TomTom GO 730 and 930 announced UPDATE: Read my TomTom GO 730 review and my TomTom GO 930 review. TomTom is announcing two new products today — the TomTom GO 730 and 930. The new x30 series incorporates a couple of new features — lane separation / complex junction details being one, but perhaps most exciting is the integration of historical average speed data for improved routing. NOTE: Originally this post mentioned two other models that would include a traffic receiver, a 730T and 930T. I've been told now that those models have not been announced. It would not surprise me to see them at some point in the future though. Who knows, maybe they changed their mind because they are getting close to bring high-definition (HD) traffic to the U.S. TomTom IQ routesTM TomTom is referring to their new routing as IQ RoutesTM.

Navigon 2100 max and FreshMaps UPDATE: Read our Navigon 2100 max review The Navigon 2100 max is being announced at CeBIT today.

Like the 2100, the "max" includes Reality ViewTM at complex interchanges, text-to-speech, and multi-destination routing. The 2100 max will include maps of the continental U.S. and will retail for $299. The 2120 max will be available in Canada for $329 CAD and will feature both U.S. and Canadian maps. The units are expected to hit store shelves in late March or early April. Navigon is also announcing FreshMaps, which allows users to download up to 12 NAVTEQ-based map updates in three years. FreshMaps will cost $79.99 and will be available for all Navigon 2100, 5100 and 7100 series models as of April 2008. This is an innovative approach to providing map updates and I commend Navigon for making it easier to keep the maps on their devices current. We're also beginning to see an interesting business strategy that allows Navigon to sell units at a relatively low cost but offer several attractive add-ons. Note that the following...
