In brief

TomTom and Renault announce a strategic partnership

TomTom and Renault have formed a special partnership to offer the French car manufacturer’s customers fully integrated navigation solutions on several new models. The consumer market for car navigation has seen huge growth in the last four years, and navigation devices continue to be a “must-have” for consumers. TomTom and Renault are set to lead the way in bringing in-car navigation to the mass market with their built-in GPS systems. The first such application is set to be on the market in the first half of 2009.

TomTom GO x40 LIVE: the new standard in GPS technology

The TomTom GO x40 LIVE is a live dynamic satellite navigation device that automatically adapts to any changes in driving conditions to ensure users are always given the shortest possible route to their destination. The new version of TomTom IQ Routes™ technology is now based on actual travel time data for every road, every day of the week and to the nearest 5 minutes. The TomTom GO x40 LIVE is fully plug & play, and comes with several handy information services for all road users, such as TomTom HD Traffic™, TomTom Safety Alerts, TomTom Fuel-Price Search and Google Local Search.

TomTom launches its online route planner

A route planner is an essential tool for anyone looking to plan their journey in detail before they hit the road. TomTom’s route planner uses real-time and previous traffic information from its HD Traffic™ service (information updated in real-time and at regular intervals) and IQ Routes™ service (average speed in relation to the time and date of the journey from several hundred thousand measurements). It is therefore possible to offer users door-to-door route planning to any address, taking into account real-time and historic information on traffic flows at the planned time of travel. This helps you avoid the school run or steer clear of that nightmare junction in the evening rush hour. The TomTom online route planner also has the advantage of being corrected by users themselves via the Map Share™ service. These modifications are regularly incorporated into the maps to ensure they always stay up to date.
