Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

TomTom GO is the easy to install and easy to use all-in-one car navigation device. There is no need for a set-up linked to a PC in fact no technical knowledge is needed at all. It fits easily into the included car mounting kit, which is simply mounted on your car windshield or dashboard. Just turn it on and users can instantly access all the software, maps and color 3D navigation views, as well as voice-guided instructions in a language of choice.
TomTom GO features a built-in GPS receiver that provides unprecedented new levels of satellite navigation using the latest hardware and software available on the market.

The TomTom GO 500 comes with pre installed detailed map of your country connected to the Major Roads of Europe map all pre-installed on an SD card. You can go door-to-door across entire country and can seamlessly find your way to any town across Europe using the Major Roads of Europe map.

TomTom GO 500 is equipped with voice communication capabilities that enable it to be used as a hands-free kit for Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones. By connecting to the driver's phone via Bluetooth wireless technology, the driver can safely and comfortably take and make calls while navigating from A to B. The hands-free functionality works so easily that your phone can even be in your bag or pocket. Simply tap the GO screen to accept a call or to make one and talk through the GO while you drive. The TomTom GO 500 routes calls automatically from your mobile phone through the integrated speaker and microphone with professional sound quality, while the screen continues to show you where to go. You can make calls in the same way, and you can even access your mobile's phonebook through the GO.

TomTom GO's unique touch screen activation means there is no hassle with multiple buttons or extra hardware when calculating your route. The touch screen is completely intuitive and your route can be planned with just a few taps on the screen. At the end of the journey, simply turn TomTom GO off with the click of one button then pop it in your bag. There has never been a faster or easier way to navigate your way to where you have to, or want to go.

TomTom GO 500 features a 3.5 transreflective display screen that gives clear visibility in any situation from direct sunlight to low light conditions. It also features TomTom's unique 3D and top down view that makes the navigation experience more true to life and interactive than many built-in car GPS systems. The enhanced, CD-quality speaker volume provides crystal clear sound that allows you to hear the voice instructions above the noise of the engine. The compact, stylish and unobtrusive TomTom GO 500 provides up to 5 hours of constant navigation, powered by its Lithium-ion battery.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely excellent product, 20 Sep 2005
    By Mr. P. A. Honeywell "northantsstar" (Northants UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    This exceptional product is easy to transfer from car to car, and with very good mapping and 3D display. Easy to use. I bought the US maps (which just slot in to replace the UK map card) as I travel there frequently, and pop it into my hire car and follow the instructions to obscure destinations like office parks and hotels I don't know. Last trip my flights from Maine were cancelled at the last minute, and I had to drive 6 hours to get to Newark airport - and my tomtom friend took me there without hesitation through multiple freeways and turnpikes. I even booked a room using the phone numbers displayed for hotels. Back home, just replace the map card and it will take me to any UK address. At the same time, it's a handsfree for my bluetooth mobile. Fantastic, and worth every penny (or cent).

    5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic product, 11 Jul 2005
    By A Customer
    I dont normally write reviews but having read one on here entitled 'Disapointed' I felt I needed to set the record straight.

    This is a fantastic product. I have had no problem with addresses - and I do a lot of travelling around the country with work. The ability to find locations by address or postcode lookup is simple to use. The directions are clear, the turn by turn voice commands are also loud and well spoken, and the night colours mode is also an exellent idea, and make the screen colours less harsh in evening travelling.

    The major benefit of this model over the 300 is the bluetooth compatibility - setting up my phone to sync with the unit was suprisingly simple, it imported my phone book in moments and has allowed for excellent hands free calling.

    I really cant recommend this product enough!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Motoring revelation arrives, 20 Jul 2005
    By A Customer
    A brilliant product that really takes the hassle out of route-finding to fresh or linfrequently used destinations, however, living and travelling in rural locations can be a hassle when driving with wide vehicles and trailers. My suggested improvement would be a setting on Tomtom to keep to more major roads as an option for finding an easy route. This apart, it would have scored 5 stars. I just love it, and so will people who are nervous about travelling to new or little known destinations. I showed mine to my brother and had difficulty getting it back off him. Say no more...!
