TomTom has unveiled a new GPS device today that is aimed at the lower end of the market. The device is called the XL 335S and it will sell for $239.95. Many of TomTom’s offerings sell for much more than that amount.

Despite its entry-level price the navigation device has a slew of features that you expect from TomTom. Things like IQ routes that use real speed measurements to plan the fastest routes on the maps. MapShare is also features allowing users to update the maps as they need to.

One of the big improvements of the iPhone 3G and 3GS compared to the original iPhone was the inclusion of GPS allowing for navigation capabilities in the device. The problem is that the iPhone GPS receiver is prone to having issues at times if you are near large trees or tall buildings.

TomTom has announced that its Car Kit for iPhone is now available for users to purchase in Europe. The kit includes a secure mount dock that charges and holds the iPhone while it works as a PND. The dock allows the iPhone to be in portrait or landscape mode.

GPS units have evolved from devices that were mostly of help on long road trips to items that commuters can use on the route that they drive each day as a way to get out of traffic. TomTom announced a new GPS device today with connected services via AT&T.

The device is called the TomTom XL 340S Live and has AT&T 3G connectivity built-in. The AT&T connectivity allows the GPS unit to perform local search for gas stations, restaurants and more. Connectivity also allows the GPS device to get real-time traffic info.

Have you been desperately desiring the TomTom Go 740 LIVE, but can’t get one because it hasn’t been available in the US? Well, today is your lucky day. The company just announced that the device is available stateside. Feel free to bask in the Internet-connected GPS experience.

You’ll be able to get traffic and accident reports as they happen, find out if roads are closed and know the weather at your destination. All this and more can now be at your fingertips. Use your power wisely.

I’ve mentioned before that I like GPS devices. However, when the maps start to get out of date or there is heavy road construction in your area that was recently completed it can leave the maps inside the system lacking. There is nothing worse than having your GPS tell you to take a route that has roads that no longer exist.

TomTom has announced a new service called the Map Update Service that allows customers to get quarterly map updates for a year. The price of the service is $39.80 for four updates per year or $9.95 per individual update.

GPS products company TomTom is getting set to make available its first ONE XL device to feature text-to-speech for spoken street names. The new TomTom ONE XL-S will be priced at around $400.

The TomTom ONE XL-S will allow for street names to be told to it as part of providing driving directions. It will also work with TomTom’s MapShare technology, which lets one share map improvements made on the GPS unit and later uploaded to an online community. The ONE XL-S provides a touchscreen interface built into a 4.3-inch screen.

Tom Tom said today it has updated its popular ONE portable navigation device and is now calling it the ONE 3rd Edition. This new spin on Tom Tom’s best selling GPS unit is priced at around $250 and should be available now.

The Tom Tom ONE 3rd Edition has a lightweight design and sports a 3.5-inch color TFT LCD touchscreen. It features what is being called an enhanced user interface and includes the ability to let users mark changes on maps displayed on the GPS unit for later uploading to a community Web site for sharing with other Tom Tom users. These updated maps can be downloaded by others for use on their travels.

TomTom has a new navigation gadget out which has brought a new community-based feature to the market called Map Share. The TomTom GO 720 has a lot of the cool features commonly found in portable navigation units plus a little more.

Finding accurate data on routes in obscure areas is getting better all the time, but there are always those new areas of town or those “roads less traveled” where the navigation software voice seems proud to tell you that they have “incomplete data”. The Map Share technology available on the GO 720 (and the new GO 520) allows you to map these new or desolate areas for yourself to use the next time you travel them. The GPS device also lets you record your own voice for directions if you wish, so on new routes or even on existing …

TomTom Navigator 6 is a software and hardware package that you can use with your existing smartphone or PDA. At first glance it may look as though this is another TomTom GPS device, but it is actually the navigational software and a wireless GPS receiver to integrate with your existing phone or PDA.

This software comes …

The TomTom GO 910 is a gadget that has more features pound for pound than most other gadgets I have seen. By trade I would say that TomTom is a GPS but it has a surprisingly large number of features that you might not expect, but make perfect sense once you see it.

For the GPS part of it, this model of the TomTom comes with door to door navigation in the US, Canada and Europe, a graphical bright color display of the maps in different views, and it speaks to you with direction instructions with it’s text to speech feature (can read your text for other items too, not just the directions). Also, it can speak 36 different languages and it has 50 different voices to choose from. You interact with the device using the large touch screen to make it easy …
