The new GO LIVE Camper & Caravan Sat Nav from TomTom
Sat Nav manufacturer TomTom have announced details of a new product aimed specifically at caravan and motorhome owners.
The “GO LIVE Camper & Caravan” has been designed to help caravan and motorhome owners avoid low bridges or narrow roads in an effort to provide a more stress free route to the campsite. But what’s really clever is that you can setup a number of different profiles with specific size, weight and speed restrictions – so switching between using the device when towing, in a motorhome or in a normal car is quick and simple.
It also highlights points of interest relevant to caravan and motorhome owners, such as campsites and services.
After seeing motorhome roof damage rise in recent years we launched a Free Height Reminder Sticker which helped claims drop by 43%, and this new device can only help the number of accidents to drop even further.
The GO LIVE Camper & Caravan Sat Nav comes equipped with maps for 45 European countries and will have an RRP of £349.99. TomTom have not yet announced when the device will go on sale.

As I already own a Tom Tom will I be able to purchase an application to load onto my Tom Tom without the need to buy a new Tom Tom device
As usual TomTom come to the party late there are others already in the market. Of course there’s the usual premium around an extra £150 to £200 on the price of the average TomTom device! Stinks really, what we want is a way to include the right kind of information into existing devices either TomTom or any other. Someone able to do this would make an absolute fortune, as opposed to the presumed fortune TomTom are going to make of course! Be interesting to see exactly what they do come out with and compare it to the one’s about at the moment, sadly all manufacturers place a premium price on these specialist one’s, they must presume we are all very wealthy!
Will i be able to upgrade my Tom Tom go live 550 or will
i have to buy a new one
£350 is to much. I wonder if I will be able to just download the software to my existing Tom Tom from the website at say £40. Just a thought
far too expensive, for limited extra benefit of being caravan/motorhome specific. when you can buy tom tom sat navs from £99 and most smartphones have satnavs built in
mention caravan or any other camping activity !!!!!!!!!!!
let’s think of a number, double it and add the age of old father time – that seems like a good price.
my point being, a sat-nav can be purchased now for £60 or less and it will get you “there”. OK it will not tell you to avoid SUTTON BANK but us camper type’s all know it’s there and to be avoided.£350 ,although i thought of this concept years ago i think it is as usual over priced
Great news about tom-tom sat nav for caravans etc. Nice to see some more competition in the sat nav market place.
Great idea, but seams a bit steep at an RRP of £349.99!!
they should have unsuitable ” roads ” in their data NOW
I have used a 720 sat nav for many years at home and abroad in a motor home, the only fault was it did not recognise narrow roads or low bridges, only once did I have to turn round because of a low bridge,I would like to have the use of a system that gave the information about narrow roads, will the tecnology be available for my sat nav
Good to see TomTom come up with something most motor home owners would like to have I can only hope this product is better then the rest of the range of TomTom products which appear to be dogged by trouble once new maps are loaded onto them
I have a snooper ventura lite 6000 this is especially for caravaners and has camping sites etc on it.I have used it for miles and miles and has never got me into any trouble unlike the Tom Tom i give to my son.
I have received notification that the maps can be purchased for my GoLive 1000 (and other releative new models), however when I went to the website it is ‘not yet’. Presumably ‘coming soon’ (although that phrase often doesn’t mean much to TomTom – they used it a lot for my model when I bought it and to wait nearly a year for a lot of the functionality advertised) but how much. Personally I am interested at a sensible price, but would like to read a review on how i works.
