Tom Tom Sat Nav

Installing a satellite navigation system in a vehicle is a great way to enhance the driving experience.

Whether the vehicle is used for business or pleasure purposes, drivers will benefit from the addition of an in-car satellite navigation system, which uses GPS global positioning system technology to accurately pinpoint the vehicle’s location before referencing it against map databases in order to provide detailed directions to guide a driver to their chosen destination.

The aftermarket Tom Tom sat nav systems range from the more basic Start range, where drivers can choose from the Start Regional, Start Europe or the Start Europe “I’d be lost without you” models, all of which feature simplified menus, IQ Routes software, optional StartSkins, latest map guarantees and an Easyport Mount. Moving into the mid range aftermarket Tom Tom sat nav range, drivers can opt for the One IQ Routes regional or Europe editions – offering advanced lane guidance as well as many of the same features as the Start range.

At the top end of the Tom Tom sat nav range are the Go Live in-car navigation systems. The Go 550 Live model, the Go 750 live model and the Go 95 live model all offer the same staple features as the manufacturer’s more basic models as well as the added extras of voice command and control, allowing drivers to programme and change destinations without taking their hands off the wheel, as well as hands free calling options, meaning motorists can connect their Tom Tom sat nav system to their mobile phone to allow safe and legal phone use during car journeys.
