TomTom Go GPS Review
While there are many technologies in the IT industry that receive a lot of hype there are very few that actually mean anything to the man in the street. The Global Positioning System (GPS) however, is one that could truly be said to have entered the mainstream. This is no doubt due to the fact that its benefits are readily apparent even to the non-technically minded. A car based GPS system ensures that you don’t have to worry about getting lost, which can really take the stress out of driving. It also removes the need to drive around with a map over the steering wheel, making driving a lot safer. However, most factory-fitted systems just consist of a basic display, while after market satellite navigation units with large colour screen tend to be exorbitantly priced. Conversely, PDA based GPS systems have proved to be very popular due to being inexpensive and portable while performing just as well. With the Mio 168 we were even introduced to the concept of Pocket PCs with GPS receiver’s built-in. One of the biggest names in PDA based navigation is TomTom. Its popular Navigator software is now on its third iteration and the company stole a march on its competitors by being the first to introduce a virtual 3D view to its software. This experience has clearly paid off in its creation of the TomTom GO, which is an impressively polished product.
