TomTom Go 940 Live Review

Many view TomTom as the sat nav industry’s version of leading technology companies, such as Apple or Sony.  Much of this acclaim is centered on the flagship TomTom Go 940 Live, which is arguably one of the most complete satellite navigation systems to date (check it out here or more sat navs from TomTom here).  While it still sports the comprehensive, easy to read interface we have all come to expect, it is the addition of various LIVE services that truly elevate the 940 to new heights.

Key Features and Functionality

The most innovative of the LIVE features would have to be HD traffic.  Instead of depending on unreliable RDS traffic updates, TomTom gathers position, speed and direction of cell phone signals to efficiently calculate where traffic is accumulating or has stopped entirely.  This data is beamed to your TomTom Go 940 Live every three minutes, re-routing your journey on an as-needed basis.
