TomTom Car Sat Nav Start 52, 5 Inch with EU Maps, Speed Cam Alert Trial, Integrated Reversible Mount, Black

Product Information

Topping off this impressive package, a highly responsive touchscreen provides 4x faster swiping and route calculations.

Like the more expensive DriveSmart models, it features points of interest from Tripadvisor and Foursquare, as well as live traffic alerts, speed camera warnings and weather forecasts. If you were to upgrade to a TomTom Go, then you are given a magnetic mount - something that’s a whole lot easier to use.

The table consists of the serial number prefix and the model number to help you identify your device.

What’s more, the two leading manufacturers – Garmin and TomTom – have now had years to hone their map displays and voice guidance, with clear, timely directions that take you through what you need to do and when.Cheaper and older models tend to have resistive touchscreens, which need more pressure when you hit a key and don’t provide such a clear or vibrant image. Meanwhile, this model is surprisingly rich in features, with smartphone connectivity, text message notifications and integration with TomTom’s MyDrive app. We then use them on a series of journeys, covering both rural and urban areas, to see how well they handle difficult roads and complex junctions, and how clear any spoken or visual instructions are. They’ve added extra processing power so you can swipe, zoom and use features quickly and easily – and they’ve even built in a 5Ghz Wi-Fi® band for even faster map and software updates.

For a start, not all new cars include navigation in their entry-level models, while older, secondhand models might have an outdated satnav – if they have one at all. Easy to setup, with clear menus and guidance, if you fancy upgrading from Google Maps on your phone, then you’ve come to the right place.

The best satnavs make it as straightforward as possible to find your destination, pick a route and locate nearby amenities. Get a clear view of your itinerary on a large 7” HD touchscreen with the highest resolution on the market.
