Product Information

Even basic satnavs now come with lifetime map updates, so you shouldn’t be confused by different road layouts or the appearance or disappearance of roads and roundabouts along your route. What’s more, the two leading manufacturers – Garmin and TomTom – have now had years to hone their map displays and voice guidance, with clear, timely directions that take you through what you need to do and when.

Voice commands suffer from the same issues as with the DriveSmart 66, and it’s particularly frustrating that you can’t choose from a range of search options without glancing at the screen. However, the spoken and visual guidance is excellent, making good use of street names and landmarks. On rural journeys there are still some odd omissions, not to mention situations where a bear right becomes a right turn or vice versa. It’s here, rather than in the towns and on the major roads, where TomTom has a slight edge. That’s emblematic of the stiff competition the DriveSmart 66 is getting from the similar TomTom Go Discover, but the Garmin is slightly cheaper and, as an all-rounder, hard to beat. If you are using MyDrive Connect on a business network, for example at your workplace, be aware that your company may have restrictions and access policies that may prevent MyDrive Connect from connecting to TomTom servers. To ensure your device remains in peak condition, TomTom offers software updates. These updates introduce new navigation features, improved performance, and extra customisation options, keeping your device fresh and efficient. Key BenefitsBig screen. Big sound.

Stay one step ahead of traffic and within the speed limit with live TomTom Traffic updates, traffic jam warnings and 1-year of speed camera alerts. Designed for effortless use Where there are differences, they come down to things such as 3D junction displays that show your path through a series of turns or complicated junctions, which can make all the difference when you’re on an unfamiliar road or surrounded by fast-moving traffic. Some Garmin satnavs also offer street views as you approach your destination so you don’t miss the building or a final turning. They might also use visual cues to help you, like suggesting that you turn after a landmark such as a church. Enter the TomTom Start 52, a navigation device that merges simplicity with functionality to deliver a flawless journey experience. This system is designed to take the stress out of your travel, allowing you to focus on the journey ahead with confidence.

If your navigation device is not recognised by your computer or is shown as "Not connected" in MyDrive Connect, the issue might lay with the connection, the computer or with the device itself.Driving instructors have also been drawn to this model due to its use in UK driving tests. Despite being slower to programme and not offering lane advice, it’s considered an adequate tool for teaching learner drivers. Make sure the cable is connected directly to your device, and not to the mount. If your device has a mount, remove it before connecting the USB cable.
