Owners of iPod touch can now enjoy turn-by-turn navigation on their device, thanks to the new GPS-enabled TomTom car kit for iPod touch.

The car kit’s built-in GPS receiver adds GPS functionality to the iPod touch. Combined with the new TomTom application now available on the Apple App Store, drivers have a true mobile navigation device, giving them an entirely new driving and turn–by-turn navigation experience, in addition to listening to their favourite tunes.

“Bringing great navigation to different platforms is what we do best,” says Benoit Simeray, Vice-president Mobile On-Board at TomTom. “Being the first to launch navigation on iPod touch is an important step for TomTom’s mobile strategy. But, more importantly, iPod touch users can now benefit from the same TomTom navigation experience that iPhone users have been enjoying for months.”

The TomTom car kit for iPod touch provides a safe driving experience while enhancing the turn-by-turn navigation.

Features include:

Built-in high sensibility GPS receiver
Enables turn-by-turn navigation on the iPod touch.
Fast and secure GPS positioning.

Secure docking

Secure mount with unique design docks the iPod touch to the desired position on the car windshield or dashboard, using a twist-and-lock motion.

Adjustable mount securely rotates iPod touch to either portrait or landscape mode for optimal positioning and widescreen route display.

It is easily removed with one twist upon arrival at a destination.

Built-in loud speaker and microphone

Enhances the music (tunes, podcasts, radio, movies) from your iPod touch and enables loud and clear voice instructions (when used in combination with navigation software).

Additional features

Charges iPod touch while on the go.
Plays music through the AUX OUT port over the car stereo.

The TomTom car kit for iPod touch will be available from 20 November onwards in the TomTom web store (tomtom.com) and via the Apple online store with a recommended retail price of £79.95.
