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."

    Ooo, ooo, I want to pile-on the dumb post!

    iPhone 3G and newer have GPS chips in them. Only the first generation iPhone uses cell towers to figure out its position!

    Woo! Now I get a redundant mod!

    How does Slashdot formatting turn "100 MB" into "1GB"? Sounds to me like you were trying to distance yourself from an embarassing, ill-informed, rant.

    I don't blame you.
