When the GO LIVE 1000 was first shown in Amsterdam at the end of April and then formally launched with the GO 1005 (5" screen) at the end of September in Europe, the question was "when will it make it to North America ?"...the wait is over as they were announced yesterday as the GO 2405 and GO 2505...except that the is no LIVE connected feature (HD Traffic, Google Local, Weather, etc...) !
At this point it's anyone's guess why this feature is missing, but one has to assume that TomTom were not able to strike a deal with a US carrier to use their network and also collect data for their HD Traffic service. This is likely going to make it difficult for the new systems on the market, especially since the new platform they use is "closed", at least for now, with the removal of the popular POI import feature. You can use the TomTom GO 2405, 2505 (USA) with MyTomTom
