TomTom Goes LIVE

Some people may remember the days of maps and trying to read from a scrappy piece of paper with directions scrawled all over as a distant memory.  Satellite Navigation technology took the driving community by storm and enabled drivers to have a pleasant, driving experience without the need to take their eyes off the road. TomTom was one of the first manufacturers to bring Satellite Navigation to the general public and they haven't stopped there. Their newest TomTom product - GO LIVE has brought a whole list of added extras and possibilities for drivers. The connected GO 2505 M LIVE comes with all of TomTom's LIVE services, including TomTom HD Traffic.




Some of the features this new technology offers drivers:

  • Instant and continuous routing
  • Excellent graphics
  • Pinch-to-zoom
  • Swipe from screen-to-screen using gestures.
It keeps the drivers' safety in mind by having Bluetooth hands free calling and intuitive voice recognition. A new click and lock mount keeps your device safely mounted while driving and it also features a 5" glass touch screen. 


What other features does it have?

  • Real-time map updates.
  • Street names are announced to you as you drive.
  • Easy to use voice commands - drivers can now say "take me to the nearest petrol station" and a map will be routed for your nearest one. 
  • Instant and continuous routing.
  • GO's services are delivered via AT&T's wireless network and include Local Search, Fuel Prices and Weather Bundled. 
  • Includes the award winning TomTom HD Traffic which is known to be the most accurate, comprehensive and frequent traffic information available.


  The goal of TomTom HD is to offer real-time traffic solution to their customers, in hopes to empower consumers with superior driving intelligence.





You can pick one of these up from most participating stores such as Halfords and Amazon.co.uk for between £160-£280.
