    This review is from: TomTom GO 950 LIVE Satellite Navigation System (Electronics) I bought this for my partner, who needed a hands-free unit. She already had an old TomTom XL but the voices no longer work and the map is pretty out of date. The unit paired with her Blackberry immediately. I tried to take advantage of the offer to get an updated map immediately but it spent 90 mins downloading then failed. So, no new map then. Read more
