TomTom’s QuickGPSfix Determines Your Position Faster Than Ever

CONCORD, Mass.--TomTom, a leading provider of personal navigation products and services today announces the availability of its free QuickGPSfix service. This free service enables TomTom GO users to get an even faster connection between their TomTom and the GPS satellites. The position of the TomTom GO is “fixed” seconds after switching on the device.

TomTom’s QuickGPSfix service predicts the orbits of the satellites for up to seven days and distributes these predictions to TomTom devices when they are connected to a PC or MAC with TomTom HOME. Even if the TomTom GO is switched off for more than a day, it can obtain a fix within a few seconds. This feature, which is currently unique to the new TomTom GO range, enables drivers to start navigating faster than ever before.

TomTom’s QuickGPSfix service can easily be accessed via a wireless cell phone data connection or by connecting a TomTom GO device to a computer running TomTom’s software application, TomTom HOME. This unique method of providing QuickGPSfix information to TomTom GO users will automatically provide QuickGPSfix updates.

TomTom HOME is available for free from the TomTom website and enables users to efficiently manage TomTom PLUS content & services from their computer. Customers can easily purchase and download content like maps, route planning and voices. TomTom HOME can be used for all TomTom personal navigation devices as well as TomTom NAVIGATOR 6.

TomTom’s QuickGPSfix is currently compatible with the TomTom GO 910 and TomTom GO 510 and predicts the location of GPS satellites for seven days. Users are required to connect to TomTom HOME at least once a week for the quickest GPS fix.
