TomTom, the Netherlands-based navigation service provider, has announced that it has teamed up with Google Maps to enable its customers to send information directly from the Google Maps website to TomTom devices.

TomTom customers will be allowed to transfer business addresses from Google Maps to TomTom devices through the ‘send to GPS’ option. Google Maps local search pages have expanded their ‘Send to’ feature with the option ‘send to GPS’.

With this, users can avoid downloading zip files. Information can be sent to other TomTom devices through the Home software, which the company provides to customers for free.

TomTom Home is a desktop application that manages, updates and sends data to the company’s devices via a PC or Apple Mac. Once the data is stored in Home, it can be transferred to TomTom’s Go and One devices via Bluetooth or wired connection.
