Cannes, France, 5 June 2007. TomTom, the
world’s largest portable navigation solutions provider, today reveals its new
TomTom GO range – the TomTom GO 720 and TomTom GO 520. Ground breaking new
technology allowing for daily map improvements and a host of new features, such
as speech recognition, have been combined into one compact and stylish design,
providing drivers with the ultimate driving experience.
“The new
TomTom GO range sets the standard in smart car navigation,” says Harold Goddijn,
TomTom’s chief executive officer. “With this introduction, we are making unique
new features and technologies available to our users by delivering the highest
performing, most cutting-edge satellite navigation solutions available on the
market today. Our unique Tom Tom Map Share™ technology uses the power of our
large installed user base for the benefit of all our users.”

Sleek Design
The new
TomTom GO 720 features a new elegant slim design with high quality finish,
making it fit perfectly in any car or shirt pocket. The large 4.3 inch touch
screen has TomTom’s renowned easy-to-use and intuitive user interface with 3D
graphics including building footprints that ensures drivers have an even better
overview of their surroundings.
Unique TomTom Map Share™
Technology
The TomTom GO 720 also sees the introduction of
TomTom’s unique new map improvement technology, TomTom Map Share™. This
technology enables drivers to easily and instantly improve their own maps. It
also lets users share improvements and benefit from all other users’
improvements, daily, automatically and easily via Tom Tom HOME – TomTom’s free
software application. TomTom has the world’s largest satellite navigation
community with over 10 million users. TomTom Map Share™ users can contribute and
exchange all their improvements amongst each other, making the best maps
available for all of them. Tom Tom Map Share™ means TomTom drivers can always
have the most up-to-date maps and inside local knowledge at their fingertips
(see separate press release for more information on TomTom Map
Share™).

Best Speech Recognition
(*)
Other new and updated features include speech recognition (*),
meaning users have an extra option to select the address they want to drive to.
Users can choose to select the speech recognition button and then simply speak
out the city and street name they would like to travel to.
Enhanced Hands-free
Kit
The enhanced hands-free kit features a new high quality sound
system offering users the best hands-free calling experience via Bluetooth®.
With optimised acoustic design, enhanced noise reduction, echo cancellation and
an automatic answer function, the TomTom GO 720 and TomTom GO 520 ensure drivers
can make and receive calls easier than ever whilst keeping their eyes focussed
on the road.
New Safety
Features
Safety is a key priority in the development of all TomTom
products. The new TomTom GO 720 comes with uniquely designed safety features so
drivers always have direct access to extensive safety and roadside assistance
information wherever they go. The extensive ‘Help Me!’ menu includes information
such as the way to the nearest hospital, car maintenance information and first
aid instructions. Another new safety feature is the short-cut menu, which
enables drivers to jump straight to their favourite, most accessed information
with just one touch on the screen for even easier and safer navigation
Help
Me
The new safety options
include a ‘help me’ button in the menu. Users can use this button to access
links to useful locations, phone numbers, car maintenance information and other
information (including medical info), and get assistance with a large number of
different problems. The ‘help me’ button provides direct access to the most
relevant car assistance services of a certain country. TomTom has made
cooperation deals with a lot of services for this, such as: The British AA, the
Irish AA, the Dutch ANWB, the Italian ACI, the Luxembourg ACL, the Portuguese
ACP, the French ACTA, the German ADAC, the Finnish Al, the Danish FDM, the
Swedish Motormännen, the Norwegian NAF, the Austrian ÖMATC, the Spanish RACE,
the Polish Starter, the Belgian SOS Touring, the Swiss TCS and the Czech
UAMK.
The TomTom GO 520 and 720 both contain a complete database of
important locations and phone numbers, like the numbers of emergency services,
but also information on the nearest car dealer, pharmacy or police station which
are all displayed very intuitively. The user can dial the phone number which is
displayed on the screen, while the TomTom system pinpoints where the user is,
both on the map, and in text, and even with satellite coordinates, precise up to
one metre. In the mean time, or instead, the user can plan his route to the
nearest location. This can be by a car or a pedestrian route. Thanks to the
seamless software integration and TomTom’s handsfree functionality, the system
also offers the possibility of directly dialling the number of a car assistance
service via a handsfree connection to a mobile phone with Bluetooth
connection.
Traffic Ready
(**)
The new TomTom GO 720 offers the latest and most up-to-date
traffic information through its compatibility with RDS-TMC Traffic and TomTom’s
Traffic subscription, making drivers’ journeys more efficient and stress-free.
The enhanced traffic information user interface provides drivers with the most
accurate route calculation by taking into account the current traffic
information on the road and giving precise information about traffic incidents.
Audio Options &
Built-in FM Transmitter
The new TomTom GO 720 comes with extensive
audio options for flawless integration with the car stereo and user’s phone.
Drivers can play their favourite songs through the integrated MP3 player or by
connecting their iPod to the TomTom GO 720. In addition, music and navigation
instructions can be played seamlessly through the car stereo via the built-in FM
Transmitter.
Smart and Fun
Extras
With the new Tom Tom GO 720, drivers can choose from a host
of smart extras, making sure the destination is reached in a relaxed and
enjoyable way. A number of personalisation options, such as recording your own
driving instructions, have been added for the first time so users can easily
record their own voice, or be guided to their destination by the voices of their
children, family or friends. Drivers can also view documents and pictures and
exchange positions, destinations and other content with other TomTom GO users,
through Bluetooth® wireless technology.
To compliment the new GO
range, TomTom will bring to market a full range of accessories which have been
designed specifically to match the design and finish of the new GO range. The
range includes a leather carry case, a soft touch carry case, a remote control
and a home charger.
