Coffee loyalists and sweet-tooth savvies can now breathe a sigh of relief. When desperate for a Dunkin’ Decaf, Boston Kreme Donut or Jamoca Almond Fudge ice cream, drivers can now tap their TomTom navigation systems and see Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin-Robbins logos as Points of Interest (POI) on the 3D map. Beginning today, fans of Dunkin’ Donuts’ famous coffee blend and 31 Flavors can locate and navigate to over 2,700 Baskin-Robbins nationally and 4,400 Dunkin’ Donuts outposts in 27 states using any of TomTom’s GPS products.

All TomTom products come already programmed with millions of POI’s including parking, gas stations, hotels and restaurants. TomTom’s personal navigation systems have optional audio and visual alerts to alert drivers as each POI approaches. To further enrich the navigation experience, drivers can even call POI locations ahead of time to make reservations or ask questions using their GO 700 and compatible Bluetooth(TM) cellular phone.

The Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin-Robbins logos are a downloadable POI option. To download the POI data file, TomTom customers can simply go to www.tomtom.com/plus and click on either, or both, of the downloadable POI sets.
