looking at getting a TomTom XL LIVE IQR Sat Nav, i notice it has love services such as; traffic, weather petrol prices etc , i know the monthly subscription is £7.99 , but does it need to connect to a mobile phone to access these services? if not, how does it get the info? from the satellites?

Thank you

The TomTom LIVE units come with a preinstalled SIM card and connect to the mobile-phone network themselves. The £8 or so per month subscription for live services covers the cost of the Sat Nav itself connecting to the network to receive the info, as well as the info itself.

oh great , thought it would have to connect to my phone and use the web

*i meant live not love in my first post , although love services dont sound bad ...lol
