Seat to Semi-Integrate TomTom GO 710 GPS
So last week I wrote up a post about the GPS Wars – TomTom and Garmin vs. the Automakers. I feel like the GPS makers are poised to win due to their superior offerings and added benefits of portability. Well, it appears that Volkswagen’s SEAT manufacturer agrees, as they are reportedly going to offer a dash integrated mount for TomTom starting this year. The TomTom GO 710 mount would be "semi-integrated" and located top the left of the steering wheel. The GO 710 would tie directly into the audio system of the vehicle, allowing the instructions to be sent over the stereo regardless of what’s playing.
The TomTom 710 would also act as a handsfree kit for Bluetooth phones using the speakers in the car to broadcast the conversation. The cost of the mount and the TomTom 710 would be about 50 Euros higher than the suggested retail price of the TomTom 710 alone. In my mind you might also want a spare mount for when you travel in other cars – hence the portability advantage of the portable navigation devices!
