GPS Business News: In an online chat with the French press , TomTom and Renault have unveiled more details about their common low-cost in-dash navigation system: Renault Carminat TomTom.
This navigation solution completely integrated into the dashboard will feature a non touch 5.8 inch display activated by a central command or a remote control (depending on the vehicle).
Unlike what many might have expected, this navigation device will not be connected in real-time. All online services will be available through a SD card and a computer software called Renault TomTom Home, the equivalent of the existing TomTom Home. Traffic information will be downloaded via RDS-TMC, where this service is available.
The first car to offer this navigation system will be the new Clio.
