We’ve just got our hands on one of TomTom’s new Live satnavs. From the outside, it looks every inch the standard navigator, but inside there’s a hidden SIM card and mobile connection, letting it hop onto Google, grab petrol prices and track live traffic information.

We’ve heard murmurs that Nokia had plans for a next-gen traffic service to go head to head with TomTom HD Traffic, and now it’s official: Nokia’s Mobile Millennium project will collect data from the roads and analyse congestion hotspots.
TomTom was busy showing off its next-gen internet-connected satnavs today when the company’s MD Corinne Vigreux let slip plans for global domination, or control of our roads at least.
TomTom’s ultra-smart, Google-equipped Go Live satnavs just started to ship to stores, so you’ll finally be able to buy them in a couple of weeks, but we’ve taken them for an early test drive to see if they really are more than just a map with search built in. See the pics right here!
Bored of following the same old instructions? TomTom just announced it’s doing its bit for Children in Need this year, by offering the voices of Terry Wogan, Alan Dedicoat (that’s the National Lottery’s Voice Of The Balls to you), Radio 2’s Sally “Traffic” Boazman and Lynn Bowles, the BBC’s Welsh traffic reporter.
In these times of economic trouble, it’s good to know tech firms are on our side. TomTom’s new satnavs will even scour the local area to find the cheapest petrol on offer, before directing you straight to the forecourt!
Got a TomTom? Now you can keep it loaded with up to date maps without lifting a finger! The satnav firm’s just unveiled TomTom Map Update, a simple service to load up-to-the-minute maps as soon as they’re available.
The battle to get you from A to B just stepped up a gear, with Nokia ripping the covers off its next-gen traffic prediction service.
