TomTom has whipped the covers off three new portable GPS devices â€” the One, XL and Go 930 â€” as well as announcing the availability of traffic messaging by the end of July.
This should make life easier for emergency service crews attending incidents especially incidents outside their general area. If there's roadworks or something similair hopefully they can avoid the traffic backup a bit easier. A pity not available in Perth yet, but it's only a matter of time!

May not have been tiredness related. Could have been a heart attack or mechanical failure or even force majeure.
