TomTom announced that it is teaming up with Google Maps, enabling users the ability to search for and send business addresses directly from the Google Maps' Website to TomTom devices.

"The ability to search, find and send information from the Web to a TomTom is something we have been investing in for some time now. We are pleased to work together with Google Maps on this personalization functionality," said Eric Pité, vice president of Product Management at TomTom. "This cooperation represents a major step for TomTom in meeting the growing demands of our customers for personalized content for their TomTom devices."

As part of the partnership, Google Maps local search pages have expanded their Send to feature with the option Send to GPS. The selected information is transferred to the TomTom device when the device is connected to the Internet via TomTom HOME, the free software application TomTom offers its customers. Drivers can then navigate to their new destination, as well as view the location on the map of the TomTom device or save it as a favorite on the device for later use.

TomTom users can benefit from this new partnership, without needing to download any new application to their devices.
