Glyn Demmer: Navigation in Africa

"In my search for the complete road coverage provider, I went shopping at Sandton City. I visited the outdoor shops as well as a few others until I got the information I was looking for.

To my surprise, TomTom came out the winner. A relatively new entrant into the South African market, this company has won a good share of the GPS business, and has now introduced units that cover more than seven million kilometres of roads in Africa, in all 57 countries."

TomTom geeft realtime omleidingen weer tijdens de NSS
Gepost op 21-03-2014 om 8:38 door Erwin - Geen reacties »

De eerste wegen rond het World Forum zijn vanochtend om 06:00 uur afgesloten. En de verkeershinder zal in aanloop naar de NSS alleen maar groter worden, tot aan compleet afgesloten snelwegen toe. TomTom zal proberen orde in de chaos te scheppen.

30% snelwegen op slot

Men verwacht files van 400 tot 500 kilometer in en om Den Haag. De Nederlandse navigatieboer TomTom speelt daar nu op in door extra verkeersdeskundigen in te zetten. Zij moeten voorspellen waar de grote vertragingen op de Nederlandse snelwegen tijdens de Nuclear Security Summit zullen plaatsvinden. Immers, 30,7% van de snelwegen is vanaf zondag 23 tot en met dinsdag 25 maart permanent of op bepaalde tijdstippen worden afgesloten.

Tijdstip: classified

Van tevoren is niet geheel duidelijk welke wegen dat op welke tijdstippen zijn, aangezien dat mede afhankelijk is van de reisschema’s van de 52 wereldleiders en vierduizend delegatieleden die naar Nederland komen. Onder anderen president Obama, bondskanselier Merkel en secretaris-generaal van de Verenigde Naties Ban Ki-Moon worden per auto naar het World Forum in Den Haag gebracht. De grootste verkeershinder wordt dan ook verwacht in de omgeving van Den Haag, Amsterdam en Schiphol.

Vraag een route aan via Twitter

Mocht je toch tijdens die dagen de door AWACS-beveiligde Randstad in gaan, dan kun je realtime een alternatieve route krijgen. TomTom-topman Carlo van der Weijer zegt daarover:

“We hebben een team van TomTom’s verkeersdeskundigen klaar zitten om tijdens het hele evenement live updates te doen. Verkeersinformatie wordt gedeeld op Twitter en onze experts staan stand-by om direct vragen te beantwoorden. Bestuurders kunnen hun route en locatie voor vertrek tweeten en direct een snellere alternatieve route krijgen aangeboden. Hoe dan ook adviseren we iedereen die in de auto stapt om de snelwegen te vermijden.”

Het TomTom Traffic Center heeft een realtime verkeers- en routeplanner voor forensen en bedrijven gelanceerd op routes.tomtom.com. Mocht dat niet lukken, dan kun je via de hashtag #TTNSS om meer verkeersinfo vragen.

TomTom : updates segment revenue reporting in line with automotive strategy

TomTom updates segment revenue reporting in line with automotive strategy

As of Q1 2014, TomTom will make some changes to its reporting as follows:

The hardware component of sales to automotive clients will be reported in Consumer instead of in Automotive in order to clearly identify automotive revenue which comes from content and software. This is the main change. Additionally, due to client portfolio redistribution a minor amount of revenue will be moved from Licensing to Automotive;
Stock compensation costs will be included in R&D, Marketing and SG&A expenses and no longer separately disclosed in line with best practice.

For comparison purposes only, restated 2013 figures on a full year basis are presented in the table below:

The quarterly figures and the restated half and full year segment EBIT figures for 2013 are attached.

Het FCC hadden we al gezien, maar nu is hij er echt :)

~ TomTom Runner Cardio is the easiest way to improve performance ~

Amsterdam, 2 April 2014 – TomTom today launches the Runner Cardio GPS sport watch with cutting-edge heart rate technology. The Runner Cardio has a built-in Heart Rate Monitor, eliminating the need for a separate chest strap.

The Runner Cardio makes it easy to train in the optimal heart rate zone. Runners can select one of five intensity zones to match their training goals and will receive alerts to know whether they need to speed up or slow down. Runners can see real-time heart rate, distance, pace and other essential running information at a glance, while running.

