TomTom sat-nav units afflicted with leap year GPS bug
Like UnlikeFiled in: GPSTomTom
While technology can help to make our lives easier, it can also be extremely frustrating when things stop working. Some TomTom satellite navigation systems have reportedly been affected by a bug that renders them useless. TomTom say that the units are affected by a leap year bug embedded in the software, and that they’re working on a fix.

The death of dedicated satnav cometh as TomTom posts poor Q3 sales?
Like UnlikeFiled in: GPSTomTom
TomTom has recently posted some rather unhealthy Q3 sales as the company sees further drop in demand for dedicated GPS units.
The Dutch company, who has been at the forefront of the satnav industry for many years aims to cut 50 million euros in costs, which will hopefully help it turn a decent profit in the coming months. The savings will also mean job cuts ofr many of its staff.
Despite a 50 per cent rise in its Q3 profit, due in large degree to depreciation of the euro against the dollar, it seems TomTom struggled - with sales falling 10 per cent in the same period to 336 million euros.

TomTom HD Traffic boosted by capital injection
Like UnlikeFiled in: GPSTomTom
TomTom has done a deal with Transport for London to get more detailed London traffic info into its HD Traffic service.
TFL will provide TomTom with its traffic data - so TomTomers will have access to information such as where road works are taking place, where accidents have happened, temporary road closures (handy come Olympic-time) and where traffic is likely to be disrupted.
They'll also get the severity of the delays thanks to TFL's 360 mile red route network in London and information fed into its control centre by London’s 7,500 buses, event organisers and road works contractors combined with speed data tracked from connected TomTom devices and Vodafone mobile phone handsets.
