This is TomTom’s new GO 630 GPS navigation device that is available exclusively at RadioShack. TomTom’s GO 630 features the MapShare function that allows users to update or update their own map or download maps created by other users.

Conclusion:
Overall, this is a very nice, windshield mounted GPS navigation system. The ability to make your own corrections, share with others, and receive corrections is awesome. The feature to plot a course based on when you’re driving is very nice, especially if conditions change as your driving, it can suggest alternatives. This is much more than “just a GPS” compared to the other 2 I’ve had (Garman Street Pilot C130 and Magellan Maestro 4070). TomTom seems to be really on the ball with milking as much out of it as possible and going even further by opening it up to developers. I’m gunna download the SDK and play around with it. I will report back on that after I’ve written an app. The more I use this thing, the more I like it.
I just bought this unit yesterday at Best Buy for $219.00 !!
As of today (1 Aug 09) You can get this model either at Amazon or TomTom site for under 250.00
Yeah and?
When this was first released (like a year ago) it was an R-Shack exclusive
I saw this model at Best Buy on 7/13/09 for $318.99
