TomTom Go now available!!
I am pleased to announce we have added TomTom Go to our range of in-car products, so now you'll know where you're going, where the speed cameras are and be able to jam the speed guns with our garage door openers!! 
TomTom has leveraged its expertise to make TomTom GO the easiest to install and the easiest to use navigation device ever. With TomTom GO there is no need for a set-up linked to a PC – in fact no technical knowledge is needed at all. It fits easily into the included car mounting kit, which is simply mounted on your car windshield or dashboard. It could not be easier to use: just turn it on and users can instantly access all the software, maps and colour 3D navigation views, as well as voice-guided instructions in a language of choice.
By using TomTom GO’s unique touch screen activation there is no hassle with multiple buttons or extra hardware when calculating your route. The touch screen is completely intuitive and your route can be planned with just a few taps on the screen. At the end of the journey, simply turn TomTom GO off with the click of one button then pop it in your bag. There has never been a faster or easier way to navigate your way to where you have to, or want to go.
TomTom GO features a built-in GPS receiver that provides unprecedented new levels of satellite navigation using the latest hardware and software available on the market. For the first time ever in such an affordable all-in-one navigation device, TomTom GO will feature Assisted Satellite Navigation. Assisted Satellite Navigation will provide virtually uninterrupted navigation in tunnels and urban canyons.
An increasing number of mobile people want more than just state of the art technology, design is just as important as functionality. With TomTom GO, TomTom has mirrored this trend and carefully crafted an ergonomically designed product that is compact, stylish and unobtrusive, whatever car you drive.
TomTom GO provides up to 5 hours of constant navigation, powered by its Lithium-ion battery. TomTom GO is the only all-in-one navigation system that can offer this level of battery operation, effectively eliminating the need for loose power cables.
TomTom GO features a 3.5” transflective display screen that gives clear visibility in any situation from direct sunlight to low light conditions. TomTom GO also features TomTom’s unique 3D and top down view that makes the navigation experience more true to life and interactive than many built-in car GPS systems. The intuitive interface is focused, extremely legible and omits extraneous details. TomTom GO’s enhanced, CD-quality speaker volume provides crystal clear sound that allows you to hear the voice instructions above the noise of the engine.
Tech spec
Maps + Software: On SD Card (128MB) - Great Britain; On CD-ROM: Great Britain, Major Roads of Europe

It doesn't say so on their site but you never know, they might have an in-store promotion or something. Or the morons have priced it up wrong!! It would be cheaper for me to buy them from them if £399 is the right price.
