I've been in OZb for sometime now and this is my first deal so apologies in advance if I make mistakes.

I was looking for a new GPS for my car and found this from Dick. Thanks to Olokun for posting the original coupon code (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/207971). Apparently, Dick has cut down the price of this by $40, but knowing their pricing fluctuations, I didn't trust that. According to staticice, the lowest I could find was $164 @HN so looks like a pretty good price (http://www.staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=tomtom+go+5…).

    Read the posting guidelines next times for starting etiquette and help on the description. Otherwise good work.

    Do provide the most relevant details but do not copy pages and pages of specifications from the link.

    This is cool.
    By the end of first year, this unit is already ahead of iPhone TomTom app.

    $59.99: TomTom Australia on iPhone
    $36.99: 1 year TomTom Traffic subscription
    $59.99 + $36.99 = $96.98
    This unit with lifetime traffic = $94.20

      Don't forget that "lifetime" is not actually YOUR lifetime, but the lifetime of the product, which usually about 3 yrs

      I have the FREE Route 66 android and iphone apps. By free I mean it's free for 1 month for full updates, map and speed camera downloads. After 1 month you lose only the NAVIGATION part of the app. You can continue to use it to manually view and plan your journey.

      OZBARGAIN MODE: Android app registered with email address. So if yoj can be bothered do this: after one month, delete the app, delete your email address on your android phone/tablet, register a new email or make a new one. Download the Route 66 app. And voila! Another 1 month of free updates, map downloads, and navigation.

    3 months TomTom Speed Cameras !! Really….

    “Only 3 Months”

    The one I have from last 3 years, still tells me about safety cameras.

    • haz on 21/08/2015 - 13:21

      Does the 3 months mean it only works for 3 months, or does it mean you only have 'updates' for 3 months, but continues to work with existing information?

    • enzioFirenze on 21/08/2015 - 13:24
      +2

      I think this is more like it's only updated for 3 months, or may be there are 3 monthly updates for speed camera information. I'm not sure but I have a friend who has one of these and he gets speed camera warnings even after 1.5yrs or so now.

      its only for updates although it will defeat the purpose if new cameras start popping up after 3 years

      Winner, TomTom

      Thanks OP, I have a TomTom but the free maps ran out a few weeks back. :)

        Well it's good if you already own the phone ;)

    • elusive on 21/08/2015 - 22:48

      The touch tech makes some difference but the screen res is unimportant since you aren't reading tiny text or trying to look at photos or videos. It's plenty for navigation.

    Don't know why people buy these anymore with smartphones the way they are.

    If you have phone data/reception, use Google Maps for free. Even has voice instructions, traffic and lane guidance now.

    If you going to be away from reception or no data, download the Sygic app/maps. It includes lane guidance and free updates for life. I got the World Maps on special for about $70 and have used it in Australia, US, Canada and Europe with perfect results.

      battery life and with phones you lose connection quite alot in some areas

      • Tcm9669 on 21/08/2015 - 14:01

        Agreed. Whilst sometimes I use my smartphone to navigate, they are not as quick, strong and reliable GPS as an actual GPS. Smartphones lags, they don't acquire as much as a strong signal and.. if you enter a dropout zone whilst driving (no 3g) .. well your out of luck. When I'm going long distance, my TomTom is my bestie!

        • try2bhelpful on 21/08/2015 - 14:14

          I also agree. We bought our unit back when we had the iPhone4 so our screen was too small to be effective. But it is nice to have a separate unit dedicated unit anyway, and the lifetime maps has been really good. Our old GPS is now out of date and only really useful for scrap.

        • Coley on 21/08/2015 - 17:57
          +2

          Don't know what sort of phone you guys have but I've never had any issues with my S5 or with my S4 before it. Screen is much clearer, lane graphics are faster, better updated POI's and never had a dropout unless I'm in a tunnel. Also you don't have to worry about having an old model or old software as the app is updated much more regularly.

          Are you talking about reception problems when you say drop out? With the Sygic app you don't need a data connection ever. I went to the US and had my phone without a SIM card, just used it for GPS while driving and wifi at hotels etc.

          Oh well, YMMV.

      • ashar on 21/08/2015 - 15:31

        Nokia HERE application is the best! doesnt even require data connection to be on! (its available on Android; not sure about iOS)

    • haz on 21/08/2015 - 13:59
      +1

      There are also HERE maps by Nokia, they are free, can work offline and available for many countries, available on iOS or Android.

      I agree with aerona's comment, a dedicated GPS is quite useful to have.

    • hetzjagd on 21/08/2015 - 17:21

      People don't want to be driving and relying on the GPS for directions only to be interupted by a phone call or sms or other phone notification (depending on how your phone is setup)

    • UFO on 21/08/2015 - 20:04

      Because unlike your smartphone, touching the Tom Tom/Garmin/any GPS unit will not cost you $375 and 3 points!

      "Temporarily"

    • Izzyhop on 21/08/2015 - 14:30

      I just got one from Sydney George St store. The link does say Temporarily out of Stock, but if you search for TomTom you can "collect from store" for the overall list.

  • EightImmortals on 21/08/2015 - 13:36

    Yup, it got Ozbargained…..

    I rang a couple of local stores and they still had them for $119, the extra 25% off was for online only, to if you add the 10 bux delivery then you'd be worse off about $10 if you can get one instore..if that makes sense.

  • Doy on 21/08/2015 - 13:59

    Still a huge fan of just getting a cheap Android phone and getting Nokia Here maps saved onto an SD card.

    • ITveteran on 21/08/2015 - 17:03

      This is true. Here is excellent and also with life time free update.

  • enzioFirenze on 21/08/2015 - 14:22

    gah that's a bummer, good thing I got one quick!

    Decent gps for $100 ?

  • cvaz on 21/08/2015 - 17:47

    I got one from Mount Barker SA.

    Just wanted one as I was sick of my phone chewing through its battery using Google Maps.

    It's not the best quality (the screen is pretty crappy) but for $95 you can't complain too much

  • enzioFirenze on 22/08/2015 - 18:21

    got mine today, it is more user friendly compared to their Via line and I think I like it, well at least for a $95 device, it exceeds my expectations so I'm happy with the purchase :)
