Title: Review: TomTom Go Live 1000
Post by: Simon on November 18, 2010, 21:27
TomTom's satnavs have long been a favourite at PC Pro, but with hot competition from cheap apps on the iPhone and free satnav on other smartphone platforms, it's facing a difficult task to convince people to pay top dollar.

The Go Live 1000 is its latest top-end offering, and as usual it's an evolution rather than a ground-up redesign.

Two aspects of the design of the 1000 immediately catch the eye, and the first is the new mount system. Initially, we were sceptical, but it turns out to be an improvement: a strong magnet, rather than a mechanical clip, now holds the main unit in the cradle and, in a nod to Apple's design engineers, the charging cable is also magnetic. If you're the type who chucks the whole lot in the glove box, it's a big improvement - just slap everything together and the magnets do the rest.

Mine is less than a year old so I am unlikely to buy a new one for some time to come.
