TomTom launches Top Gear GPS

Global Positioning System maker TomTom is ready to launch the TomTom GO LIVE Top Gear edition, which is sure to put a smile on any driver’s face, as Jeremy Clarkson gives directions in his own unique way.

“For Top Gear fans, this limited edition satnav is the ultimate driving companion. Featuring The Stig, Clarkson and TomTom HD Traffic, the GO LIVE Top Gear edition is perfect for drivers who love the open road,” said Daan Henderickx, Country Manager for TomTom South Africa.

The unit also features TomTom’s congestion-busting HD Traffic technology and Top gear start-up and shut-down screens and car icons. In terms of guidance, users can either choose the soothing sounds of Clarkson’s voice, or The Stig, which renders the device instantly silent.

“At R1 999, the TomTom GO LIVE Top Gear edition includes one year of TomTom’s LIVE Services at no cost. 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,” TomTom added.
