TomTom to offer Mapquest-branded version of TomTomGo 300
MapQuest has built up such a reputation for providing
accuracy-challenged directions that we know drivers who've dusted off the old paper maps they thought they'd never
have to consult again (you know, those ones you can never refold properly once you've opened them). But apparently
the brand is still well-known enough that GPS maker TomTom
has partnered with the AOL subsidiary to produce a MapQuest-branded version of its TomTomGo 300 navigator. The
$699 Mapquest device will be identical to the 300 — except that it'll always choose the most convoluted, least
efficient route to your destination.
