TomTom unveils flagship GO x50 LIVE series
Three new sat navs announced
TomTom has unveiled its new flagship sat nav devices – with the TomTom GO x50 Live series comprising the TomTom GO 950 Live, the Go 750 Live and the Go 550 Live.
The new devices, which have no firm release date beyond Autumn and have not been given a final price yet either, incorporate TomTom's IQ Routes technology.
The integration of the routing technologies apparently make the devices "more intuitive and easier to operate".
"Drivers are given all the information they need about their journey before they set off, at a glance," adds TomTom's release.
Petrol and traffic
You can also see petrol prices, real time traffic updates and safety alerts via the new LIVE snapshot.
