TomTom announces GO 530 navigator for Europe

Thought TomTom was done after introducing the GO 930 and 730 at CeBIT? Think again, as the company is also unveiling the GO 530, which is the reported successor the GO 520. For starters, this one is slated to arrive and stay in Europe, and its map content will depend largely on what region it is purchased in. As with its higher-numbered siblings, this bugger will also boast IQ Routes and the Advanced Lane Guidance, and it'll also feature a 4.3-inch 480 x 272 resolution display, a 400MHz CPU, 1GB of internal memory, an SD expansion slot, built-in Bluetooth and a Li-ion cell good for around 5 hours. If all that's good enough for you, it'll be ready to grab this April for around £235 ($466).

Is this river and narrow back-road aware?

[Andrew @ Mar 4th 2008 11:27PM]

It probably is not. Because it's not the expensive version made for truck drivers. But then again cheap ass trucker drivers that think they don't need that kind of help are the one's you'll read about next.

...more importantly, does it know that Kosovo has broken away?

Why would anyone need to know that? It's not going to change the roads, is it? And the trouble after the break away has been in Serbia...
