Summary: The new Via range and the TomTom GO LIVE 1000 haven't gone as smoothly as expected. To be specific, the new MyTomTom update software has been causing problems. As we write, TomTom has only just given users the ability to define their own points of...
Conclusion: The TomTom Via LIVE 120 is fast, feature-packed and fun to use. With the LIVE services on board, it has everything you'd expect from a top-of-the-range sat nav, apart from the price tag. It's a great choice for drivers who need reliable information...

Summary: The TomTom Via LIVE 120 slots into the TomTom range below the top-end Go LIVE 1000 devices and consequently it doesn't have as many fancy features. The screen isn't as roomy; there's no pinch-to-zoom and it lacks the neat magnetic window bracket.
Conclusion: It's easy to be impressed by the TomTom Via LIVE 120 and you can buy it for less than its £200 RRP. Apart from a few nav-niggles, the LIVE Services are a serious advantage for regular drivers. However, it's worth keeping in mind that you'll be paying...
Pro : God-like HD Traffic ; Hands-free phone calls ; Map corrections and updates

Summary: The TomTom Via Live 120 sits in the middle of TomTom's range of satnav devices, a step down from their all-encompassing Go line, and above the XL and Start models. The Via Live 120 comes in two versions, European mapping and the “regional” mapping, in...
Conclusion: Compact and smart, the TomTom Via Live 120 is an excellent navigation device with a lot going for it
Pro : HD Traffic, price, suction mount, excellent display mapping, Bluetooth phone integration

Summary: If you read our review of the Go 1000 Live, but were hoping for a cheaper version, you're in luck: TomTom has launched the Via Live 120. It has almost all the benefits of the 1000, but costs well under £200.
Conclusion: Despite a couple of minor flaws, the Via Live 120 is a great satnav. We just hope MyTomTom is fully working soon.
