TomTom Releases iPhone Navigation App

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the hit-the-road-tom dept.

andylim writes "Today TomTom released its long-awaited iPhone app that allows you to use your iPhone 3G and 3GS as a GPS navigation device. Recombu.com tested it out on video this morning and concluded that it works well but if you receive a call while you're driving then the app does cut out — it will restart once you've finished the conversation. The app costs £60 for the UK & Ireland version, £80 for western Europe, £45 for Australia and £60 for the US and Canada."

    Probably this one with [attempted] more usability than built-in one. The problem with either is that it's aGPS and accuracy is still making these not as usable as conventional GPS navs.

    You are an idiot. This maybe a bit harsh, but it is true. If you can't see the point of having all the map available to you at anytime, no matter where you are, then plainly put, you are an idiot.
