Lifetime traffic and Euro map updates in an affordable 5-inch package
Lifetime TomTom Traffic ; Lifetime European maps ; Great value
Live services require smartphone connection ; Relatively low-resolution resistive touchscreen
The TomTom GO 50 marks the introduction of weather warnings, but the great value it represents for a 5-inch sat-nav is the main attraction.

Feature-packed, low-cost sat nav wants to be friends with your smartphone
Good value for money ; Lifetime TomTom Traffic ; Decent-size screen
Smartphone connection needed for timely info ; Resistive touchscreen
The resistive touchscreen is a little antiquated, but TomTom's Go 50 offers a lot of other good stuff in an affordable device: lifetime Traffic and European map data, weather warnings and a large 5-inch display. If you can't justify splashing out on a...

It's set apart from cheaper units by its ability to communicate with either an Android phone or an iPhone via Bluetooth in order to receive up-to-the-minute data on road conditions, and isn't limited to its built-in database of points of interest. Live...

The TomTom Go 50 S offers helpful features like traffic and safety camera alerts, but its touch screen can be unresponsive at times.
Expert review by : Suzanne Humphries (toptenreviews.com)
The TomTom GO 50 S is affordable and offers lifetime map and traffic updates. It doesn't have premium features but it is still a solid and helpful car GPS.
It comes with free map and traffic updates for the life of the device.
It doesn’t have the premium features of some of the best navigation GPS units.
The TomTom GO 50 S is a basic GPS, but the lifetime traffic updates make it a good value.

I replaced my previous TomTom One model with the Go50 thinking it would be a major improvement but I am very disappointed. The only improvement is the larger screen. Everything else is a backward step. The instructions that come with this model are...

This is my 2nd sat nav and the added features on this, especially the petrol stations showing up in advance, are so much better than the older version (even with updates)
