Because of this, I would constantly have to look where my finger was touching on the screen to make sure I didn’t press the wrong thing, which in turn would take my eyes off the road. Since the TomTom GO Comfort has a resistive touchscreen, you won’t be able to swipe through the interface like you can on a smartphone (which uses a capacitive touchscreen). You can also rearrange the menu options by pressing the pencil icon. There are arrows on the left and right side of the screen to get to more menu options such as My Places, My Routes, Record Route, Parking Lot, Gas Station, Report Safety Camera and Settings. The main screen has icons to features like Search, Add Home, Recent Destination and your Current Route. The TomTom GO Comfort’s interface is fairly easy to navigate with large icons for each of the main functions.

There is a built-in battery which TomTom says can get you up to 1 hour, but I was able to use the GPS on battery for a few hours. In the box, you also get a microUSB cable and a car charger but if your vehicle has a USB port, you can just plug the GO Comfort into that. The 5-inch model is now available for $229.99 and the 6-inch model is $259.99.

The back of the device has a speaker grill and a microUSB port and even with the speaker on the back of the device, TomTom GO Comfort can get fairly loud which is helpful for hearing turn-by-turn navigation. Having the GPS mounted on the windshield made it easy to look at directions while driving since it was within eyesight and also within arm’s reach. There is also a small black disk that is included to mount the device on your dashboard, however I could not get that to stick on the dashboard of a 2014 Toyota Corolla or a 2019 Subaru Forester, probably because of the materials the dashboards were made of. Installing the TomTom GO Comfort on the windshield with the suction cup was fairly easy and it stayed in place well. The back of the device has a reversible mount with a suction cup, so you can place the GPS on your dashboard or on the windshield. The TomTom GO Comfort has a 5-inch resistive touchscreen (there is also an option for a 6-inch model) with a rounded corner design and a plastic build. With that being said, we were curious to see how GPS devices have evolved over the past few years so we recently tested out the TomTom GO Comfort.

Paired with the TomTom smartphone app, routes on the GPS device can be planned and ready to go from the comfort of your home the night before or morning of, for a seamless start once you get into the car.

Newer models are Wi-Fi enabled and can be updated/maps downloaded quickly and easily. You can literally use a TomTom GPS device anywhere in the world where there is a GPS signal without having to worry about roaming charges, so great for those who travel. (Using voice controls or speakerphone while you drive, playing your favourite music & more)

A dedicated device for GPS means not having to worry about smartphone battery life and trying to double your phone as a navigation device.

While many of us are using a Maps app on our smartphones these days, there is still a compelling argument to be made to use a dedicated GPS device such as the new GO Comfort device from TomTom.
