TomTom MyDrive Connect - Update your sat nav | TomTom

Screen-wise, we're talking 6-inch screen and 800 by 480 pixels, just like the Go 6000. But here's the catch. It's a resistive rather than capacitive touchscreen. Bummer. For starters, that means you lose the pinch-to-zoom gesture support of the pricier TomTom's. But more on the screen response in a moment. Another major addition with the TomTom Go 6000 is something that TomTom calls 'Always Connected', that is, it boasts an integrated data modem to access the TomTom data network directly from the sat nav. You don't incur any additional costs when using this, and it even works when you're driving around Europe, signal permitting of course.

The new Predictive Flow Feed more accurately figures out traffic speed on a route, for an improved estimated time of arrival, although we never had much issue with this aspect of TomTom sat-navs. As it is, TomTom Traffic reportedly uses data from 350 million vehicles around the world and covers 99 per cent of UK roads, compared to about 10 per cent for the venerable TMC alternative. So the accuracy is about ten times as much, with TomTom claiming jams are detected down to 10m accuracy compared to 100m for TMC. In our experience, this can make a noticeable difference in predicting delay duration. The maps you get free forever and there's coverage of 45 European countries. Well, more accurately, you can update the maps in full four times a year. Plenty good enough.

However, in the TomTom Go 60, the map renders at a pretty low frame rate, perhaps thanks to a slower, cheaper CPU. Combine that with the resistive screen and it's just not as nice to use as the pricier models.

TomTom GO 600 Review | Trusted Reviews

The TomTom Go 6000 boasts a new chassis, a new interface and a whole new way of working. But should TomTom be fixing things that weren't obviously broken in the first place? A warning screen appears to confirm the deletion of your saved places and settings. Select Reset to confirm. When prompted to select a language, press and hold the On/Off button until the device restarts and you hear the drum sounds. This can take 30 seconds or more.You are now warned if you are approaching a traffic jam at too high a speed, the danger of which has been particularly underlined by the recent mass accident on the Sheppey crossing. The detection of road closures has been improved, too, alongside more accurate detection of road works, so you can avoid these. Earlier versions of Traffic could occasionally mistake a closed road for one with no jam at all, with potentially annoying results – for example, when the Hammersmith flyover was forced to close in December 2011 for emergency repairs.
