Manufacturer's Description
Nowadays, people are constantly on the move. In an increasingly mobile world, people rely more and more on personal navigation products as a vital tool to facilitate mobility. With illuminated maps and voice-guidance systems, personal navigation products are a natural transition to paperless navigation. Getting directions has never been so stress-free. GPS (Global Positioning Systems) navigation systems give you spot-on navigation, wherever you are and are as easy to use as a mobile phone. And if you need to re-route your journey - to avoid congestion, road works or traffic accidents - GPS navigation systems can do this for you automatically.
Easy to Install and Use:;TomTom has leveraged its expertise to make TomTom GO the easiest to install and the easiest to use navigation device ever. With TomTom GO there is no need for a set-up linked to a PC - in fact no technical knowledge is needed at all. It fits easily into the included car mounting kit, which is simply mounted on your car windshield or dashboard. It could not be easier to use: just turn it on and users can instantly access all the software, maps and colour 3D navigation views, as well as voice-guided instructions in a choice of languages.
By using TomTom GO's unique touch screen activation there is no hassle with multiple buttons or extra hardware when calculating your route. The touch screen is completely intuitive and your route can be planned with just a few taps on the screen.
At the end of the journey, simply turn TomTom GO off with the click of one button then pop it in your bag. There has never been a faster or easier way to navigate your way to where you have to, or want to go.
Uninterruped Navigation:;TomTom GO features a built-in GPS receiver that provides unprecedented new levels of satellite navigation using the latest hardware and software available on the market. For the first time ever in such an affordable all-on-one navigation device, TomTom GO will feature Assisted Satellite Navigation. Assisted Satellite Navigation will provide virtually uninterrupted navigation in tunnels and urban canyons.
Sleek Design:;An increasing number of mobile people want more than just state of the art technology, design is just as important as functionality. With TomTom GO, TomTom has mirrored this trend and carefully crafted an ergonomically designed product that is compact, stylish and unobtrusive, whatever car you drive.
New Wave of Personal Navigation:;TomTom GO provides up to 5 hours of constant navigation, powered by its Lithium-ion battery. TomTom GO is the only all-in-one navigation system that can offer this level of battery operation, effectively eliminating the need for loose power cables.;TomTom GO features a 3.5" transflective display screen that gives clear visibility in any situation from direct sunlight to low light conditions. TomTom GO also features TomTom's unique 3D and top down view that makes the navigation experience more true to life and interactively than many built-in car GPS systems. The intuitive interface is focused, extremely legible and omits extraneous details.;TomTom GO's enhanced, CD-quality speaker volume provides crystal clear sound that allows you to hear the voice instructions above the noise of the engine.
