TomTom GO 50

 

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.

TomTom Go 50 review

 

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...

TomTom Go 50 S

 

The TomTom Go 50 S offers helpful features like traffic and safety camera alerts, but its touch screen can be unresponsive at times.

Free traffic and safety camera alerts. Decent interface.

Glitchy touch screen. Traffic requires connecting to smartphone.

Traffic, Other Features, and Conclusions Free traffic is available by downloading the TomTom MyDrive app and pairing your smartphone via Bluetooth with the unit. I had trouble pairing for unknown reasons. I was only able to use the app to see traffic,...

TomTom GO 50 S Review

 

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.

A Backward Step

Love the extra features my old one didn't have

 

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)
