Can I use my LIVE device for browsing the web?
What is the difference between using Local search with Google and searching in the TomTom Points of Interest set?

Can I use my LIVE device for browsing the web?

Unfortunately not. The new TomTom LIVE devices only enable customers to find locations through Google search. The build-in connectivity only serves to find and navigate to addresses and cannot be used to browse the web.

What is the difference between using Local search with Google and searching in the TomTom Points of Interest set?

The Google local search database is much more extensive than our own POI sets, so we can now provide our customers with even more added-value content:

The Google database covers much more locations compared to the POI set on TomTom’s Maps of Western Europe
With the POI search you are limited to search in fixed categories, with Google you can search for anything
Google search results come with ratings to easily compare the results
For Google search results additional information (like opening times etc.) can be requested.
