It is time. I’ve been holding my breath on this for a few weeks now. If I don’t share it with you, I might just pass out from the unbearable anticipation… and lack of oxygen.

TomTom NAVIGATOR 6 is here. The latest navigation software for your PDA, with exciting new features such as:

• Contact navigation: Navigate direct to contacts stored in your address book

• Arrival time planning: Plan a route based on your desired arrival time

• Expanded points of interest searching: Navigate to a POI near current driving location, near home, near destination or along route

• Speeding alert: Notifies the driver if they’re speeding, even if they’re not in navigation mode (available on most major US highways)

• Safety Lock: Disables a number of menu items before driving, ensuring that maximum attention is kept on the road

• Realistic visual instructions: Visuals replicate road signs, making them easier to follow

• Pedestrian navigation view: 2D map with a fixed North-up view to allow better orientation when navigating on foot
