    CARMINAT TOMTOM, THE FIRST UPDATABLE INTEGRATED NAVIGATION SYSTEM
    Carminat TomTom delivers the best of both removable and integrated navigation systems. Its 5.8-inch (approximately 15cm) colour screen is bigger and clearer than that of portable satnavs and delivers precise, dependable navigation with functions notably including traffic information, speed restriction warnings and fixed speed camera alerts. Carminat TomTom is easy to update. Mapping is stored on a 2Go SD card which can be inserted in a computer connected to the internet to benefit from a comprehensive range of on-line services (map updates, fixed speed camera locations, points of nterest, customization functions, MapShare for sharing and correcting map updates, etc.). Carminat TomTom is standard equipment on New Clio TomTom Edition.

    Carminat TomTom: the best of both worlds

    The advantages of an integrated system:

  • robust and durable,
  • user-friendly, clear and safe,
  • high-quality GPS reception signal thanks to a bespoke aerial, with the radio aerial used for the reception of traffic information,
  • precise (vehicle-sourced data),
  • sound and voice functions transmitted via the car's own audio system,
  • inherent anti-theft properties.

    plus the advantages of a portable system:

  • competitively priced,
  • updatable map data and fixed speed camera locations (depending on country),
  • customizable (points of interest, voice, car, icons, journey planning, etc.),
  • personal data saveable,
  • can be used in conjunction with the TomTom MapShare and Renault TomTom HOME platforms for on-line updates.
