Re: tomtom for iphone

[Eugene]

Pedro, I have to disagree with you on this one. I don't have the TomTom but do use the Sygic alternative. It, like the TomTom, uses the internal GPS and has proved very accurate. It doesn't use downloaded information from cell towers. As for the voice navigation. The Sygic uses voice direction but does not have a synthesiser to actually pronounce the street names. I think the TomTom is the same.                       Regards,                       Eugene                    On 11/09/2009, at 4:08 PM, Pedro wrote: Hi Genevieve Thank you, I have had a FANTASTIC day  Yes there is voice control on the TomTom for iPhone (quite a few)  http://iphone.tomtom.com/en-us/guided-tour.html I would think twice though before shelling out for a nav app for the iPhone.  The GPS part of the phone does not work very well and will have to rely on cell towers for its information. So unless you have a large (and cheap) data allowance you would be better of with a stand alone GPS unit. One saving grace for the TomTom is the car kit, which hasn't been releases yet, will have a extra GPS chip to help out. If anyone on the list has a new GPS app I would ask they try it out with the phone in airplane mode to see if it works regards  Pedro On 11/09/2009, at 12:50 PM, Genevieve Armson wrote: Does the tom tom app for iphone come with voice or is it just the onscreen directions?
