The voice navigation and detailed maps of cities are a couple functions to mention. The options also include turning off the speakers and the GPS status and setup screens. The inclusion of places of interest and reducing the necessity of reentering the destinations are integrated for easy navigation.

With TomTom Navigator, you can follow directions easily with the help of the Navigator screen. If you are on a predetermined journey, the screen will show with red highlight the road you are presently driving and a green arrow will point out the next junction you may have to take. There is no question of getting lost on the journey when you utilize TomTom auto navigation.

The TomTom GPS Navigator even includes points of interest on specific maps that are not yet completed. The addresses and phone numbers of the business concerns and restaurants are being included with their web and e-mail addresses.

A compass is incorporated in the Navigator screen. In the improved version, Navigator re-routing is done in 5 to 10 seconds, reducing the calculation time of the appropriate routes to be taken from one place to another.
