Analysis of the TomTom Go Live 1000, perfect car GPS navigator

In the world of GPS almost profiles could differentiate between two very clear: the casual user who it was worth a GPS provided indications of the latest mobile phone (or not) generation, and second, the user profile almost professional GPS and gives intensive, especially in large cities. For them it almost mandatory to use a dedicated and quality.

The TomTom Go Live 1000 that we tested in Tech News Buzz necessarily have to place it as a perfect model for the latter. A hardware reliability, the proper functioning of the maps and technologies to help us on the road, this latest model of TomTom star gets away with its connection to the Internet which gives us precise information about traffic, weather and gives us information services related to our location.

The TomTom Go Live 1000 no one can bring us back and forth with effectiveness, but always aims to make our journey better. Since last year, do not get a GPS that has no Internet connection. It is true that I can use my smartphone to get information about traffic, roads or find the opening hours of restaurant that I had recommended that road takes me on my journey of Holy Week.

But if you can have it on the same machine, why use two? The TomTom Go 1000 is, as we advance, a GPS navigator like the Garmin Nuvi 370, is called to reign between the GPS race, dedicated. Their strengths are the LIVE service, which we acquired over a year to buy the browser, which obtained the information through data connectivity provided by Vodafone.

In subsequent years it is true that we have to pay about 50 euros every year to keep the TomTom Go Live 1000 live in this area. The TomTom Go Live 1000 is not a model that can boast compact. Not great but we can not carry it in your pocket without being noticed (by the way, would have been great if TomTom offer a carrying case on the contents of the package, because with the price, well deserves it).

Yes, this GPS navigator is well designed, with an excellent finish and we have the arm so comfortable placing and removing it seems. The size of the browser screen is 4.3 inches, the correct dimensions. The panel is touch-type capacitive multitouch specifically, and the response we have obtained evidence is remarkably neutral high.

It looks very well in adverse lighting conditions and the tactile response is required except when that tune a lot in the menus. Precisely the simplicity and good design of these menus are also worth a high note. Not much depth in them and that is welcome. In conjunction with the processor, the TomTom Go Live 1000 moves seamlessly and have noticed no slowdowns or lack of processing power at any time.

As a navigation aid, are the classic TomTom, and highlight how useful route planning, the assistant track and IQ Routes technology. We can not forget of course the voice control, which works perfectly in this Go Live 1000. The real strength of this browser is its Live services directly accessible because we have continuous Internet connection.

With it, the browser receives real time information to feed the IQ Routes technology. With it, and based on data from other drivers and the company's experience, the routes are not static and the system proposes better solutions depending on the traffic, the road, the day of the week and special circumstances due to Live services, the TomTom Go 1000 can know.

The HD Traffic service or weather conditions are further aid the driver in the latest TomTom screen. With these data, other officers and to supplement information from other drivers, GPS can provide problems in our path and propose real alternatives. The last important aspect that helps the permanent Internet connection of this GPS has Google as the protagonist.

Its search service based on our position is built, and professionals can be very helpful. A GPS to take us back and forth and not have to be something to brag about. They do it all, with better design, price or size, and even roadside assistance technologies very similar or similar results.

So a passenger is true you need a dedicated GPS gadget remain an attractive, at least for heavy users. The price of 300 euros for the TomTom Go Live 1000 is a barrier that is in the range of most professionals, but the inclusion of a year of Live with traffic services, Internet and data free time very well inclined the balance in his favor.

And is that everything works as promised over and driving with a TomTom Go Live 1000 is better than doing it right now with any other GPS on the market. So it is a "chosen by News Tech Buzz." The TomTom Go Live 1000 has been transferred to the test by TomTom. Please check our relationships with companies
