Using the latest Tele Atlas data, Palmtop Software has taken its TomTom Navigator package to new levels of functionality, in the car or in the hand.
When Palmtop Software launched the TomTom Navigator package for hand-held computers in mid-2002 it was an immediate success and sold in tens of thousands. Now TomTom Navigator 2 is taking several steps further ahead.
TomTom Navigator 2 transforms a pocket PC into an easy-to-use personal navigation system. Route planning, map reading and finding a way around difficult traffic conditions are all taken care of.
The latest Tele Atlas mapping data carries a wealth of detail, enabling TomTom to improve the ease of use, with even greater functionality. Despite containing more information, these latest maps do not take up extra memory, thanks to the latest memory-saving techniques.
New features in TomTom Navigator 2, include:
— Navigating from door-to-door using house-number ranges or postcode precision
— Instant route re-planning around any unexpected obstacles encountered on the journey, such as road works or traffic congestion
— Compatibility with the address book in Pocket Outlook to allow route planning directly from the contact database
TomTom Navigator 2 will be available across Europe early in April 2003. Current users will have access to an upgrade.
