TomTom today reveals its new TomTom GO range – the TomTom GO 720 and TomTom GO 520. Ground breaking new technology allowing for daily map improvements and a host of new features, such as speech recognition, have been combined into one compact and stylish design, providing drivers with the ultimate driving experience.
Sleek Design
The new TomTom GO range features a new elegant slim design with high quality finish, making it fit perfectly in any car or shirt pocket. The large 4.3 inch touch screen has TomTom’s renowned easy-to-use and intuitive user interface with 3D graphics including building footprints that ensures drivers have an even better overview of their surroundings.
TomTom Map Share Technology
The TomTom GO range also sees the introduction of TomTom’s unique new map improvement technology, TomTom Map Share. This technology enables drivers to easily and instantly improve their own maps. It also lets users share improvements and benefit from all other users’ improvements, daily, automatically and easily via TomTom HOME – TomTom’s free software application. TomTom Map Share users can contribute and exchange all their improvements amongst each other, making the best maps available for all of them.
TomTom Go - Best Speech Recognition
Other new and updated features include speech recognition, meaning users have an extra option to select the address they want to drive to. Users can choose to select the speech recognition button and then simply speak out the city and street name they would like to travel to.
TomTom Go - Enhanced Hands-free Kit
The enhanced hands-free kit features a new high quality sound system offering users the best hands-free calling experience via Bluetooth. With optimised acoustic design, enhanced noise reduction, echo cancellation and an automatic answer function, the TomTom GO 720 and TomTom GO 520 ensure drivers can make and receive calls easier than ever whilst keeping their eyes focussed on the road.
TomTom Go is also Traffic Ready
The new TomTom GO range offers the latest and most up-to-date traffic information through its compatibility with RDS-TMC Traffic and TomTom’s Traffic subscription. The enhanced traffic information user interface provides drivers with the most accurate route calculation by taking into account the current traffic information on the road and giving precise information about traffic incidents.
TomTom Go - Built-in FM Transmitter
The new TomTom GO range comes with extensive audio options for flawless integration with the car stereo and user’s phone. Drivers can play their favourite songs through the integrated MP3 player or by connecting their iPod to the TomTom GO. In addition, music and navigation instructions can be played seamlessly through the car stereo via the built-in FM Transmitter.
TomTom Go - Smart and Fun Extras
With the new TomTom GO, drivers can choose from a host of smart extras, making sure the destination is reached in a relaxed and enjoyable way. A number of personalisation options, such as recording your own driving instructions, have been added for the first time so users can easily record their own voice, or be guided to their destination by the voices of their children, family or friends. Drivers can also view documents and pictures and exchange positions, destinations and other content with other TomTom GO users, through Bluetooth.
The new TomTom GO range comes with TomTom HOME. TomTom’s free software application for PC/MAC, TomTom HOME is the essential tool to keep the TomTom up to date at all times.
