7 Announced about 18 months ago and originally scheduled for release one year ago, the highly anticipated Nuvifone has finally landed. So far people who have been able to get their hands on one (I haven’t been able to get one) haven’t had too many positive things to say. I’m not sure I’d write off the Nuvifone yet, however.

6 TomTom has introduced a new model in Europe, the TomTom Start. It is unclear if the Start will make it over to this side of the Atlantic, although this model would fit well into many Black Friday sales. The interface has been simplified so the most casual GPS users should be able to use it with little effort. The main menu looks to take a queue from Garmin devices by limiting the user two primary choices. Continue–> TomTom Start

28 Earlier this summer TomTom introduced their first two-way connected device, the 740 LIVE. Today, TomTom has announced a little brother to the 740, the XL 340s LIVE. You should be able to pick one up soon, for a retail price of $299.95. Continue–> TomTom XL 340s LIVE

28 Two new XL products are now appearing on the TomTom site. The XL 325 and XL 325-S look like they will become available soon. In contrast to the XXL models, these come with a 4.3″ widescreen display and are very similar to the XL 340 and XL 340-S. Continue–> TomTom XL 325-S

25 Now that we know the cost of the TomTom Car Kit is $119 there has been a lot of chatter about the price, wondering if it is too expensive. Of course, we have some thoughts about this. So let’s break it down based on what you get and comparing it to similarly equipped PND devices. Continue–> Is the TomTom Car Kit Too Expensive?

24 If I’m reading this page at the Dutch Apple Store correctly, the TomTom Car Kit will be available in 2-3 weeks at a cost of $149 USD. But what is somewhat more surprising is this little nugget at the end. Continue–> TomTom Car Kit Availability

21 Traffic is being drawn in more places every day. From Google Maps to your local TV news, from GPS devices, to iPhone apps– everyone wants traffic information. Now I love data, stats, figures, and charts as much as the next guy but trying to interpret traffic data is almost as frustrating as traffic itself. Here is my open call to the industry to clear the lane of confusion, my suggestion on how to depict traffic so that drivers can get meaningful and actionable data from the pretty traffic maps.

4 While we’ve been hearing rumors and even tiny hints from Navigon themselves over the past few weeks, today Navigon confirms that they are building their own “Car Kit” for the iPhone. Details are still short at this time, however we’ve got a picture (below) and a few details on timing. Continue–> Navigon Announces iPhone Mount

1 There’s a new connected TomTom in town, the GO 7000. Don’t expect to see it on many store shelves however as this model is targeted to commercial fleets as part of the TomTom WORK program. Think of the GO 7000 as being a cousin to the TomTom 740 LIVE but with software tailored for commercial fleet operators. Continue–> TomTom WORK GO 7000

1 Earlier this morning Garmin announced a new GPS in their cycling lineup, the Garmin Edge 500. In comparison with other recent GPS devices in the Edge line, people should take notice of what was left out of the new Edge 500 rather than what was added– and I mean that in a good way. The new Edge 500 is much lighter than other Edge models, coming it a mere 2 ounces. Continue–> Garmin Edge 500
