The GO and GO LIVE 1000 is TomTom's first device range to feature the capacitive Fluid Touch screen which lets drivers pinch to zoom in and out of maps, or scroll through menus with the tips of their fingers. The screen responds intelligently and sensitively to even the lightest touch, making interaction more responsive than in any of its predecessors. And combined with an extra-wide touch screen measuring 13cm (5"), the GO 1005 features the clearest view on the road ahead with even easier operation and functionality.
For a quick start to the journey, TomTom has created the new Easy Click magnetic mount. Docking and undocking is now easier than ever even with just one hand. In fact, simply holding the device against the mount glides the TomTom GO LIVE simply into place.

Plus every device comes with new, richer maps covering two million kilometres more roads across 45 European countries and more graphical details.

Combining cutting-edge features and enhanced usability, the new TomTom GO 1000, GO LIVE 1000, GO 1005 and GO LIVE 1005 devices really signal the arrival of the "super satnav".
