Hack Tomtom Go Live 825 Best

Jun 17, 2011  The GO LIVE 825 is the first step towards TomTom rationalising its selection to connected GO LIVE models and non-connected Starts, the new members of.

There is NO (current) way to manipulate/crack/patch/copy/clone or otherwise modify these v10/v11/v12/v13/v14 navcore devices which are on all the latest devices since 2010 and (mostly) run through MyDrive rather than TTHome so PLEASE don't ask BUT feel free to contribute here. The current full list of these devices is below:- GO 40/50/60/400/500/600/800/1000/1500/2000/5000/6000 Series GO LIVE Camper & Caravan and Top Gear edition All Via/Via Live Series All PRO/PRO Truck series Start 20 & 60 Series (but NOT the Start Classic, Start, Start²/ **and SOME of the Start 40/50 Series**) which connect through TTHome Blue & Me TomTom 2 LIVE Sony XNV TomTom Connect **NOTE that SOME devices called START 40/50 Series are connected via MyDrive and some still connect through TTHome so just be careful.

The 1000 and 1005 remain the flagship members of the GO LIVE range. So the GO LIVE 825 is the new midrange offering, and uses the same integrated mount as the Via range, which means you need to attach it to your screen every time you use it. However, this also folds quite flush with the unit, so it still fits in a pocket.

Lots of people remove their sat- nav mount from their car after every usage anyway, in case its presence encourages a break in. Two door cinema club tourist history 320 kbps music downloads free. So this isn’t necessarily as big a drawback as it at first seems. The car power adapter is also TomTom’s latest two-part affair, with a USB cable connecting to a cigarette lighter plug.

So the same cable will be used for hooking up to PC as well as in-vehicle power. Of course, the jewel in the 825’s crown is its LIVE system. Surprisingly, this hasn’t changed considerably since its arrival in the GO 740 LIVE and GO 540 LIVE. The headline act remains HD Traffic, which is still unquestionably the best jam-detection system on the market. This augments traditional RDS-TMC information with data gleaned from Vodafone mobile phone triangulation and TomTom LIVE devices, providing a much more accurate and detailed picture of real-time traffic flow.

It’s not an infallible system, but it’s currently the most effective way to avoid being stuck in gridlock. The remaining LIVE services include Google Local Search, weather, dynamic mobile speed camera updates, and QuickGPSfix. Google Local Search is now quite ubiquitous, offering an online Points of Interest database that’s keyword searchable and extends far beyond the one stored locally. The weather reports offer a five-day forecast, although it doesn’t go into hourly detail. The speed camera database will be bang up-to-date as changes are checked and downloaded at regular intervals. This is augmented by user reports about mobile cameras, and there’s an optional onscreen button so you can contribute any camera locations you come across as well, although we wouldn’t recommend you do this when driving.

The QuickGPSfix uses the mobile data network to get a basic location, so the satellite lock will be faster. There are some LIVE services which other manufacturers offer – such as the flight info available from Garmin’s nuvi 1690 – that TomTom doesn’t. Fuel prices have also disappeared from the list, which is a shame as these could be quite handy for tracking down the cheapest petrol nearby. On the plus side, the price of TomTom’s LIVE services has reduced considerably. At launch, they cost £7.99 a month, with just a three-month trial included.

But you now get a whole year of usage out of the box, after which it’s £47.50 annually, which is well worth it if you commute a fair distance in rush hour. We’ve been using HD Traffic regularly for years now, and found it regularly saves us both time and stress. Otherwise, this is a standard TomTom device with all the company’s latest widgets. You can search for an address or point of interest (POI), with keyword options for both, but this is not integrated across both. It’s also possible to enter an address verbally, although the voice control system is a far cry from Garmin’s system as found in the nuvi 2460LT and nuvi 3790T.

The 825 calls upon TomTom’s IQ Routes when calculating, so takes into account historic traffic speeds for the given roads, depending on time of day and day of week. Its estimated arrival time should be much more accurate than sat-navs used to be a few years The main menu is the simplified one introduced with the GO LIVE 1000. The initial screen houses just six icons, rather than the confusing plethora of screens of previous devices. These then call up further menulayers. The Done button also takes you right back to the beginning rather than forcing you to wade back through your steps. The 825 also uses TomTom’s latest system which doesn’t calculate routes on the fly, but instead comes with all possible routes pre-calculated.
