TomTom web site annoyances

Dear TomTom,
A recent road trip made us think that an in-car nav system would be worth getting. We like that your systems run Linux, and are non-destructively hackable, we can apparently put our own applications on your platform and still switch back to the original firmware when we want that feature set.
So I went to your web site to try to figure out what the differences between your various products are. You had a "product selector", so I clicked on it. It let me check the features I thought were important. Unfortunately, it appeared to do nothing to tell me which devices had those features. So I checked the boxes next to two different devices, and it showed me a comparison between them (but there was, alas, no table showing all the differences between all 6 devices). At the bottom, below each column of features for a particular device, there was a link to take me to the "Product Page". This link does not always take me to the product page for the device in that column.
Nice effort, but a little attention to detail there would be cool.
