Jeremy Clarkson tells you where to go

TomTom is currently offering a Top Gear themed satnav system. The system is available in Australia for $299 and includes a Jeremy Clarkson voice option (audio samples below). Also offered is a Stig “silent mode” although we rather think a better option may have been some of his choice tunes or an audio book, perhaps. More details from TomTom can be read after the break.

TomTom launches limited edition Top Gear satnav featuring The Stig and Clarkson

TomTom today launches the TomTom GO LIVE Top Gear edition, bringing fans a combination of a Stig mode, Jeremy Clarkson’s directions and unique Top Gear selected points of interest including race track and raceway locations related to the series.

Featuring TomTom’s congestion-busting HD Traffic technology, the new satnav will steer drivers through traffic jams and is packed with Top Gear features including start-up and shut-down screens and car icons. Drivers can choose to have The Stig mode, which renders the device instantly silent, or select Jeremy Clarkson’s voice to guide them.

“For Top Gear fans, this limited edition satnav is the ultimate driving companion. Featuring The Stig, Clarkson and TomTom HD Traffic, the GO LIVE Top Gear edition is perfect for drivers who love the open road,”said Corinne Vigreux, Managing Director at TomTom.

The LIVE Services bundle also includes the Speed Cameras service, providing mobile and fixed speed camera alerts, while TomTom Places local search helps to pinpoint shops and businesses in the area. QuickGPSfix gets you navigating in seconds and TomTom Weather gives local and five-day forecasts.
