Neverlost: Pays for Tomtom in 50 days
July 12th, 2009After 50 days of Hertz Neverlost, TomTom pays for itself.
The nominal daily fee for a Hertz NeverLost navigation system rental is $12.99 (USA), $15.99 (Canadian), or £14.00 (UK)(+VAT).
(taxes extra — 18% in Texas; have to check on the UK price)
The Tomtom GO 940 Live retails £399, or $656.70 (USD); After 50 days, the daily $12.99 cost has totaled $649.50. The 51st day pays it off. That’s 43 days in Texas, 29 days in UK.
Tomtom has a recurring charge for the updates; don’t misunderstand, Tomtom is building a business module incorporating a steady flow of payments. Still, at $12.99 per day, Hertz is building a bigger daily runrate business, and they obviously don’t give the same level of technology as the GO 940 Live.

Hello world!
July 4th, 2009Welcome to my automated travel blog. This blog is automatically updated with a pull of various sources of travel information. Initially, it’ll just be a Loopt feed, but I’ll circulate in my DR-travel and such when I can.
The old travel.b.chickenandporn.com was killed when my server took a hit.
My DR blog was similarly CRUSHED.
