Toyota Yaris embeds TomTom
Sep 12, 2007 gps navigation, tomtom
TomTom today announced in Germany that Toyota’s Yaris will come with the option of an embedded portable navigation as a part of Yaris’ built-in radio system. The device being mentioned looks like the Eclipse AVN2210p which we have talked about before.
The best part of this system is that it is clutter free, fitting right onto Yaris’ dashboard; but at the same time it is portable, in case you need to use it on foot or in another vehicle.
Other benefits of TomTom and Toyota cooperating is that the navigation system will integrate seamlessly with car’s already existing audio system which will be utilized during vocal driving directions or taking hands free phone calls thanks to the bluetooth feature.
We’re not sure if/when TomTom embedded Yaris will be available in the States… via

I have a 2006 Prius with factory GPS. I am hoping that a new DVD is available, since mine is now over two years old and I am finding more and more areas where streets are not recognized.
I was also hoping you could tell me if you or someone else know if the Prius’ GPS can be integrated with a traffic service so that I can get suggestions of traffic issues audible and visible. As well as, suggestions of new routes to avoid the issue.
