“When we took our first look at the TomTom app for iPhone, it seemed like a perfectly competent helper for getting from points A-to-B,” Antuan Goodwin reports for CNET. “But, we couldn’t help but notice that a few of our favorite GPS navigation features were notably absent–particularly TTS [text-to-speech] instructions and graphic lane guidance.”
“Well, there’s good news for users of the TomTom app in the form of a free update that adds these missing features, and a few more,” Goodwin reports.
“Also included in this update are a free map update and the inclusion of a safety camera database update,” Goodwin reports.

Now if I could only get my hands on one of these puppies….

text-to-speech – Finally!
Just ordered the TomTom Car Kit.
Ya I know – I could’ve bought a dedicated GPS unit for less than the app and car kit, but that would go against my goal of giving as much money as I can to Apple.

As an APPL stockholder I thank you.

As my MacPro, twin 30 displays, 3 iMacs and 4 iPhones suggest – I have no problem buying Apple merchandise.
The apps of TomTom are way too expansive. Google’s answer will probably bankrupt that firm.
App works well but hard crashes after a three hour trip. Works again when it reboots. Repeatable even after reformat. So I hope they fix this bug too. Love it and use it constantly.
Just ordered my Car Kit too.. I was very interested in the other features included, hands free calling, music/video connection (works in my vehicle with a cheap cable), and charger. A GOOD GPS device will cost you much more than $200 and I think this will be a good GPS device (with the built in GPS boost included). We’ll see!

I would hope that all GPS systems are expansive. Wouldn’t be very useful if they weren’t.
Looks like iPhoner whipped out his giant apple cock. Everyone impressed?
I am very impressed. If my apple cock were that big, I wouldn’t wear pants!!!
I’m still a happy daily user of my original 2G iPhone. Will be upgrading end of Dec 09. Just curious, does anyone know if this Tom Tom GPS app run (well) on the 2G?
Thanks.
