The
ultimate automotive luxury necessity has been announced - the TomTom
GO 700. The GO 700 blows all the other GPS navigators
out of the water, from across the ocean and on American shores. It has a
giant hard drive that is pre-loaded with maps for all of the United
States and Canada, features a high-powered processor and internal
computer, and is the ultimate Bluetooth hands-free device. If you have a
Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone, the TomTom GO 700 serves as a hands-free
unit that allows you to make and accept calls, right in your car, with
the press of a screen or optional remote control. You can even call POIs
listed in TomTom's extensive TeleAtlas database. The Bluetooth
capability also allows you to share information from your Palm Pilot,
Pocket PC or other such device with your GO. The TomTom GO 700 is
high-speed, no-frills, and good-to-go right out of the box!
The new TomTom GO also features itinerary planning and advanced route
avoidance features, taking it to the top of the class in navigation
capability while retaining the sleek, dynamic design that the made the
old GOs famous. The GO 700 still has the award-winning 3D map views
and an improved POI database that's rumored to have a full six
million points-of-interest, making it the new market leader.
