never needed a GPS nav, never going to. Can read maps so easily. Dont need stupid arrows on a little screen! Selling this info, sounds exactly like what a company would do.
Aye... that's insulting to their customers. Bad thing is, it was probably people going somewhere for the first time (thus the GPS) and didn't know the speed limits on the roads.
It seems like more and more companies do things like this, and then people are actually surprised. The purpose of these companies isn't to help the consumer, it is to make money for the shareholders. After they sell data, old users have already paid for the product, and new users are immediately reassured by the timely press release.
Basically, if you own a TomTom GPS and you got a ticket in a speed trap...it was your own data that busted you!

Scumbags they didn't know, just like xerox about these little spots on their print that allowed FBI to identify each machine.

It just seems like every company these days will screw every consumer for some money...
I agree with Laser. Some of the things that these people do to screw people over is beyond reason.
pretty unacceptable
Bad times TomTom.

Wow. That's pretty... Well... Efficient. But still lame, considering I'm sure they didn't have the buyer's consent.

First IPhone sends msg to Apple about your GPS position.
Now TomTom sends msg to police about speed.
What next? That sux ;/
pretty much, all the information in the world today will really fuck you up hard.
Now that's just dirty
:( corporate whores
what a dick
Can't trust anyone these days.
That's kinda messed up. I use a TomTom GPS, guess I helped =p
They only sold anonymous information, no ones gonna get busted.
Shouldn't have agreed to the terms & conditions without reading it first haha.
