Well, there were plenty of rumours and much speculation, even a sneak peak on the TomTom site but the x40 range has now been officially launched at IFA in Berlin.
At a Press Conference this afternoon TomTom unveiled the new 540, 740 and 940 connected devices. These utilise a GPRS data connection to provide access to dynamic routing information which takes into account current road conditions. Each one uses TomTom's HD Traffic service as well as a new, updated IQ-Routes. Perhaps the most useful addition is the Google 'Local Search' feature - search Google via the Satnav and navigate straight to the supplied address. Voice Control has also been updated with over 100 tasks now voice-activated. All the x40 devices also come with a new 'active mount' which is sure to please many prospective owners!
The devices will cost from £299 and are expected to become available in Autumn 2008. Each device comes with a free 3 month trial of the LIVE services after which a subscription will cost €9.95 per month and can be cancelled with one months notice.
