TomTom PRO 7100 and 9100 formally announced, destined for European trucking fleets
We're afraid we can't tell you any more about the consumer-facing TomTom Go 7100 and 9100 that surfaced in FCC filings last week, but if you're interested in Pro models that sport the same digits for your business fleet, TomTom's being slightly more accommodating. The Pro 7100 looks like it's going to replace the Go 7000 presently used in the company's business-to-business lineup at €329 (about $439), while the Pro 9100 adds an integrated modem and SIM card (letting you ditch the TomTom Link module typically required to monitor your fleet) for €399 ($532). Find both ready to guide trucks across forty-five European countries in the fourth quarter of the year. PR after the break.
TomTom LINK 300 hits the FCC
While it likely won't be of much interest to folks that buy their GPS units one at a time, those responsible for keeping tabs on whole fleets of vehicles will no doubt be pleased to hear that TomTom has an updated version of its LINK device on the way, as evidenced by its recent appearance at the FCC. As with the earlier version, the new LINK 300 model is designed to be paired with TomTom's WORK platform, which allows for two-way communication between a vehicle and the main office, and provides a means to keep track of working hours and breaks, among other work-related things. While there's no official word on a release just yet, we wouldn't expect it to be too long before a select few drivers out there have one of these keeping watch on their every move.[Via Navigadget]
