TomTom Go 950

The GO 950 is one of three upcoming GPS navigation systems from TomTom. The 550 LIVE, 750 LIVE, and 950 LIVE will complete TomTom's flagship x50 line, and all integrate a new user interface with more advanced routing technologies than previous models. The 950 is the only model which includes maps of the US and Canada in addition to Europe. Dead-reckoning technology, which prevents loss of GPS coverage in tunnels and dense urban cores, is also available only in the top-of-the-line GO 950. New features shared by all three devices include IQ Routes, which works in tandem with live traffic data to continuously optimize a selected route. In addition, a new Eco Routes option helps select the most fuel-efficient path to a destination. The GO 950 LIVE is slated for release in fall 2009; pricing is to be announced.
