Seattle Coffee Gear Diletta Bello+ Espresso Machine review: enjoy Italian-style espresso every morning Drive-ready satnavs simplify your journeys with trusted road and traffic guidance. Be inspired, drive prepared, and know that TomTom are with you every step of your journey.The TomTom GO DISCOVER is your go-to driving companion that helps you explore new routes with confidence. It’s equipped with the latest and greatest TomTom technology, so you can look forward to where you’re going. It’s a step above the Start models, which are limited in their data functionality by not offering traffic, and cheaper than the Go offerings as that range has its own data connection built in. The real key here, though, is that you’re still getting TomTom’s excellent maps and guidance, in a device that feels relatively nippy and doesn’t leave you too frustrated every time you search for a destination. It also updates over Wi-Fi and comes with a decent windscreen mount. Move up to the Essential for a better all-round experience, with voice control and a better touchscreen, but this wallet-friendly option won’t let you down. GO Expert and GO Professional simplify planning with dedicated guidance for vehicle size, weight, dimensions and maximum speed.

To learn more about your TomTom model, you can refer to the table below. The table consists of the serial number prefix and the model number to help you identify your device. Voice commands suffer from the same issues as with the DriveSmart 66, and it’s particularly frustrating that you can’t choose from a range of search options without glancing at the screen. However, the spoken and visual guidance is excellent, making good use of street names and landmarks. On rural journeys there are still some odd omissions, not to mention situations where a bear right becomes a right turn or vice versa. It’s here, rather than in the towns and on the major roads, where TomTom has a slight edge. That’s emblematic of the stiff competition the DriveSmart 66 is getting from the similar TomTom Go Discover, but the Garmin is slightly cheaper and, as an all-rounder, hard to beat. You also get live traffic data through your smartphone and lifetime map updates for the UK and Europe, while live speed camera alerts, live fuel prices and off-road parking are thrown in for the first year (you will need to pay a subscription after that). TomTom’s voice controls remain a bit restrictive, not to mention hit and miss on the recognition front, but this is the best of its satnavs for navigating your way around, and a great – if more expensive – rival to the Garmin DriveSmart 65.Of course, having a screen in the car can be a distraction, so the interfaces are designed to minimise driver interaction. In fact, many now include voice controls that can help you avoid using the touchscreen quite so often, and with better integration with smartphones and voice assistants, these are becoming more dependable. When you do reach for the screen, you will appreciate having one with the same capacitive technology used by smartphones. 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. How will satnavs make my journey smoother?

The biggest time-saving feature is live traffic updates, which you will even find on some affordable satnavs these days. The big manufacturers monitor traffic on major roads and proactively send warnings so you can avoid any major hold-ups while you plan or even as you drive. Speed camera alerts are another useful bonus, although you may have to pay a subscription to keep them up to date. Is there anything else worth looking out for?From weekend escapes to epic road trips, TomTom GO CLASSIC is your affordable navigation companion. It has all you need to easily plan your journey and enjoy smooth travels, including the latest European maps, fast Wi-Fi® updates, smart routing and live traffic info.
