TomTom Go Live 1535m

GPS maker TomTom has announced its new TomTom Go Live 1535m GPS system, which the company claims is the first portable navigation device to ship with a suite of popular travel applications. Out of the box, the device wil ship with integrated apps for Twitter, Yelp, Expedia, and TripAdvisor, making it easier for travelers to get information they need—like restaurant locations and reviews, hotel information, weather forecasts, and fuel prices—while they’re on the road.

“By giving people the most up-to-date traffic details as well as relevant local content provided by travel apps, TomTom is bringing a new level of connectivity to drivers by providing information in the most effective platform available,” said TomTom president Tim Roper, in a statement.

The TomTom Go Live 1535m features a 5-inch touchscreen, voice recognition with one-step address entry, Bluetooth hands-free calling, and advanced lane guidance. Depending on the country where users buy the device, customers can subscribe to TomTom HD Traffic for up-to-date traffic information—the service includes primary and secondary roads in the United States, and can recalculate routes based on new traffic data. The Go Live 1535m comes with maps of the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, along with up to four map updates per year until the devices “useful life” is over.

TomTom says the Go Live 1535m will be available in October with a suggested retail price of $249, which includes 12 months of TomTom Live services. Folks who already have the Go Live 2535m will be able to download the apps to their devices sometime this fall.

CES 2023: HD Hyundai’s Avikus is an A.I. for autonomous boat and marine navigation

This content was produced in partnership with HD Hyundai.
Autonomous vehicle navigation technology is certainly nothing new and has been in the works for the better part of a decade at this point. But one of the most common forms we see and hear about is the type used to control steering in road-based vehicles. That's not the only place where technology can make a huge difference. Autonomous driving systems can offer incredible benefits to boats and marine vehicles, too, which is precisely why HD Hyundai has unveiled its Avikus AI technology -- for marine and watercraft vehicles.

More recently, HD Hyundai participated in the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, to demo its NeuBoat level 2 autonomous navigation system for recreational boats. The name mashes together the words "neuron" and "boat" and is quite fitting since the Avikus' A.I. navigation tech is a core component of the solution, it will handle self-recognition, real-time decisions, and controls when on the water. Of course, there are a lot of things happening behind the scenes with HD Hyundai's autonomous navigation solution, which we'll dive into below -- HD Hyundai will also be introducing more about the tech at CES 2023.

There's a scene in Mission Impossible 3 that you might recall. In it, our hero Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) tackles the movie's villain, holds him at gunpoint, and forces him to read a bizarre series of sentences aloud.

"The pleasure of Busby's company is what I most enjoy," he reluctantly reads. "He put a tack on Miss Yancy's chair, and she called him a horrible boy. At the end of the month, he was flinging two kittens across the width of the room ..."
