Great LIVE services
Great touchscreen
Decent value
The option to customise the stats and actions on your screenVoice search is rather inconveniently tucked away
But you can bring it to the screen tweaking the settings this way. Unfortunately
Even with our southern RP accent
It struggled to make much sense of our request s most of the time
Confusing postcodes for “tourist info” and “Ealing” for “Liverpool Street” – the latter two are not clos
Routes calculated very fast
HD Traffic service included
Efficient navigation
Simple
Attractive interface is easy to use
Handy magnetic windscreen mount
Good quality audio
Great routeplanning features
Quick traffic updates
Good lane guidance
Fast
Accurate navigation
Advanced traffic-avoidance system
Integrated Google search
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
Live services are only free for a year
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)

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 thos...

A welcomed refresh to a system we already liked, but as a headline device, the TomTom Go 1000 Live is packed full of features that some might never use, at a price some might not want to pay. There is no question, however, that it is an excellent navig...

Voice command is hit and miss, not notably faster at recalculating routes, no traffic capabilities, no Australian text-to-speech voice, MyTomTom software currently limited
The TomTom GO 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. The user experience is slick, functional and very well designed. However, less frequent users will get better value...
Looks. Capacitive touchscreen. Spiffed up interface. Fast routing. Magnetic windscreen mount
Missing camera warnings. New MyTomTom PC software lacks most of TomTom Home's functionality. Voice recognition spotty at best. Glossy screen suffers from distracting daytime reflections
The Go 1000's story is one of potential unfulfilled. It may be a winner after a patch or two and when the PC software's been made to work as it should, but until then it's hard to recommend....
