TomTom Go Live 1535 M

$270

For sheer value we have to give the nod to TomTom for its focus on reducing drive time. The 1535 M’s HD Traffic service communicates in real-time (every two minutes) to and from HD-enabled devices, collecting speed and route information and thereby building a continuous map of traffic flow and slowdowns. TomTom promises this will reduce average drive times; furthermore, the network effect of these devices means owners would see a five per cent reduction in average commute time if 10 per cent of drivers around them used HD Traffic devices. The 1535 M sells for $270, with a one-year HD Live subscription. After that, HD Live will cost $59 per year, including the required Rogers wireless access.
