TomTom GO GPS System Pre-Loaded with US Maps
 I'll admit that I lust after GPS systems for my car. I rented a car in the south of France that somehow came with one, and it found obscure wineries and what exit to take in those endless traffic circles, and basically saved the day every time we left the house.
Today TomToM GO (what is with that name?) has announced a US version that comes pre-loaded with US maps and voice guided assistance. "TomTom has leveraged its expertise in navigation solutions to make TomTom GO the easiest to use navigation device available today. TomTom GO can be easily mounted to any car windshield or dashboard in seconds with the supplied car mounting kit. Simply turn the device on and you are immediately ready to navigate. Users will enjoy pre-loaded maps of the entire United States, full door-to-door navigation capabilities, color 3D navigation views, as well as voice-guided routing instructions."
Only downside - it's $999. Or in other wiods....that's a lot of PayPal donations...sigh.
