TomTom has introduced new, driver-friendly versions of popular social networking and online travel services.Their new Search & Go LIVE Services – which include Expedia, TripAdvisor and Yelp – allow users to access trusted online reviews and offers them the best route to get to their destination by working with TomTom’s map and routing technology.
The Twitter functionality in TomTom devices will feature an option to tweet the driver’s destination to their followers with the ETA. The Twitter message is pre-set by the user before they take off, so they can concentrate on the road ahead without trying to type and drive. The estimated time of arrival will be updated before the actual arrival to give more accuracy. All Twitter functionalities are optional, so if you want it off, so it shall be.
Within the Search & Go LIVE Services portfolio, the Expedia feature allows people to compare accommodation in their vicinity. Trip Advisor and Yelp give drivers access to live, impartial reviews for restaurants, hotels, spas and theatres, so travelling becomes a whole lot easier!
This service is set to be available in South Africa from 2012.
