We have been asked by the team at TomTom to find 100 UK MNers to try TomTom GO 5000.

We're looking for Mumsnetters who are regular drivers.

TomTom says: "We all know that traffic jams can take seconds to build up and then last for hours. There is nothing more frustrating than sitting in a jam or in slow moving traffic and not knowing how long you will be there. Especially, when your time is tight and you have children to pick up or drop off.

TomTom satnavs know the precise traffic situation on most UK roads at all times, in real time. The satnav you’ll be given to test is a “live device,” this means it is constantly searching every possible route option to find you the fastest route available. So, if the traffic situation suddenly gets bad on your “normal” route, it will automatically search other options to find a new, faster route and give you a new arrive time."

If selected, you'll be sent the TomTom GO 5000 to try for a few weeks and so long as you add feedback as required you will be able to keep the product.

If selected, you will be sent the TomTom GO 5000 at the end of September, and asked to try it for two weeks. You will then need to try it and add feedback to a thread on Mumsnet. At the end of the testing period, we’d also like you to post a review on the Mumsnet review pages and fill in a short survey. In order to keep the product, you would need to add your feedback by the 26th of October, so please only apply if you are able to do this.

Please also note that TomTom may use your anonymous feedback comments on their website and social media channels, as well as elsewhere.

If you'd like to take part, please add your details here: www.surveymonkey.com/s/RKBRB3K

We will be in touch with selected MNers ASAP.

Thanks and good luck!

Nothing here either, although I continue to refresh every 30 seconds half hour Smile

gobbymare · 25/09/2014 14:57

How do they let people know ?

titchypumpkin · 25/09/2014 14:58

glad i'm not the only one really excited about this! though I applied quite late so I don't fancy my chances :-(

RhinosAreFatUnicorns · 25/09/2014 18:23

Keeping fingers crossed here!

MimsyBorogroves · 25/09/2014 18:26

gobbymare - usually if you get the product test, the first you hear about it is an email from MN.

If you aren't picked to test, you hear nothing.

Katz · 25/09/2014 18:38

I'm really hoping for this one firstly we do need a sat nav and secondly they need 100 testers. Got to be good odds. Fingers firmly crossed.

BiscuitsAreMyDownfall · 25/09/2014 18:48

secondly they need 100 testers. Got to be good odds

That's what Im thinking, but Im not convinced I'll get in. Really hope so though.
