TomTom unveils new "navigation/infotainment" solution

>
TomTom today released details of its brand new Go I-90 integrated navigation system.

The Go I-90 can be installed into any car model and provides full radio integration with the car speakers for high quality audio when using spoken instructions, or making hands-free phone calls.

The device will also feature a pre-installed map of Western Europe and TomTom Map Share, enabling drivers to share directions and traffic updates on the fly.
