Cons
Con Expensive yearly subscription
The GO LIVE 1535M has a recommended retail price of $199, including one year of the TomTom HD Traffic subscription service. After this period, a yearly subscription renewal costs $59.99. For comparison: a similar yearly TomTom service on smartphones only costs $19.99.
Con Clumsy category system for places of interest
The TomTom features a search function for Places of Interest (POI's), such as restaurants, entertainment venues and fuel stations. These locations are spread in different categories, but searching for them can be quite annoying due to a clumsy category system. For example, restaurants can all be found under one and the same category, which makes it tedious if you're looking for a specific type of restaurant.
Con Can create some GSM interference
Because the GO LIVE 1535M uses the cellular GSM network, some interference through the speakers of your car may occur, resulting in annoying static and buzz sounds.
