Can't you get the upgrade to version 5 for free? With the TomTomGO you can upgrade for free...... however if you want the latest maps and full postcode support you do have to pay.
So far I've just gone with the free upgrade on my GO...... version 5 is a big step forward compared to previous small changes. I've been using it for a few weeks with no problems....... main improvements are (in no particular order) a compass, navigate to city/town centre option, full postcode support (but only with the new maps), visual route demo, intinerary planning with savable routes and waypoints, speed sensitive volume control (can't remember if this was new in v5 or v4).
Well worth the trouble to upgrade

Whilst downloading, I read what the free 'upgrade' actually did & haven't bothered to download to the TTG!
I might as well hang on until I actually need new maps & do the whole cabootle.

The speed sensitive volume control is good as well!

Yes but you need software version 4.21 or later...... each POI can have a warning sound which can be triggered at different distances.
E.g. I've got the fixed speed cameras set to a warning tone at 300 yards if on the road I'm travelling....... mobile laser sites are set to a differnt tone and 1000 yards distance. Shell and BP stations have a bugle when within 2 miles of one.
You set the sounds up in the POI menu.
