跟人家辯了一陣，還是沒有結論！
到底是該念『通．通』？
還是『透．透』？
或是『湯姆．湯姆』？
亦或是『燙．燙』？

2001
In 2001, Harold Goddijn became the fourth full partner.
As former CEO of Psion, he added the necessary breadth of vision to grow the company on the one hand, and focus it on the other. A new name was needed to show our new focus, and we decided we liked the name TomTom. TomTom used all its strengths to making the the first truly mobile in-car navigation solution, TomTom Navigator. TomTom Navigator became a huge success.
Why "TomTom"?
Some experts say that language may have begun with drumming, and simple drums like the double-headed Native American tom-tom and the talking drums of Africa, have always been used for signaling, imitating the pitch patterns of language and transmitting messages over many miles. Just like us. And like TomTom products, the tom-tom is simple but versatile, reliable and fun to use.

解釋及發音 Dr.Eye :
Tom-Tom 發音
解釋及發音 Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary :
** 以上Tom-Tom解釋以Wikipedia 及 Cambridge 為準.
而Dr.Eye 的 "2. 鑼" 應該為Tam-Tam, 所以是錯的.

根據漢音字典的發音(問學校的英文老師)~還有一些電子真人發音字典的聲音
"tomtom"都以"湯.湯"有點小捲舌發音喔!!
但小龍還是覺得"痛.痛"是可以啦!
知識和經驗是需要勤快的去探索嘗試而得來的,沒有一樣產品是萬能的,只有你才是萬能的~共勉之!
TomTom與雙手標誌，成為品牌視覺重點
TomTom唸起來是不是音近“咚咚”呢？原來品牌名稱取為TomTom可是大有來頭！在沒有手機的原始部落，當地族人只能利用擊鼓所產生的聲音，以最短的時間，尋獲迷失同伴的回應，靈感由此而生 ─雙手擊鼓傳遞訊息，就如同汽車導航引導駕駛以最短的時間與路徑，正確、安全順利地抵達目的地。於是利用紅色雙手環抱，以充滿關懷與愛的信念，溝通溢於言表，拉近人與人之間的幸福距離。因此今日特別在登台之際，提出『TomTom在手，幸福上手』的品牌宣言。
所以TomTom是擬聲字，我聽過歐洲的友人唸過，是念『咚咚』，並非tom tom喔！
不過，還是有美國的友人念tom tom，荷蘭的友人還是聽的懂
