Navigating Through Jakarta Streets with TomTom

Have you ever read the book “Why Men Don’t Listen and Women Can’t Read Maps” that triggered hundreds of articles in women’s magazines about the differences of the two sexes? No? Well, me neither :D. But I think ever since that book was released more than 10 years ago, there seemed to be a common misconception about women’s inability to read maps. And as someone who drives everywhere almost all her adult life, and also someone who often travels solo to foreign places, I beg to differ!

I don’t have any problems reading map – yes real maps, not Google maps! – but of course, nowadays, it’s not very practical to carry a map around wherever you go. Also, when driving alone, I find it to be a nuisance to pull over often to check for routes. Software like Google Maps can be a solution, but still, when traveling solo, I’d rather have something that I can set in advance which then can guide me to my destinations without me having to fiddle with my phone again. Yes, exactly what a GPS device does!

I was extremely thrilled when I got the chance to try a Tomtom Car Navigation device. Before this, I have tried one car navigation device before (I forgot the brand) and I found it to be really helpful that I was thinking of buying one. But my experience with Tomtom is even miles better than the previous one!

TomTom is the world’s leading supplier of in-car location and navigation products and services. Headquartered in Amsterdam, TomTom was founded in 1991 and now sells its products in over 40 countries. They have a wide range of products and services, but in Indonesia, they launched 5 products: VIA 220, VIA 260, VIA 280, GO 2050 and GO 2050 World.
