Navigation Features
Maps of North America: The TomTom GO 2535 M LIVE can be used
in your car or used as a handheld navigation unit. Maps of the United States,
Canada, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, and parts of Mexico are installed on the
unit's built-in 4 GB flash memory.
Lifetime Map Updates: With the Lifetime Map Updates
subscription, you can download up to four map data updates per year from
tomtom.com.
Note: The non-transferable Lifetime Map Updates
subscription is good for the unit's useful life or until TomTom no longer
receives map updates from its suppliers, whichever is shorter.
5" Widescreen: The GO 2535 M LIVE features a 5" widescreen,
capacitive glass touch-panel LCD display (480 x 272 pixels). As with some
smartphones, you can move from page to page by swiping your finger across the
screen, and pinch to zoom.
Voice Recognition: TomTom Voice Recognition technology lets
you speak commands and destination addresses so you can keep your hands on the
wheel and eyes on the road. This intuitive Voice Recognition feature will
recognize several variations of the same command. You can also use Voice
Recognition to change display and audio settings, as well as make phone calls
with the built-in Bluetooth.
Driving View: When the TomTom GO 2535 M LIVE starts, you are
shown the Driving View screen, which shows your immediate locations on the
current route. The Driving View screen displays your current position; the name
of the next major road or road sign information; navigation instructions for the
road ahead; the name of the next street to turn on to, information about your
trip time, remaining distance and arrival time; GPS signal strength; and Traffic
bar. You can tap the screen to zoom in and out of your route.
Text-To-Speech: The GO 2535 M LIVE also announces directions
and street names giving you easier guidance and allowing you to focus better on
the road ahead.
IQ Routes Technology: The GO 2535 M LIVE calculates your
routes based on the real average speed measured on roads rather than the posted
speed limits. IQ Routes takes into account the time of day you're traveling a
road, and how rush hour traffic, pedestrian traffic, and traffic light changes
can affect actual traffic speed. You will get a more accurate ETA and the
fastest recommended route based on real world data.
Eco Routes: Using the driving data of millions of TomTom
users, the unit can indicate which routes are the most fuel-efficient to save
you money and have a lower environmental impact.
Advanced Lane Guidance: When navigating difficult
intersections, the GO 2535 M LIVE uses realistic images and a pulsing green
arrow to indicate which lane you should drive in to best negotiate the turns.
This service is only available in the US and Canada.
Points Of Interest: The GO 2535 M LIVE gives you access to
approximately 7 million pre-loaded Points of Interest (POIs) including fuel
stations, parking, restaurants, cash machines, and lots more. The POIs are
indicated by icons, and in some cases, logos of the business (such as Chevron,
Hampton Inn, and Wendy's). You can select which POI categories you want to
display.
Favorite Locations: The Favorite menu allows you to store
into memory those locations that you visit frequently. You can choose a favorite
location the same way you choose a destination. The following menu options are
available; Home, Address, Recent Destination, Point Of Interest, Point On Map,
GPS Position (allows you to store your current location quickly), latitude and
longitude, and the location where your TomTom was last used.
Help Me! Menu: This feature gives you direct access to
safety and road assistance information, such as the phone number and route
description to the nearest police station or hospital.
Map Share Technology: TomTom's exclusive Map Share feature
enables you to add to, update, and personalize your maps instantly. It also lets
you share and benefit from fellow users' changes - daily, automatically, and
easily. TomTom's large satellite navigation community contributes and exchanges
map changes amongst each other, giving you the latest, most accurate and
up-to-date mapping information.
