Product Information

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. Users have highlighted the device's reliability compared to mobile-based navigation apps that are prone to losing internet connection. The Start 52 Lite is commended for its dependability, providing consistent guidance throughout the journey. Windows will automatically update the latest drivers for your device and MyDrive Connect should now recognise your device. Take the guesswork out of driving with the most accurate, up-to-date world maps on the market. 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 The biggest time-saving feature is live traffic updates, which you will even find on some affordable satnavs these days. The big manufacturers monitor traffic on major roads and proactively send warnings so you can avoid any major hold-ups while you plan or even as you drive. Speed camera alerts are another useful bonus, although you may have to pay a subscription to keep them up to date. Is there anything else worth looking out for?

The real key here, though, is that you’re still getting TomTom’s excellent maps and guidance, in a device that feels relatively nippy and doesn’t leave you too frustrated every time you search for a destination. It also updates over Wi-Fi and comes with a decent windscreen mount. Move up to the Essential for a better all-round experience, with voice control and a better touchscreen, but this wallet-friendly option won’t let you down. Does anybody still need a satnav? Now that many cars are sold with built-in navigation and any decent smartphone can do the job, you might think the answer would be no. However, there’s still a lot to be said for the best satnavs. For a start, not all new cars include navigation in their entry-level models, while older, secondhand models might have an outdated satnav – if they have one at all. And can you remove your car’s built-in satnav and take it on your holiday in a rental car? 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 BenefitsYou also get live traffic data through your smartphone and lifetime map updates for the UK and Europe, while live speed camera alerts, live fuel prices and off-road parking are thrown in for the first year (you will need to pay a subscription after that). TomTom’s voice controls remain a bit restrictive, not to mention hit and miss on the recognition front, but this is the best of its satnavs for navigating your way around, and a great – if more expensive – rival to the Garmin DriveSmart 65.

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. If your computer fails to assign the driver automatically, you can install it by following the steps below.The TomTom GO DISCOVER is your go-to driving companion that helps you explore new routes with confidence. It’s equipped with the latest and greatest TomTom technology, so you can look forward to where you’re going.