Now, with the launch of the Runner Cardio, all runners can easily use heart rate training to improve their performance.”

The Runner Cardio accurately measures heart rate with a Mio® optical sensor, which monitors changes in blood flow by shining light through the skin.

The TomTom Runner Cardio is available to order from www.tomtom.com/sports for 269 euros. There is also a Multi-Sport Cardio sport watch available for 299 euros.

CAR HMi concepts & systems 2014 (26-27 juni 2014)

TomTom uiteraard ook aanwezig:

The Car Interface Challenge
Simone Tertoolen, UX Lead of TomTom's Product Lab, TomTom International BV / The Netherlands

The increased capabilities in the car have caused complexity for the driver. The traditional layout of information separating between the telematics cluster in the front view and the infotainment in the center stack does not seem to be a future proof solution. TomTom has taken a clean sheet approach to the car interface challenge reconsidering established solutions:
Should the primary information space of the driver’s view still be reserved for large analog dials that communicate what happens under the hood?
Can we envision an HMI that allows the driver to always keep his hands on the steering wheel and his eyes on the road?"

TomTom intros 'game-changing' high speed multi-charger

Four times fast in-car charging for up to three devices at once

News | CIOL Bureau

PUNE, INDIA: TomTom India announced the launch of its High Speed Multi-Charger: the charging solution that can charge up to three devices in the car at once - and up to four times faster than other chargers.

The High Speed Multi-Charger boasts TomTom's award-winning design. Sleek and small, this is one neat in-car, in-truck, or even in-caravan charger.

"The TomTom High Speed Multi-Charger is truly game-changing," says Kavita Nath, country manager at TomTom India. "TomTom High Speed Multi - Charger enables users to charge their smartphones, iPads and other devices - such as their cameraor a power-hungry portable DVD player all at the same time."

Drivers can rest assured that all devices will receive full-power charging simultaneously. Where most competitor products state they can charge up to 2.1 amps, that power is split between different ports. Plug in more than one device and full charge is lost. Not so with the High Speed Multi-Charger, whose two dedicated USB ports provide full power at all times.

As well as a 1.2 amp USB charging port for mobile phones or MP3 players, there's a 2.1 amp port to speed-charge high power USB devices such as an iPad or iPhone. This charges up to four times faster - without impacting the other port's charging capability. Plus there's a dedicated port for powering 12V in-car devices like DVD players.

This means that drivers who are always on the road can charge and use all their electronic devices during the trip. And those planning a long drive this holiday season will be able to keep the kids happy with an in-car DVD system and top up their mobile phone charge. For full power to multiple devices and up to four times faster charging, it has to be the genuine TomTom High Speed Multi-Charger.

The recently launched charger line up includes, range of chargers including Compact USB Car Charger, Fast Car Charger, Fast Car Charger with Cable and Clip management and USB Home Charger.

Hopen dat ze met dergelijke patenten hun IP-rechten rond realtime maps voldoende dicht kunnen timmeren. Zodat het ook echt een uniek product in de markt wordt. De combi van static en dynamic zou ook Google de pas af moeten snijden. Een goede basis van offline static data is weer essentieel voor de automotive markt. Als de verbinding dan wegvalt (of te duur is door roaming tarieven, die overigens binnenkort gaan verdwijnen) zijn de dynamische correcties het enige wat je mist. TomTom zal sowieso in alle scenario's veel vriendelijker met je databundel omgaan dan volledig "online alternatieven".

Dit soort patenten zijn een mooi indirect bewijs dat de ontwikkeling van de realtime maps vol op stoom ligt.

Zoals altijd: AB voor het spitwerk!

Norway in-car entertainment market affected by new cars having in-built systems included;
reports.pr-inside.com/norway-in-car-e...

"TomTom remained the overall leader in in-car entertainment in 2012 with a retail volume share of 22%. This was due to its commanding lead in the in-car navigation category, where it offers a number of models at different price points under its eponymous brand and enjoys both an early mover advantage and a strong reputation for innovation."

En ook andere in het lijstje gebruiken TomTom :)
