The last time we reviewed a GPS navigator, it was a Garmin Nuvi. The most famous navigation company is of course, TomTom. It's the largest manufacturer of GPS systems in Europe.
In addition to it's navigations devices and software, TomTom also has several services to which users can subscribe. More on this a little further down. The unique feature of the TomTom GO 700 is that it uses bluetooth to commnicate with a handsfree device. This is a new feature that also allows you to use the device itself as a handsfree component.
For example, if you get an incoming call, the TomTom GO 700 will display the call on its' screen. You can also use it to dial numbers and control your mobile...all without having to lay a finger on your mobile phone itself.
Another first for the TomTom GO 700, is the integration of a hard drive. Till now, GPS navigation systems have always relied on SD cards for the storage of maps. Now, with a built in hard drive, you don't need to fiddle around with SD cards. Some people may find this less convenient, but I feel that most users will appreciate it. In addition, all the maps of North America come pre loaded onto the hard drive
The screen has been improved too. Though nowhere close to the colors that can be displayed on a laptopp or even a PDA, it can now display 4,096 colors instead of the usual 256 colors that it used to display. It no longer has the clunky visuals that make you think of a child's drawing.
Integrated with the TomTom GO 700, is the ability to subscribe to all the TomTom services. So if you want live traffic updates, or the ability to spot speed cameras in advance, you can pay a monthly subscription fee of $4.99 a month, or $49.99 a year.
"Map Share" is another service that allows you to share your modified maps with other users. For example, if you find that a road is blocked, you can input it onto the screen, and those who have allowed your updates to reach them will be kept informed of the change, and their GPS systems will change their routing behavior accordingly.
