Navigating yourself around the country need not be a headache - with a TomTom GPS you punch in your destination and put your seatbelt on. It's as easy as that!
Get away even earlier this weekend with a GPS
On your next weekend away make sure you pack a GPS to ensure you start the weekend as you leave – rather than when you arrive. A GPS allows you to relax and enjoy the drive ahead with complete confidence as it gives clear directions to your destination, so you will be relaxing with friends and family before you know it.
Plan before you go!
With a GPS device you can plan your trip in advance and add favourite stops to ensure that you make the most of your time away. A couple of touches on the screen allow you to add your hotel or bach and start navigating there in seconds. The route planner also allows you to time your trip to avoid traffic and get there on time.
Find local tourist attractions, restaurants, cafes and accommodation
GPS devices include thousands of points of interest that help make your trip more enjoyable. When you arrive in a new place, you can be directed to local restaurants, museums, accommodation, petrol stations, tourist attractions and more. The simplest way to get to a point of interest is to enter the name of the place and your GPS will direct you there. For example, if you are in Northland and wish to visit Ransom Wines, simply search for Ransom under wineries and navigate directly there. It's so easy!
Take the scenic route
If you wish to take the long way there (or home) the TomTom GPS constantly recalculates the best way to get to your destination, so if you decide to take the scenic route you can always find your way back to the main road. It will also show your favourite points of interest along the way, so if you decide to stop for a coffee or a bite to eat, you will always see the closest option.
Help is a touch screen away
If you are travelling in an area that is new to you, the Help Me! menu on all TomTom GPS units allows one-touch access to the nearest mechanic, doctor, police station, pharmacy, hospital and much more. If you need AA roadside help, one touch will let you describe your location and nearest cross street and AA Road Service will be on the way.
