TomTom continues to amaze me
by Volker Weber
TomTom has just announced new versions of their ONE and ONE XL devices. And they seem to have improved on their already excellent screen mounts again. If this thing works, it must be the least intrusive screen mount ever.

Looks like a nice powerful loudspeaker at the back too.
Looks interesting. I just wonder if the "least intrusiveness" would put the device "just too far away" when using it in the Bully.
They have to improve these things as it's a total pain in the ass to clip it on and off each time you park up.
I'm still a big fan on integrated sat nav, no opportunists will try and steal it.
@Ben: but the professionals will. Especially when it´s an expensive one. OTOH, all mobile ones like the TomToms have a similar risk for the "casual" thief - drug addicts or alike. At least in Germany, this has increased a lot - especially when people leave device in the car. Also when the screen mount is left, as the device could be somewhere in the car. Thefts of car radios is not so much an issue compared to a few years backl, but now theft of GPS is.
@Armin - When I said integrated, I meant factory fit...people don't steal it without the car.
That may be true for Toyota, but not for Mercedes, BMW, or Audi. Those systems do get stolen. A lot.
Maybe no market for a stolen Toyota GPS so they have to take also the car?
