Assuming you want a concise product-style piece (overview + key specs, pros/cons, who it's for, and buying tips) about the New TomTom Rider 600:
Connectivity: Requires a smartphone hotspot for live traffic data. TomTom Go 600 review - CNET
I have spent the last three weeks testing the 600 on everything from highway slogs to twisty Alpine passes. Here is everything you need to know.
- Live Traffic & Speed Cameras: Unlike standalone GPS units of the past that required USB updates, the Rider 600 uses your phone's data connection for real-time traffic jams and mobile speed traps.
- Message & Call Handling: Notifications appear discreetly on the left side of the screen. You cannot read a novel, but you can see who is calling or that your passenger sent a "Need gas" message.
- Route Sharing: Plan a route on your couch using the large phone app, then tap "Send to Device." It arrives on the Rider 600 in seconds via the cloud.
