The last we saw of the TomTom car kit came in the form of a nice promo video that at the time was a tease, and now with the latest news of a delay, that tease has been continued.
The news comes courtesy of the TomTom website, and is noted as being due to wanting to deliver the “highest quality” product.
The TomTom car kit availability was originally planned for this summer. But we have decided to take some extra weeks in order to deliver the highest quality on this innovative product. So, the car kit will become available this October on www.tomtom.com.
I see this car kit as one of those items that people generally seem interested in, but with delays, that interest could easily fade. Personally, I would be happy to wait, even past October if I knew how much it would set me back if I choose to make a purchase. Unfortunately, it looks like we have no option other than sit back and wait.

First time user and I like it. Did some research and found this one to be the best for what I needed. I like the fact that this has life time updates.

In the past I’d print out maps and directions from mapping programs to find my way to new places. In the last year, those directions failed me twice, once when I was try to get to a critical business meeting. That convinced me. After a lot of research I chose the Garmin Nuvi 780. I’ve had it for a little over a month. I should have bought one of these a long time ago. The screen is crystal clear and easy to read both day and night (the night view sort of looks like a photo negative) and voice directions are easy to understand even though some of the street names are not pronounced correctly. There are some quirks in the map programming but I’ve found the same quirks using other mapping programs so it’s not unique to Garmin. The response time lags reality by a second or two. When I come to a stop the Nuvi continues show some forward speed for up to 2 seconds and when turning a corner there’s a second or two delay in reorienting the map. These are not problems, just observations. Although the Nuvi is a bit pricy if I had to buy another one i’d get the same one. I highly recommend it.
