Benefits

  • The screen is large and clear but reflects the light a little. Better than a phone screen.
  • It has been made to make such that adding navigation and rest break is super easy.
  • On this GPS device, service and roadworks/congestion shows up on your “timeline” (that is the vertical bar on the right that describes your journey).  Also, there is even a timer that shows how long it is until your next “event.”
  • A unique feature known as MyDrive helps plan your routes, ensuring users enjoy a safe and stress-free sojourn.
  • TomTom RoadTrips can be used to discover and download new places to see along the way.

Downsides

  • It operates on “TomTom Minutes,” in which your journey time increases for no reason.
  • Takes a while to boot up (30 seconds or more) when turned off.
  • Some users complain that notifications seem to beep randomly without a corresponding event on the screen.
  • The screen touch may use some improvements as it is not as sensitive as a mobile phone.

Verdict

The TomTom Car Sat Nav GO Basic (1BA5.002.00) is both easy to use and effective. Get one today and start your adventure up mountains, along coastal roads, into forests and beyond with your trusty sat nav guide.
