TomTom Introduces TomTom ONE in North America; Company Unveils All-In-One Navigation Solution with Slim Design

CONCORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 17, 2006--TomTom, the world's leading personal in-car navigation solution provider, today announces the launch of its new TomTom ONE in North America. TomTom ONE combines a lightweight, slim design with TomTom's award winning software at just $499.

Combining ease of use, portability, TomTom's patented touch screen technology and award winning software, the new TomTom ONE fits in any shirt pocket and can easily be taken from car to car. The new ONE does not compromise screen size or quality and features a sleek lightweight design (only 5.6 ounces) and ultra compact measurements (3.8 inches x 3.2 inches x 1.0 inch).

“TomTom ONE is not only the most affordable integrated product we have brought to market, it also boasts exceptional quality in a streamlined easy to use package.”

"The new TomTom ONE is TomTom's most compelling all-in-one entry level product offering yet, demonstrating TomTom's commitment to making navigation a reality for everyone," said TomTom Inc. President Jocelyn Vigreux. "TomTom ONE is not only the most affordable integrated product we have brought to market, it also boasts exceptional quality in a streamlined easy to use package."

In addition, drivers have access to all TomTom PLUS services including real-time traffic and weather reports and updates on road conditions. Users can also take advantage of TomTom HOME, the software package that efficiently manages content between one's PC or MAC and TomTom device. Via TomTom HOME users can easily plan routes, download voices and install maps to keep their TomTom up to date anytime.

"Demand for portable GPS navigation continues to evolve in North America and Europe," said Thilo Koslowski, Research Vice President, Gartner Inc. "With the launch of new, easy-to-use and cost-effective devices, robust GPS navigation will be affordable for any consumer and no longer limited to affluent users."
