Lifetime Map Updates
TomTom’s Lifetime Map Updates feature allows users to keep their maps fresh by downloading, every few months, the industry’s most accurate and up-to-date maps. The maps include one million more miles than competing maps and, in certified tests, rate highest in terms of quality and reliability.

Lifetime Traffic Updates
TomTom’s Lifetime Traffic Updates feature offers real-time insight into traffic to help drivers avoid delays. The TomTom device receives the latest traffic information every three minutes, recalculates total drive time and suggests more efficient alternate routes if they are available.

Select TomTom devices across the TomTom XL and TomTom XXL product lines are now available with Lifetime Map Updates, Lifetime Traffic Updates or a combination of these features. Pricing starts at $199.95 MSRP and varies by model.

The results were calculated using data from Speed Profiles(TM), the historical speed database from TomTom’s licensing business unit Tele Atlas that helps personal and professional fleet drivers find the best routes. Speed Profiles aggregates, anonymously, the actual speeds that millions of GPS-enabled drivers have traveled over the last two years to provide the most accurate view of average speeds on both primary and secondary roads.

“TomTom made big headlines last year when it announced that it would be launching a dedicated GPS app for the iPhone. After all, TomTom is one of the best-known and most well-regarded GPS makers around. That’s just one of the reasons why this app, now available for $59.99, has earned the About.com Reader’s Choice Award for Best Paid iPhone App. It earned 58 percent of the vote, edging rival Navigon’s GPS app for the title.” – About.com
