TomTom is stepping up its GPS navigation device catalog with two new Pro series models: the 7100 and 9100.

Covering over 1.2 million miles of roads across 45 European countries, the Pro series devices are geared more for commercial vehicle fleets.

Some of the useful features include advanced lane guidance, hands-free calling and text-to-speech. TomTom has also upgraded the user interface as well as route guidance and calculations.

The Pro 9100 is slightly higher-end as it is connected directly to WebFleet thanks to the integrated SIM card and modem.

Set to launch during the fourth quarter of 2010, the The Pro 7100 will retail for €329/£279 ($441), while the Pro 9100 will ring up for €399/£349 ($535).

RE: TomTom Pro 7100 and 9100 GPS devices cover 45 European countries

I don't care about a new product launch - what I do care about is map updates that reflect current roadway changes. I have sent these guys numerous notifications about new roads being built and they still have not updated their maps. Even after these roads have been completed for upwards of 5 years. Get your act together, it shouldn't take that long to update the map - Microsoft Streets and Trips has had the additions updated, Google Earth and Bing Maps all are updated. I don't know about other dedicated GPS device manufacturers map updates but TomTom is just abismal in their updates.
