TomTom Launches Navigation App for Parrot Devices
TomTom has introduced a new navigation app for Parrot customers, which is available to download from the Parrot ASTEROID market.
Drivers with the Parrot ASTEROID Tablet and Parrot ASTEROID Smart devices can now benefit from world-class TomTom navigation with clear voice instructions via their car stereo.
“TomTom is known for creating quality navigation solutions that are easy to use,” says Gerry Hinds, VP Mobile at TomTom. “Parrot customers can now experience the best navigation available direct via their ASTEROID Tablet and Smart devices. We have customized our Android Navigation app so that it integrates seamlessly with Parrot’s premium ASTEROID devices.”
The TomTom Navigation app is designed to make driving quicker, easier and stress-free on Parrot’s large, semi-fitted capacitive display. Unlike other apps, the TomTom app uses on-board maps, which are always accessible even without a network connection and incur no additional roaming charges when travelling abroad.
This app includes TomTom IQ Routes which gives drivers the fastest routes and the most accurate arrival times. With Advanced Lane Guidance, drivers can clearly see which lane to take at difficult junctions. Also, the app will read out street names via the direct connection to the car speakers, making navigation even simpler. Finally, the hands free calling capabilities make it the perfect travel companions for drivers who spend a lot of time on the road.
Pricing and Availability
The TomTom Navigation app for ASTEROID is available to buy now from the Parrot ASTEROID market, priced at $34.99 for U.S. maps, or $49.99 for U.S. and Canada.
The app is compatible with the Parrot ASTEROID Tablet and Parrot ASTEROID Smart.
