Tom Tom
What can you get in the world of Tom Tom? As it turns out, you can get far more than what you ever thought possible. Of course we all know the small, portable, handheld navigation systems that give you turn by turn directions using satellite technology, but there are other products offered by the company that might hold even more interest for you.
Car navigation systems can be small and portable, meant to be picked up and carried from place to place. That way if you are going to go on a trip in one car, you can take the Tom Tom with you. But, for people who only have one car or would prefer to have a more permanent mounting, there are built in the dash options. That eliminates the need to install a little mount to hold the portable unit, which can detract from the look of the windshield and might even be a distraction for some drivers. Of course, that option might only be available for certain models of cars without it becoming very expensive.
There is another option though: a Tom Tom unit that is designed for use on your bicycle. Gas prices, eco-crusading and just wanting to get more exercise are only a few of the reasons that there are more bikes than ever on the road. If you are a back road biker or just bike for great distances, that unit can not only come in handy but might even save your life.
Marathon runners and iron man tri-athletes often run long distances and may use new paths to keep themselves in their peak condition. That can increase their risk of getting lost and can present dangerous situations. Carrying a phone is not always easy, especially if you are trying to increase your speed. That is why there is a sports watch option that can be worn on the wrist and give you all of the GPS features in a small size.
Of course, there is the option of adding the same features to your smart phone with an app that is not only the best of Tom Tom satellite navigation but also allows you all of the features of your phone. Some phones do have a limited GPS feature already installed, but you may have to pay additional fees to access it, and there might be some restrictions to when it can start or how often you can access it.
Most people only need one type of GPS. Others might need a few of these options, especially if they are often out of their car and traffic. That is why there are so many Tom Tom options.
