I used my Tom Tom Go 510 yesterday when I needed to go to Peterborough to get a passport renewed. I had no idea where I was going so I just left it up to the Tom Tom to guide me.

All was going well when all of a sudden while travelling down the A421 the Tom Tom got lost. It kept telling me I was driving in a field and I should turn off and kept re-calculating my route. Now I’ve been down this road many times before and I’m sure it has been there for at least 5 years.

Eventually it recognized the road I was on and all was well and it directed be into the centre of Peterborough on time and managed to get my passport.

I was a bit concerned about how it would take me home and once I got on this dual carriageway it did the same thing again which begs the question, how up to date are these maps in the Tom Tom?
