Es improbable que un fabricante de móviles sepa más de GPS que nosotros, entrevistamos a Nuno Gomes de TomTom
Con el tema central del avance de los GPS ante la presión de los teléfonos móviles, en Xataka hemos entrevistado a Nuno Gomes, vicepresidente de ventas de TomTom Iberia.
La empresa de navegación se encuentra en pleno proceso de adaptación a lo que debe ser un GPS de coche en el futuro, y Nuno Gomes nos ha desvelado el camino que va a seguir TomTom en el futuro más próximo, con el lanzamiento de la tienda de aplicaciones entre sus preferencias, pero con la clara convicción de que son líderes y de que el GPS en los coches tiene el futuro asegurado.
TomTom Urban Rider es el navegador sencillo para motoristas
TomTom, además de adelantar sus planes para resucitar los GPS de coche, se ha sacado de la manga una nueva versión de su navegador GPS para motociclistas. El TomTom Urban Rider quiere ofrecer a los usuarios de motos una navegación sencilla e inteligente.
El TomTom Urban Rider ha simplificado la interfaz para que las opciones a elegir en la pantalla principal sean las mínimas (de hecho, solo dos), manteniendo el poder usar su pantalla táctil con guantes. Pero esa simplicidad no lleva aparejada una omisión de mejoras, pues provenientes de los navegadores de coche, se incorporan mejoras como la indicación avanzada de carriles y la tecnología IQ Routes.
La tecnología Map Share también llega a la gama Rider, la cual contará con un modelo Pro que incorpora un auricular bluetooth. La nueva gama estará disponible a partir de mayo con un precio de 250 euros.

TomTom Go Live 1000 GPS navigation system
TomTom has introduced its latest GPS navigation system known as the Go Live 1000, where it will rely on a capacitive touchscreen which is more natural to finger input. Its interface was revamped in order to make life a whole lot easier when using it, while you get a similar web browser engine which is capable of running Chrome and Safari. Folks in Europe who pick up the TomTom Go Live 1000 will be able to benefit from a 1-year cellular-driven access from Vodafone, where you can enjoy live traffic, local searching and speed camera detection. IQ Routes is an ever present feature, relying on your past data to know where to take a detour just in case there is a traffic gridlock. Powered by a 500MHz ARM11 chip and 128MB RAM, the Go Live 1000 will ship later this summer for a yet undisclosed price.

GPS leads couple into Oregon wilderness, lack of common sense keeps them there 3 days
So you're cruising along, in your GPS-equipped SUV, taking your dear wife back home to Reno. The trusty onscreen guide instructs you to "turn right" and you follow its typically reliable instructions. At what point in the next three days of plowing deeper and deeper into snow-covered Oregon do you start suspecting that maybe something is amiss? Alright, so this isn't quite on par with others driving buses into low-clearance tunnels, dipping their cars into rivers, or jamming heavy load trucks into unsuitably tight farm lanes. But we don't discriminate here, all instances of idiotic GPS dependency deserve their moment in the sun, so here's to Mr. John Rhoads and his tastefully named wife, Mrs. Starry Bush-Rhoads, who are now safe and sound after their phone pinged out its coordinates to emergency services when it began losing signal.
