Concord, MA, August 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).
“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.
The new TomTom ONE provides an entry-level option to TomTom’s comprehensive product offering, which now includes:

I’ve used other TomTom products before and really liked them - their stable of products is quite excellent - the Go 910 is an great example of a feature rich GPS device that’s easy to use and not scary for those of us who are more technophobic than others.
And in large urban areas, TomTom’s Traffic system is invaluable!
I am excited to see what they will do next.
