Based on TomTom Telematics website, a company commited to fleet management,vehicle telematics and connected car services, introduces to us with its latest product TomTom PRO 7350. With its ability to connect users with your team through the "WEBFLEET subscription", you can access the necessary tools you need to get to your destination using the fastest, safest and the most efficient way.

One of its tools is the "award winning navigation and traffic" system which users can rely on for accurate information on the traffic to avoid them completely. The information it provides include congestions, closed roads, traffic lights, roundabouts and other road obstacles. The website mentions that with the availability of traffic conditions within reach, users can increase their productivity by pre-planning your route ahead and giving realistic estimated time of arrival to customers to keep them notified. Users do not have to worry about using an older version of the software as it is updating is simple through Wi-Fi. Clocking in for work and mileage can be easily done with just a simple tap.

Another aspect of the product is the capability of the "Advanced Lane Guidance" system that help users navigate through tricky junctions. With this, drivers can be alot more safer while travelling on the road. TomTom PRO 7350 outshines its previous product TomTom PRO 5350 with the addition of OptiDrive 360.

According to an abstract of "Accident Analysis & Prevention" by Mohamed Abdel-Aty, states that the behaviour of drivers is a "contributing factor to 90 percent of road crashes". As a result, it is crucial to identify drivers who engages in dangerous driving practices. OptiDrive 360 which is only compatible with TomTom Pro 7350, helps to improve driving behavior in real time by providing them with active driver feedbacks.
