Including 1/3/6 month trial to LIVE Services
The new TomTom GO 950 Live calculates a route faster than
ever before and ensures drivers are ready to go within seconds. It uses the
world's largest collection of historical speed profiles. This ever-growing
database now includes over 800 billion historic speed measurements of 15 million
road kilometres in 24 European countries.
Once on the road, the device
is constantly checking if there is faster route, taking changing road conditions
into account by using a combination of IQ Routes technology and RDS-TMC
information.
Optimised user interface enhances
functionality
Full attention has been paid to the integration of
TomTom’s routing technologies into the user interface of the device. This makes
it more intuitive and easier to operate; giving drivers all the information they
need about their journey before they set off, at a glance. HD Traffic™, safety
alerts and fuel prices are all clearly displayed on the screen via the new LIVE
snapshot. Once on the road, drivers automatically receive real-time updates on
what’s ahead, so they remain informed throughout their journey.
On top of this, new menus including a frequent destinations menu have been added to calculate a route to a frequently visited destination easier and faster. Finally, an Eco Routes option has been added to the route options menu, so drivers can select the most fuel-efficient route to help reduce their impact on the environment.
The TomTom GO 950 LIVE comes with an Active Dock with integrated RDS-TMC Traffic
information. This means drivers always receive traffic information on
their journey; even when abroad, without the need to connect additional cables.
This allows them to plan their journeys better.
RDS-TMC traffic information
is currently available in: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,
Hungary, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland and the UK. RDS-TMC traffic information is also available in
selected regions in the US, Canada and Australia.
On top of this, new menus including a frequent destinations menu have been added to
calculate a route to a frequently visited destination easier and faster.
Finally, an Eco Routes option has been
added to the route options menu, so drivers can select the most fuel-efficient
route to help reduce their impact on the environment.
Enriched Points of Interests database
In selected European countries, the new TomTom GO 950 has
been enriched with third party Points of Interest (POI's) content, including
Yellow Pages in Denmark, Merian Scout in Germany and Guia Campsa in
Spain.
Increased map coverage
TomTom High Definition
Traffic™
According to recent research, 49% of Britons say that traffic
jams are the most frustrating and stressful part of their day*. The TomTom GO
950 LIVE models automatically connect to TomTom’s exclusive High Definition (HD)
Traffic service for the most accurate and detailed live traffic information,
which is updated every three minutes. If the measured traffic conditions differ
from the expected traffic flow, the TomTom GO 950 LIVE will automatically
calculate a better, alternative route if one is available. The expected time of
arrival will also be adjusted accordingly.
TomTom Safety Alerts with mobile camera data
from Road Angel™
With an average of £60 in camera fines received per
driver in the UK every year, accurate safety camera data is becoming more and
more vital. As well as a comprehensive fixed safety camera database, users will
have access to the most accurate mobile camera data, supplied in partnership
with Road Angel (UK only). In addition, the service will include real-time
safety camera reporting and sharing, meaning users can keep each other informed
about mobile safety cameras. Drivers will also receive warnings about unmanned
railway crossings, schools, places of worship, and other potential accident
blackspots.
TomTom Fuel Price Search
With 66%
of Britons concerned about the cost of fuel more than any other modern-day
issue, including the failing economy and knife crime*, TomTom has included one
of the most useful features for drivers today – a fuel price search to allow
users to locate up-to-date pricing information from 12,000 fuel stations across
the UK, and guide them to the cheapest fuel stations along their route or in
their local area. TomTom has calculated that high mileage drivers can save up to
£250 per year in fuel costs using this service**. As well as saving money with
the Fuel Price Search function, TomTom customers in the UK will also benefit
from a free fuel card included with each purchase*.
Local Search with Google
Google
Search gives TomTom users access to information and location details of more
than 11 million businesses and turns search results into a destination with the
press of a button. Results show the location name, a user-generated rating (if
available) and phone number, so drivers can call ahead to book a restaurant or
hotel of their choice, for example.
TomTom Weather
The TomTom GO 940
LIVE devices also provide five-day weather reports in the local area, or for the
chosen destination, allowing users to plan their journey according to road
conditions.
TomTom QuickGPSFix
Allows drivers
to begin their journey immediately, by locating satellite information – now
updated ‘live’, rather than via TomTom HOME.
TomTom Buddies
With Buddies,
drivers can link their TomTom device to those of their friends so they can
locate each other on the map, share favourite locations, as well as exchanging
and sharing location information and messages.
