Accurate navigation

Fast. Easy to follow maps. Customisable menus
The Go Live 1000 is speed demon of a satnav
Able to calculate routes and re-route a lot faster than its rivals. Factor in its excellent Live services (free for a year)
Which serve up real time traffic updates
The locations of mobile speed cameras and the ability to find locations using Google’s Local Search tech
And you’ve got a fantastically capable
Fast-acting satnav. It’s £47 per year to

The editors didn't like
Sticky menu system
Bulky unit
Price
Subscription cost for services kicks in
Memory is readonly!
Voice recognition needs work
Limited battery life
Glossy screen subject to reflections
No media features
Missing mapshare and voice downloads
Rubbish voice-recognition system

Slightly bulky. Convoluted menu back-end
There’s isn’t much to pick at here
Except perhaps the price. The Go Live 1000 is more expensive than most of its rivals
And if you don’t find yourself using satnav regularly you might not feel like you’re getting the best value for money.
Bluetooth phone memory function didn't import all contacts
Some occasional lags in navigation (might get fixed prior to release)

Abstract: If you do a lot of driving like I do then you need a decent sat nav that will not only get you from A to B, but will make sure that you get to B before A has even realised you've left. The is just such a device. Although it's been available since the ...

There’s no denying it : TomTom, Garmin, Mio and the rest’s low range dedicated satnavs feel increasingly irrelevant in the wake of free phone services, and even the company’s own apps for those platforms.But the TomTom Go Live 1000 isn’t for casual dri...

Fast, easy to use and powerful, the new TomTom GO LIVE 1000 has some real stretngths that make it a serious contender, and the LIVE services only add to the attraction. However, TomTom's decision to lock the memory and leave out some features mean that...
Fast, accurate navigation; advanced traffic-avoidance system; integrated Google search
Rubbish voice-recognition system; Live services are only free for a year
The TomTom Go Live 1000 is probably the best sat-nav on the market. It's fast, accurate and will do a better job than most other sat-navs of keeping your maps up-to-date....
We're not impressed by some aspects of the new capacitive touch screen, which is a real shame as otherwise it's an impressive sat-nav with seamless integration of the impressive GPRS-based LIVE services, and the new magnetic mount deserves heaps of pra...
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 v...
