TomTom GO 1000 LIVE
TomTom raises the bar once more on sat-nav technology
Improved menu system ; Fast route calculation ; Live traffic ; updates
Expensive ; Live traffic incurs an ongoing cost
As with its TomTom LIVE predecessors, the GO 1000 is not a cheap sat-nav and despite its abilities, if you're only an occasional traveller it will be overkill. For those in this category, a more modest option would make better economic sense. But for...

TomTom GO Live 1000 review
Is TomTom's new high-end sat nav good enough to lead the line?
Great LIVE services ; Great touchscreen ; Decent value
Sticky menu system ; Bulky unit
The sat nav market is becoming a very crowded place, and the quality of hardware has rocketed in the last year.

TomTom GO Live 1000 review
TomTom is well known for the simplicity of its GPS devices, and the GO 1000 continues this tradition. It features just a single power button in the top-left corner as the only physical control; this doubles as an indicator light when the unit is...
The TomTom GO Live 1000 is one of the best-equipped GPS navigation devices on the market, making it ideal for those who use a sat nav every day. Less frequent users will get better value out of cheaper units, but the GO 1000 is slick, functional and...

TomTom Go Live 1000
Pared down and powered up, TomTom's latest Go Live 1000 shuns the often frivolous features of other sat-navs and concentrates on navigation essentials.
Brian Blessed is the latest to add his immortal tones to the TomTom catalogue, so don't be too surprised if you find yourself ordered to dive while flying blind on a rocket cycle next time you're en route to Basingstoke.

TomTom Go Live 1000 review
TomTom's new flagship is super-responsive and brings the potential for third-party apps. Is it the world's best sat-nav?
Impressively fast and the Webkit for third-party apps could see things get really interesting

Review: TomTom GO LIVE 1000 £199
Turn10 studios really laid down the gauntlet with Forza Motorsport 3, a deep, accomplished racer that was as realistic as it was fun. Can this year's sequel, Forza Motorsport 4 go one better and overtake Gran Turismo 5 to take pole position? Read on to...
While not every addition in Forza Motorpsort 4 is a must have one, none of them are awful, nor detract from the absolutely stunning race action on offer here. You could argue that more brand new content could have been thrown in to appeal to returning...

TomTom GO 1000 LIVE
The TomTom GO 1000 LIVE demonstrates how GPSs are slowly turning into 'smartnavs'.
Live traffic services, google search on the go, and speed camera monitoring.
Renewable subscription fees

TomTom Go Live 1000 review
For drivers who clock up the most miles, it's the best option yet, but at a price.
HD Traffic, sturdy build and local search
Price, subscription cost for services kicks in

Tomtom Go Live 1000 review
GPS firm finally raises the bar
Good build quality and user interface, fast GPS signal pickup
Voice control needs polish, hit and miss traffic data, cost
of smartphones and built-in car global positioning system (GPS) units, Tomtom is still plugging away and its latest effort represents the firm's best dedicated standalone GPS unit to date.
