Got the route bar back on #TomTom Go for #AndroidAuto - After reading multiple forum threads (some with posts in in English, Dutch and German all in the same thread!) - had to sideload Android Auto APK 14.6.652454-release (and then turn off auto-updates so it doesn't get clobbered) and the route bar reappears..

I somewhat reluctantly installed paid version of #TomTom Go app on #Android (it was on discount, probably as TomTom are on the ropes) I've got a few long drives coming up and #OSM lacks warnings of the average speed cameras on #A12 in #Essex (alas, I have 0 idea how to accurately add them or if you could even get the data from #NationalHighways (presumably it is possible as TomTom has them)

It works fairly well (other than missing route bar on #AndroidAuto which TomTom and Google are struggling to fix) and does pick up my POIs from existing Tomtom cloud.

I'm not sure of the future of the company, they laid off loads of their staff (probably where #MagicEarth, also based in NL is getting their devs from) and their website and update servers barely work. #GNSS #satnav
