Translucent Nav bar+ on some units

[Harry6]

On a TomTom website I came across a picture of a unit with translucent navigation panels as well as some other nice improvements. It appears to be a collaboration of sorts between Tomtom and Sony for an in-car nav / entertainment unit, but the picture is of the Tomtom navigation screen.

It would be nice if TT would bring this improved screen over to it's other units. I think the translucent nav panels make far better use of the screen real estate. Removing the giant signal strength indicator is sensible, as is the redesign and repositioning of other nav bar elements.

Have a look at the the Go-1000/ 1005 for Europe or the Go-1000/ 1005 or the VIA devices.

They might look nice but remember beauty is often only skin deep - Mike

Yup, certainly got it on my Go1000.
You can just about see it on all the box shots for the new models on the TT website.

That translucent screen is a feature of app 10.x. All devices that run app 10.x can be seen here.

Do this think this screen layout is likely to become a feature of the firmware for devices now running the 9.x app such as the XXL 540 series?

I doubt you'll ever see an application upgrade for that model. Especially one including that type of status bar.
