The TomTom GO 510
Portable GPS Vehicle Navigator improves upon
TomTom's line of all-in-one portable
navigation solutions that work straight out
of the box. The 510 features a new
cutting-edge design that includes a
high-quality, extra-wide, four-inch LCD
touch screen that offers the ultimate in
readability and ease of use.
The Go 510's wide
array of functions ranges from detailed maps
of the U.S. and Canada--all pre-installed on
a 1 GB SD card--to clear spoken turn-by-turn
directions to a handy Bluetooth hands-free
car kit that lets you make and receive cell
phone calls simply by touching the screen.
All this in a compact, lightweight body that
measures a mere 4.2 by 3.1 by 2.5 inches (W
x H x D)--the perfect size for moving from
car to car, or even storing in a backpack.

Linguists can't help but admire the Go 510's
versatility, as it not only speaks some 36
languages in more than 50 different voices.
To determine a location, simply enter a
street and house number, a postal code, a
city center, or an intersection, and the Go
510 determines the quickest or shortest
route to get you there. Should you want your
trip to follow specific parameters--such as
avoiding freeways or toll roads--the Go 510
follows along by recommending an alternative
route. Users can even preview and test
TomTom's proposed route before setting foot
in the car.
Of course, not all
trips go from point A to B, which is why the
Go 510 allows you to plan an entire
itinerary before leaving the house. Need to
make 15 stops while driving to your
sister's? No problem. And should you miss a
turn or instruction, the TomTom instantly
recalculates the route and provides all-new
directions. Plus, it's possible to access
millions of points of interest, including
restaurants, parking garages, movie
theaters, amusement parks, and more. If
you're running low on gas on a long drive,
don't fret, as the Go 510 can locate the
nearest gas station in seconds.
The Go 510's
unique touchscreen activation eliminates the
hassle of dealing with extra buttons or
unnecessary hardware when calculating a
route. And thanks to the high-quality 4-inch
LCD screen--which delivers crystal-clear 3-D
graphics, a 480 x 272 pixel resolution, and
64,000 colors--you'll feel in control
wherever you are. Users will also dig the
screen's anti-glare coating, which ensures
an optimal view at all times, even in direct
sunlight.
Even with the
touchscreen, GPS navigators can be tricky to
figure out. That's why TomTom included an
extensive guided tour that explains how to
get the most from your purchase, along with
a batch of useful onscreen tips. And if
you're not crazy about the default onscreen
interface, you can customize the status bar
to show only the information you need.
The Bluetooth
connection is another user favorite. Not
only can you connect the Go 510 to your
mobile phone or headset for hands-free
calling, but you'll enjoy such features as
echo cancellation and noise reduction to
ensure topnotch communications. And
answering calls couldn't be easier--just
touch the screen when a call comes through.
The external microphone, meanwhile,
optimizes the quality of your voice,
ensuring the people on the other end have no
trouble understanding you.
As if that weren't
enough, the TomTom Go 510 is also compatible
with a wide range of TomTom Plus services
and downloads (subscription required),
including real-time traffic info and weather
reports, access to a host of city and
regional maps, downloadable audiobooks for
long drives, thousands of extra points of
interest, and much more.
Other features
include a speeding alert that tells you when
you're going too fast, an iPod connection
for 3rd generation and later iPods (except
the iPod shuffle), and a home dock that
cradles your Go 510 while you download info
from a PC or Mac. The device also carries a
two-year warranty.
