said about this problem:

"TomTom International BV30 July 2019
Hi Alan The app streams audio instructions via BlueTooth using the A2DP audio profile. There is also HSP (Handset) and HFP (Handsfree) which the app does not use. It may be that this is using the same channel as the radio. We have fed back your comments to our development team, thank you for your review - TomTom Team"

Audio turns off even with Bluetooth turned off.

@francoal,

It could be this.

I have done this on a couple of times both with TOMTOMNDS and TOMTOMGO.

They have the speaker on and off in the wrong place.

I have reported this to TomTom that they need to move it into the menu.

Spoiler: Under the Setup button

Spoiler: very easy to shut off volume without knowing it

The last version to give you info in map updates was v1.0.6.

If user's would just take the time to read older posts you can answer the question yourself.

After v1.0.6 no update info is given.

You have to delete the old maps and then download the new ones.

I clearly misunderstood or incorrectly recalled previous threads/posts, very sorry.

Are notifications for the availability of mapping updates going to be brought back? Very odd if they're not.

One should expect so, but TomTom isn't very active when it comes to updating or improving its apps.

Regular Go mobile app is almost 1'year old. No updates since. The fact that you can not use HFP is very well known by TomTom for years (!!!!), but no solving that problem

Of course
Just a few days ago the update for standalone devices came out. For mobile, it will be in a couple of weeks.

TomTom nds is better than TomTom go as you don't have to do much after installing it to get for example traffic info. The only thing I liked more on TomTom go was next turn display as it was smaller than the kind nds has got. Apart from that nds is way better.

Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion but I don't follow this reasoning.
Traffic info works the same in both GO and NDS. Install the app, make sure you have internet access and you're all set. I don't really see how NDS does this better then GO.

Personally I like the lane guidance in GO more then the "modern" iteration in NDS. Other then that both versions get me where I need to be.

**dennismoore** · 9th October 2019, 09:05 AM

Route calculating alghoritm in nds is different. That's the difference and in my opinion nds does it better.

But on lane guidance I agree: Go is nicer.
