TomTom Go 500
TomTom ONE
The company released its rst navigator product, TomTom Navigator, in 2002, for Windows CE-powered
PDAs, bundled with car cradle and GPS receiver.[5] Version 2 of Navigator was released in 2003, followed in
March 2004 by TomTom Navigator 3 for Windows CE,
with live trac data available on subscription, downloaded over the phone/PDAs data connection.
The company was founded in 1991 and, until 1996, developed business-to-business applications such as meter
reading and bar-code reading. Subsequently, the company moved its focus to PDA software for the consumer market. Early mapping software included EnRoute, Citymaps and Routeplanner.

HISTORY
NavCore 6 was made available as an update to v5 all-inone devices in summer 2006, and to Navigator users in
August 2006. Text-to-speech was supported only on the
910.
In September 2006 the revised NavCore v6-powered
ONE was released.[11] An updated RIDER was released
in May 2007, and a 4.3 in widescreen ONE XL. Aside
from the larger screen, this added support for an RDSTMC receiver to the existing ONE. Compared with the
510 and 710, the ONE XL, with slightly larger screen, did
not have hands-free calling capability, and had a slower
CPU, fewer bundled accessories and a lower price.

2.1 TomTom GO
The TomTom GO is an all-in-one GPS navigation device.
It has a touch screen, speaker, USB port, internal Lithium
ion battery, and comes with TomTom HOME software. It
charges, synchronizes, and updates its data by connecting
to a Windows or Mac PC running the TomTom HOME
software via USB cable. Most models (and all new models) have Bluetooth transceivers that allow connection to
a smartphone. This allows it to make and receive calls.
Bluetooth equipped models are able to receive trac (using TMC, as the TomTom Go Live 1000)[15] and weather
updates using the TomTom Plus service on phones with
DUN data service.
