    Although impressive, the fact you have to shell out £7.99 per month to get the most out of the Go 540 Live will be enough to dissuade many potential buyers. But if you spend a lot of time on the tarmac, the regularly updated traffic service may well be enough to swing it for you. Read more

    Satellite navigation has always felt slightly magical - a real-time blend of the conceptual world of maps with the physical world around us. But we're still only scratching the surface of what is possible with a location-aware device. Now TomTom is promising to unlock a new generation of capabilities via its LIVE system. Read more

    The product (in it's limited use with the supplied out of date database) seems to be good quality, well designed and does what it says on the box!..
