This month we see TomTom launch a special edition of their navigational systems. The TomTom Top Gear edition has special features based around the popular television show. These include directions read by Jeremy Clarkson as well as a special ‘Stig Mode’ – which silences the device. Programmed into the device are also special points of interest based around motoring, such as raceway and racetrack locations which have been featured on the television series.
The device features the same technologies that are in the other devices offered by the manufacturer. This includes the traffic technology which will help drivers avoid traffic jams. The device also features special shutdown and start-up screens related to the TV series.
Corinne Vigreux is the managing director of the company and she has commented, “this is a limited edition satnav and it’s going to be a great driving companion for fans of the show.”
At £179.99, the TomTom GO LIVE Top Gear edition includes one year of TomTom’s LIVE Services for free. The flagship service is TomTom HD Traffic, which delivers dynamic routing and accurate traffic information every two minutes. HD Traffic gives drivers detailed incident reports, length of delays and reason for them, accurate travel and arrival times and alternative route proposals.
The LIVE Services bundle also includes the Speed Cameras service, providing mobile and fixed speed camera alerts, while TomTom Places local search helps to pinpoint shops and businesses in the area. QuickGPSfix gets you navigating in seconds and TomTom Weather gives local and five-day forecasts.
Available from today in Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, the UK and the US, this special edition also features richer, more detailed maps, hands-free calling (via Bluetooth®) plus voice command and control for entering addresses and more.
