Features

Overview: The TomTom GO 52 is a portable navigation device with a 5" capacitive-touch screen. It contains preloaded maps of the United States, Canada, and Mexico on its built-in 16 GB memory. The GO 52 can connect to your smartphone via Bluetooth and receive real-time traffic, and lifetime map updates. It can also connect via Wi-Fi to receive map and software updates without a computer. The GO 52 has advanced navigation features such as 3D maps, advanced lane guidance, and voice control.

Easy Reversible Mount: The GO 52 comes with the Easy Reversible mount which includes an integrated suction cup for installing the unit in your vehicle. You can mount the unit on the windshield (using the suction cup), or flip it over and mount it on the dash (using the supplied adhesive disk). The Easy Reversible Mount can be mounted in either direction on the back of the unit to accommodate a dash or windshield mount. The suction cup is on a ball-and-socket swivel to let you aim the screen for best visibility.

Lifetime Map Updates: With the Lifetime Map Updates subscription, you can download up to four map data updates per year from the TomTom website. These map updates apply to maps of the USA, Canada, and Mexico. If a newer map update is available when you purchase the unit, you can download one complimentary update within 30 days from the time of first use. You must first register your device and create a TomTom account.

5" Capacitive-touch LCD: The GO 52 features a large 5" widescreen capacitive-touch LCD screen with a resolution of 480 x 272 pixels. The screen responds similarly to today's smartphones and tablets, allowing you to pinch to zoom in or out, and swipe to move map around.

Rechargeable Battery: The unit has an internal Lithium-ion battery. A fully charged battery offers approximately 1 hour of autonomous operation when not plugged into the vehicle's power source. The GO 52 comes with a car charger and a 5' USB power cord. The power cord can be removed and the car charger's USB port can be used to power other electronic devices (Output is 5V DC/1.2A).

TomTom MyDrive: TomTom MyDrive is a smartphone app that works with your GO 52 to give you the most up-to-date information about traffic along your route. Not only do you receive up-to-the-minute traffic reports as you travel, you can check the traffic along your route. This lets you plan ahead of time which route you're going to take. MyDrive lets you set your destination on your smartphone or tablet, and send it to your GO 52 before you get in the car. You can save your favorite destinations and access them by tapping them on the map. As you drive, you can enjoy hand-free calling, access to Siri or other voice assistants, or listening to your text messages through the device. TomTom MyDrive is compatible with iPhone/iPad running iOS 8.0 or later, and with Android devices with OS 3.0 and up.

Voice Control: TomTom's Voice Control technology lets you speak commands and destination addresses instead of selecting items on the screen. This lets you keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. You will need to set up a "wake-up" phrase to start Voice Control, then speak the commands you want the GO 52 to perform. You can use Voice Control for navigation and routing, and to change settings on the device. In many cases, the GO 52 will recognize different words that all mean the same thing, such as "OK," "Correct," or "Right" instead of "Yes."

Routing Technology: The GO 52 calculates your routes based on the real average speed measured on roads rather than the posted speed limits. Intelligent routing takes into account the time of day you're traveling a road, and how rush hour traffic, pedestrian traffic, and traffic light changes can affect actual traffic speed. You will get a more accurate ETA and the fastest recommended route based on real world data.

Advanced Lane Guidance: When navigating difficult intersections, the GO 52 uses realistic images and arrows to indicate which lane to take to best negotiate the turns.

Points Of Interest: The GO 52 gives you access to millions of pre-loaded Points of Interest (POIs) including gas stations, parking, restaurants, cash machines, and lots more. The POIs are indicated by icons, and in some cases, logos of the business. You can select which POI categories you want to display.

Favorite Locations: The Favorite menu allows you to store into memory those locations that you visit frequently. You can choose a favorite location the same way you choose a destination. The following menu options are available; Home, Address, Recent Destination, Point Of Interest, Point On Map, GPS Position (allows you to store your current location quickly), latitude and longitude, and the location where your TomTom was last used.
