Sept. 16, 2004 – An Amsterdam-based provider of personal navigation devices has selected MEMSIC Inc.’s thermal accelerometers to help determine travel distance in a car-based product, according to a company news release.

TomTom BV will use North Andover, Mass.-based MEMSIC’s sensors in its TomTom GO, a navigation system with software, maps and global positioning satellite capabilities. The MEMS device will be activated when the GPS signal is lost in places such as a tunnel or parking structure. TomTom GO provides navigation in 16 western European nations.
