Google's navigation is nice considering it's free, but compared to a dedicated garmin or tomtom device it's very limited.]]>Apr 27th 2010 6:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/
Quite. Route calculation is also a snap on new smartphones thanks to all that processing power, and the network is already there to receive traffic notifications etc.

I'd only consider taking a dedicated GPS device for hiking or boating, where you need specialised features and ruggedness.]]>Apr 27th 2010 6:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/wrong dude. google maps and those phone maps only work wherever u have network coverages from the carriers. as far as i know there's still tons of places without coverages. try driving outside of the city and you'll see.]]>Apr 27th 2010 7:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/
I don't agree. The stand alone camera is not a dying business even though mobile phones (ie Sony Ericsson) have decent cameras.]]>Apr 27th 2010 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/
I don't agree.

@bigshape : tomtom live _includes_ access to google to search locations :)]]>Apr 27th 2010 7:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/Apr 27th 2010 7:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/Apr 27th 2010 7:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/@peterk70
i've also got copilot on my desire which i bought before google nav was an option - this has offline maps so can be used abroad without data connection as it stores the maps on the SD card. it was only £23 so not a big deal.
@oufdu75
tomtom live services have to be paid for to allow use of google searches - that cost is already included in a monthly phone tariff rather than an extra cost of buying a unit and paying an extra subscription.]]>Apr 27th 2010 8:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/
Google does not offer traffic avoidance or reroute yet.

Google does not have historical traffic built into routing either so thats a disadvantage for getting the best route especially compared to TomTom whose IQRoutes is as good as it gets on that.

And as has been said these devices operate just fine without a cell signal.]]>Apr 27th 2010 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/Apr 27th 2010 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/
I depend on my Nav device to navigate. I don't want to be using it for a phone call in the middle of a turn by turn instruction etc. Sorry for anyone who travels a lot it is worth it.]]>Apr 27th 2010 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/Apr 27th 2010 7:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/Apr 27th 2010 7:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/I'm also surprised that its taken this long to see more capacitive screens.

However, I will be sticking with a resistive screen gps. Its cold where I travel and I do not want to have to take off my gloves to use a capacitive screen.]]>Apr 27th 2010 8:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/Apr 27th 2010 7:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/Apr 27th 2010 8:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/(since Mobile browser provide location now).]]>Apr 27th 2010 8:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/
webkit UI means it DOES run in a browser, on the actual device.

It means that much more customizable content (graphical) can be created and even user content and menus are possible.]]>Apr 27th 2010 10:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/
For example, when I had a Palm Pre, if I was going very fast it would sometimes not tell me to "bear right" or "turn right" until I was just about to miss the exit or turn. In my mother's car, which has a built-in navigation system, that doesn't happen because the GPS location is refreshed much faster and more accurately.]]>Apr 27th 2010 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/27/tomtom-go-1000-live-to-offer-capacitive-touchscreen-webkit-brow/
I for one will be happy when this is available in the US.]]>Apr 27th 2010 3:18PM
