My brother just bought a new Lexus and has had a terrible time with the built-in. The fact that I know my GPS well and can take it from car to car without relearning the interface means a great deal to me.

In fairness, my gps solution of choice is a TomTom bluetooth receiver and TomTom Navigator software in a Treo 650, so it's not as sophisticated as what they're discussing in the interview.]]>Jul 2nd 2007 1:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/the-engadget-interview-jocelyn-vigreux-president-of-tomtom-usa/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/the-engadget-interview-jocelyn-vigreux-president-of-tomtom-usa/Jul 2nd 2007 2:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/the-engadget-interview-jocelyn-vigreux-president-of-tomtom-usa/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/the-engadget-interview-jocelyn-vigreux-president-of-tomtom-usa/
Note to TomTom. Please don't call your product TomTom when marketing it in the US. I mean, Tomtom might be a cool name in Finland and all, but not here in the US man. You've got to change the name.]]>Jul 2nd 2007 2:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/the-engadget-interview-jocelyn-vigreux-president-of-tomtom-usa/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/the-engadget-interview-jocelyn-vigreux-president-of-tomtom-usa/Jul 2nd 2007 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/the-engadget-interview-jocelyn-vigreux-president-of-tomtom-usa/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/the-engadget-interview-jocelyn-vigreux-president-of-tomtom-usa/
Anyways, TomTom and Garmin should seriously think about doing built-ins, possible as a dealer-installed extra.

IMO, I don't think it's practical and safe to have one of these babies hanging form your windshield. ]]>Jul 3rd 2007 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/the-engadget-interview-jocelyn-vigreux-president-of-tomtom-usa/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/the-engadget-interview-jocelyn-vigreux-president-of-tomtom-usa/

TomTom should probably look into licensing their technology out to cell phone vendors (unless they want to get into the cell phone device game themselves).

I generally try to look for the positive, but I expect support and upgrades for at least a few years - I've had my TomTom Navigator 5 for less than 1 year. Unbelievable. Run, don't hide from this company.]]>Jul 2nd 2007 3:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/the-engadget-interview-jocelyn-vigreux-president-of-tomtom-usa/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/the-engadget-interview-jocelyn-vigreux-president-of-tomtom-usa/Jul 2nd 2007 4:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/the-engadget-interview-jocelyn-vigreux-president-of-tomtom-usa/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/the-engadget-interview-jocelyn-vigreux-president-of-tomtom-usa/Jul 3rd 2007 1:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/the-engadget-interview-jocelyn-vigreux-president-of-tomtom-usa/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/the-engadget-interview-jocelyn-vigreux-president-of-tomtom-usa/Jul 11th 2007 7:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/the-engadget-interview-jocelyn-vigreux-president-of-tomtom-usa/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/the-engadget-interview-jocelyn-vigreux-president-of-tomtom-usa/Jul 11th 2007 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/the-engadget-interview-jocelyn-vigreux-president-of-tomtom-usa/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/the-engadget-interview-jocelyn-vigreux-president-of-tomtom-usa/Jul 6th 2007 5:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/the-engadget-interview-jocelyn-vigreux-president-of-tomtom-usa/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/the-engadget-interview-jocelyn-vigreux-president-of-tomtom-usa/Jul 25th 2007 4:05PM
