If you're looking for a premium sat-nav to smooth the way to your destination, check out the TomTom GO 950 LIVE.
Expert review by : Rob Mead (techradar.com)
A premium sat nav at a premium price
Simple and easy to use ; Good range of tweakable options ; Lots of genuinely useful features
High price tag ; Some voice instructions can be ambiguous ; Annual subscription charge
If TomTom sets the benchmark by which other sat navs are judged, then life for the competition has been even tougher since the Dutch company introduced its Go 950 Live flagship last September.
