TomTom Introduces New High-End TomTom GO 920 Range in North America
o Premium TomTom GO 920 Range comes complete with most extensive maps of Europe and North America, and comes complete with Voice Prompted Address Entry and Enhanced Positioning Technology
CONCORD, Mass., Aug. 30 -- TomTom, the world's largest portable navigation solutions provider, today revealed its new high-end flagship models, the TomTom GO 920 and TomTom GO 920T. The devices come preinstalled with complete maps of the United States, Canada and Europe* on the 4 GB of internal memory. The range includes the new Enhanced Positioning Technology for a more continuous navigation experience and comes complete with voice prompted address entry. The GO 920 is compatible with an RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver** to receive up-to-date traffic information. The GO 920T includes the RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver in the box and a one year traffic subscription.
"The new flagship TomTom GO 920 range offers the best in satellite navigation," said Jocelyn Vigreux, President of TomTom Inc. "Pre-installed maps of multiple continents and innovative technologies such as voice prompted address entry, the new Enhanced Positioning Technology, TomTom Map Share(TM) and plug & play traffic information, offer outstanding quality and performance. The TomTom GO 920 range is the most advanced navigation solution on the market today."
Most complete set of maps
The new TomTom GO 920 range offers the most-up-to-date maps of the United States and Canada and a seamless map of 41 countries in both Western and Central Europe preinstalled on the 4 GB internal memory of the device. This makes the TomTom GO 920 the personal navigation device with the most complete set of pre-installed maps available in TomTom's entire portfolio.
Traffic
The TomTom GO 920 range allows users to receive up-to-date traffic information via the RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver or through TomTom's own subscription-based traffic service. The RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver and a one year subscription is included in the box in the GO 920T model. The traffic receiver is sold as a separate accessory for the GO 920 model.
Voice Prompted Address Entry
Voice prompted address entry gives users the option to speak the address to which they want to drive. Users can simply speak the city, street name and address number they would like to travel to, and the device will automatically calculate the route.
Best navigation with TomTom Map Share(TM) and Enhanced Positioning Technology
The TomTom GO 920 range comes with the latest version of TomTom's award- winning software, and includes TomTom Map Share(TM) technology. TomTom Map Share(TM) enables users to make easy changes to the map and to share map corrections with other TomTom customers so that users always have the most up- to-date maps available.
TomTom's new Enhanced Positioning Technology uses movement and gravity sensors to calculate drivers' positions when GPS signals are unavailable. TomTom GO 920 range users will have a much more continuous navigation experience as the Enhanced Positioning Technology ensures the device continues to navigate to its destination, even in circumstances where there may not be a direct line-of-sight connection to a satellite (for example, when driving in a city with tall buildings, underpasses or bridges).
Remote control
The TomTom GO 920 range comes with an improved Bluetooth(TM) remote control. The remote control enables drivers to operate the device safely from anywhere in the car without having to reach over to the device.
