TomTom updates 2nd edition Rider with essential components
Written by admin on April 26th, 2008 in Gadgets and Devices.
The TomTom 2nd Edition Rider is a GPS for people who mostly use a motorcycle as their means of transportation. TomTom did not add a lot of key features present in their normal, automobile GPS models, and so, with this update comes many features missing in the 2nd Edition Rider.
Some of the main features included in this update are Map Share, the Help Me! menu, which is a safety feature to try and help when needed, map guarantees, and Tele Atlas maps which cover Western and Eastern Europe, and they come pre-installed. Another cool update is that you can find out the stats of your trip, such as average and max speeds, total distance traveled, as well as the distance from the starting point. If you plan on buying a 2nd Edition Rider now, it would come with all of these new features. However, you might be wondering if you can still get these features if you already own this GPS or the 1st Edition Rider. The answer is yes, all you have to do is download the software from TomTom Home, and it’s free.
It it set to sell in early May, and the UK and Ireland model will sell for 349.99 Euros, and the European version will cost 399.99 Euros. It seems like it was about time TomTom added these features to this GPS, because it wasn’t fair for the bikers, as they missed out on a lot of key features.
