TomTom HD Traffic 6.0 upgrade ready for consumers, hopes to guide them through LA traffic
Posted in: Today's Chili 
Stuck in traffic? Get off your phone, then update your TomTom — the company announced today that its latest traffic service update, HD Traffic 6.0 is ready to get you out of that traffic jam. The updated service sources real-time data anonymously collected from other TomTom users, and promises to identify 65 percent more road closures than its previous system. Culling data from the service, TomTom was even able to identify Los Angeles as the most congested city in North America — though we’d hardly consider a call that obvious roadway clairvoyance. On the other hand, we’re not about to argue with anything that gets us off the road faster. Read on for TomTom’s official press announcement.

GPS maker TomTom and Fiat are partnering for new connected navigation system will be used in the Fiat 500L. The navigation system used in the little car will be the TomTom Go Live using a special cradle and dashboard system to allow the driver to have clear visibility while providing navigation details. The system will use HD traffic information and allow drivers to use social media apps to access restaurant reviews, hotel options, and to update followers on their location.
It’s strange to me that automakers are going with non-integrated systems such as the TomTom Go Live with their vehicles rather than integrating navigation into the car. The system in the 500L will feature HD Traffic information helping drivers find quick routes through traffic promising more updates than competing services. The system also features Search & Go.
Search & Go is integrated with Expedia, Trip Advisor, and twitter allowing drivers to access reviews to make informed decisions and use services to allow the users to navigate to a friend. This will be available in Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, and UK. The navigation system also supports TomTom Speed Cameras allowing drivers access to fixed and mobile speed camera alerts.
