Dutch satellite navigation specialist TomTom today said it will ship an updated TomTom Go range of in-car route-planning devices on 1 April. No fooling, the new 510, 710 and 910 models will feature a "world first" 4in screen, "greatly improved" GPS performance and a new computer dock.



The new Gos will sport a new design centred on that 4in widescreen display, which TomTom claimed will make the line-up even easier to use. The Home dock connects the devices to a computer and the company's new TomTom Home software, a kind of iTunes for GPS devices, allowing the user to download and copy over maps, point-of-interest databases and, indeed, music, since the new machines will operate as MP3 players.

TomTom said the 510, 710 and 910 will include pre-loaded safety camera database. Like previous models, the new range incorporates Bluetooth to allow each unit to be paired to a mobile phone and used as a speakerphone. TomTom said it had improved this feature, along with the Go's GPS reception and speed.

Again, the devices will be differentiated in part by the maps they ship with - the top-of-the-range 910, for example, will bundle maps covering the whole of Europe, the USA and Canada - another first for the product category, TomTom claimed.

TomTom did not provide pricing details, saying only that all will be revealed "soon" - undoubtedly at CeBIT next week. ®

ill need a new one soon. my navman is fooooooooooking shit.

i did 44 miles out of a 75 miles journey the other day before it even found the satellites

morto

i have the acer n35 with tomtom on and have asked the question ..why does it take anything from 10 mins to an hour for tomtom to find the sats once it has found them its fantastic but shouldent it be instant? steve off here has a sony incar sat nav and that finds the sats as soon as you put it on, i no its not just mine as to of my friends have them and thers do the same..
any ideas ?

the system did come with destinator on it but was told thats not as good as tomtom, as it wont accept full postcodes

thanks
