TomTom GO 520

 

The GO 520 is the first satnav from TomTom to roll out Wi-Fi to the company's mid-range. This is a 5-inch unit offering similar features to the GO 5200. The notable difference is that where the latter has a built-in mobile data connection, the 520...

The TomTom GO 520 provides Wi-Fi updates and great Live Traffic, although you’ll need to add your own smartphone for the latter.

TomTom Go 520 review

 

TomTom impresses again with the Go 520

Voice control ; Fantastic maps

Battery life is poor ; Needs a phone for all the features

The TomTom Go 520 is a smart sat nav that may need a phone to unleash its full potential but it's packed with functionality and is achingly simple to use. The screen is clear and bright, the maps second to none. It's a shame about the battery but the...

Saves time

 

Bought this as I misplaced my previous unit. The traffic updates are so accurate. I've been in hold ups that have just started and within seconds the unit updates. Easy to use and set up. Only criticism is lack of being able to set a maximum speed for...

Easy to use and maintain

 

I chose this model of satnav because of the ability to install map updates without the use of a computer. It has its own wifi and once connected it checks for downloads direct with Tomtom. This is great because I'm a long-time user of Linux computers,...
