iPhone GPS navigation from TomTom
Jun 8, 2009 gps navigation, phones, tomtom
Two names that we keep talking about are finally together. Today at Apple’s WWDC TomTom’s GPS navigation application for the iPhone was announced – along with an accessory kit that charges your iPhone, includes speaker and microphone for hands free calling, and even enhances GPS reception (possibly) by providing its own GPS receiver.
First check out the video:
TomTom GPS navigation application for iPhone will be able to provide turn-by-turn directions and of course the specially designed car kit will be able play the voice instructions through its own speakers.
We do not know how much the TomTom app will cost but we know it’ll include the latest maps.
Want to guess how much this will cost?
And now check out the pictures:

I hope that the maps are downloadable to the iPhone and not OTA like TeleNav. I also hope that you dont really need a strong cell signal for it to work correctly.
As far as price, it can go two ways.
One. The app will cost $9 or $20 but the maps will cost you over $100, plus update services, plus traffic, plus the gas app, etc.
Two. It will run just like TeleNav and will just be a subscription base, OTA GPS service. You would get everything for one monthly fee. However, you will need a cell signal at all times to get maps and other services.
