TomTom GO Range Redefines Navigation
TomTom has launched its new TomTom GO range in the United States and Canada and the re-designed Portable Navigation Device (PND), according to the company, “reinvents how drivers use navigation with its new map and traffic-centric interface.”
The new TomTom GO series comes with TomTom Traffic which pinpoints exactly where delays start and end, helping drivers to get to their destinations faster on a daily basis. Drivers can connect to TomTom Traffic via their Smartphone by simply downloading the free TomTom MyDrive mobile app. Consumers can access TomTom Traffic through their existing smartphone data plan.
Features available within the NEW TomTom GO range include:
Lifetime TomTom Traffic
TomTom Traffic covers 99.9% of all roads and uses crowd-sourced data from more than 150 million drivers in North America to deliver accurate traffic information, with precision as close as 30 feet, every two minutes.
Interactive Map
Drivers can easily access the travel information they need via a high-resolution touch screen. A brand new interactive map responds and scales to touch, which allows drivers to both pinch-and-zoom to find and explore places on the map with their fingertips and tap on the map to get an instant route to a destination.
3D Maps
Buildings and landmarks are brought to life in high quality 3D, so that drivers can see clearly and confirm exactly where they are.
Additional Features of the new TomTom GO:
- TomTom Traffic: TomTom drivers will be the first to know the fastest route available. The new TomTom GO device is ready to receive TomTom Traffic by connecting to the driver’s iPhone or Android smartphone* using the free TomTom MyDrive mobile app. It also comes with these innovative features:
- Jam Ahead Warning: The risk of accidents from sudden breaking when drivers approach the back of a slow-moving traffic jam is well recognized.
- Road Closure Detection: The automatic detection of road closures is now extended and includes major secondary roads as well as highways. This improves the accuracy of routing and helps road users save time and fuel from unexpected diversions.
- Road Works Detection: accurately detects road work on highways, enabling drivers to adapt their journeys to avoid delays or adjust their trip times.
- Lifetime Maps: Always drive with the latest map***. For the life of the product, drivers can download four or more full updates of the map onto the device, every year. Drivers receive all updates to the road network, addresses and Points of Interest.
- Speak & GO: Drivers can control the device with the sound of their voice.
- Route Bar: Essential traffic and travel information at a glance. The Route Bar shows precise traffic on the road ahead.
- Quick Search: Drivers can find their destination faster with intuitive search results. Quick Search starts finding destinations as soon as the driver starts typing.
- My Places: Drivers can see their favorite locations on the map and personalize their map with My Places. This makes it easier to find and navigate to favorite locations again and again.
