TomTom GO 740 LIVE is now live
Apr 3, 2009 gps navigation, tomtom
TomTom GO 740 Live which we first announced back in January is now shipping in the U.S. as promised.
This is TomTom’s first “connected” GPS navigation system which can provide the user with wireless real-time traffic feeds, local Google search, fuel price service, weather, and TomTom QuickGPSFix (A-GPS) to shorten the time to find satellites.
The good news is the price is only $400, which has gone down $100 since the device was announced. The LIVE services costs $10/month but first three of those are free.
Here are some specs:
- Touch-screen: 4.3 inch full TFT color LCD (480 x 272 pixels, supports 64K colors)
- Memory: 2 Gb Internal Flash (micro-SD slot for additional storage)
- Maps: Pre-loaded maps of USA, Canada from Tele Atlas
- GPS: High-sensitivity GPS chipset
- Bluetooth: for Hands-Free calling
- Connected: Built-in SIM card and GPRS modem for plug-and-play connectivity
- Battery: Rechargeable internal 3 hour battery

I just spent a month settling on a GPS for my car. I looked at the Tom-Toms next to a Garmin, and nearly puked at just how bad Tom-Toms GUI is done. Way to much info on the main screen, while missing some very important stuff (street name at the top???) The maps are very plain, and frankly, seem worse then what I used to have with my iPaq in the late 90’s!
