The TomTom Start is specifically designed for occasional drivers and drivers who haven’t had a chance to experience the benefits of car navigation.

The simplified menu displays a two button user interface, ‘Plan route’ and ‘Browse map’. The device is lightweight, has a compact 3.5″ screen and has a semi-fixed EasyPort™ mount, making the whole navigation package fit into a pocket, small bag or glove compartment.

“With the introduction of TomTom Start, we have taken another step in democratising navigation by making it easy to use, accessible and affordable, but without compromising on providing drivers with the fastest route,” says Corinne Vigreux, Managing Director TomTom. “Available in six stylish colours, the TomTom Start is equipped with the unique innovative solutions IQ Routes™ and Map Share™ technology.”

IQ Routes technology provides users with the fastest route any time of day with accurate travel times. TomTom has a database of over 800 billion speed profiles worldwide, which are included in the device’s map so that users get smart route planning wherever they are. The device also comes with Map Share, TomTom’s unique technology that allows users to make their own map changes, and benefit from thousands of free map corrections made by TomTom users every day — free of charge.

The simplified menu gives users easy access to the safety camera database and thousands of Points of Interest pre-installed into the device.

For further personalisation, users can go to TomTom HOME desktop software to download a wealth of content, including start-up screens and a range of fun voices.
