TomTom GO smart satnavs add Wi-Fi®, voice controls and route prediction

The Smartphone Connected TomTom GO 520 Wi-Fi and TomTom GO 620 Wi-Fi
The Always Connected TomTom GO 5200 Wi-Fi and TomTom GO 6200 Wi-Fi

The TomTom GO Wi-Fi devices run the same NavKit as the previous GO devices, but where they differ is that they are Wi-Fi Capable meaning that not only can the Software Updates, Voices and Speed Cameras be updated directly but you will also be able to update, download and install Maps directly on the device!

This includes SMS Text Messages, What’s App and Facebook Messenger, but also any other app on your Smartphone that gives Notifications. You can choose which apps you wish to receive Notifications from in the MyDrive App.

Comments
I would like to know if the display resolution is the same as the previous models?
Is the SIM-card 2G, 3G or 4G?
Also would be helpful for a live video of the unit in use so we could gauge the speed - a brighter screen, notifications, and a decent input speed would be enough for me to switch
Like I said, for me, speed and clarity of display would suffice - but would like to see a real time video rather than animation if possible MikkoK ?
Think the extra internal memory will help especially with the maps showing buildings as I suspect this is one of the barriers with regard to displayed POI on driving view.
Next fight errors and corrections.
How will spoil my Go 5000 then mention;)
Cheers, Mikko

What stopped working exactly?

Same suggestions to use minor roads instead of major roads when set to quickest route?
Limited POI support, and map updates without new roads or closed roads updatet?
WiFi-supports sounds good, and quad core may give you real-time instructions in roundabouts.

requiring people to have an internet connection that can handle 250 Mbit/sec download speeds might be a bit excessive, and I'm guessing you mean 30 Mb/s and not 30 MB/s
Example page:

Does the 5100 have wifi hardware? If so, could this feature be turned on with a software update?
No, Go 5100 hasn't wifi at all.
I think TT would anounce that feature for 5100 even for advertising. But even that. Note they are now announcing NEW wifi feature on 5200 with great fanfare.
I guess.
Thanks for the reply - have ordered one to try out and will post the results either way when it arrives to either encourage other users to get one, or not as the case may be! Lets hope it delivers on the speed promises at least :P
