TomTom N.V. has incorporated Global Locate's Hammerhead GPS solution and software into TomTom's portable navigation device, TomTom ONE. Hammerhead, the industry's first single-die, single-chip GPS solution, according to Global Locate, will begin shipping worldwide in the TomTom ONE this month. In addition, Global Locate's patented extended ephemeris technology — Long Term Orbit — will be available through TomTom's exclusive QuickGPSfix service to further enhance the navigation performance of the company's devices.
Global Locate's host-based GPS architecture approach means that both the TomTom software application and the GPS chip and navigation software application share the same processor resources. The result is a highly integrated product that delivers superior turn-by-turn navigation performance for users. The host-based approach reduces system redundancy, avoiding the need for multiple CPUs, memory system, and other costly components.
