The Amsterdam company’s newest model, theTomTom Go Live 1535Mis looking to harness some Internet power in order to keep your friends in the know while providing you with more information. You’ll get apps like Google Local Search, Yelp, TripAdvisor and more so that you can find on-the-fly information about your destination.
