TOM TOM GO 510 GPS Navigation System
Description
The new TomTom GO 510 Personal GPS Sat Nav Navigation Device is the entry level of the new GO range, although not what you would call a low specification.
Handsfree Bluetooth car kit integrated as standard, a larger 4" wide screen and a plethora of features unrivalled by any other PND.
The device is set to be supplied with a docking station for use in your home, that will allow you to easily charge your Tom Tom GO and manage the contents including your Points of Interest including Speed Cameras locations.
As well as an integrated SirfStar III GPS receiver, the new GO 510 will also have the ability to playback MP3 files and the new additions to the TomTom Plus service have been adjusted to reflect this with audiobooks scheduled for availability to Plus members.
Mention has been made of a text to speech function which will apparently read out street names.
