Tom Tom Application?

[ox-boy]

Has anyone got any news or info on a Tom Tom application be launched?

I heard its a strong possibility but want more concrete evidence?

i sure it happens

That would be an awesome application. The GPS on this phone is underestimated and doesn't provide useful applications at this time. Even the Google maps app is not as proficient as I'd like.

I have been trying to find more concrete information on a TomTom or Garmin App but nothing has turned up yet. The last I heard it was in the works but there is no word as to a release date unfortunately.

Well, we're not even at the rumor stage yet.

At least a few rumors.

I am def waiting this app. I hope it will not be a pay per use or per month type of app though. Id pay for the initial app for sure though. One reason I bought the wife the iPhone as well.

I would much rather have a Garmin App, but will take what I can get. So far I have found the GPS to be really good in my area, but I would love to have voice.

I get the feeling it is going to be a pay app. With maps the way they currently are, you have to access the internet to be able to use them. Try using your GPS in an area without internet or in airplane mode......

Therefore, in order to keep from using a gig or two on your iPhone, any GPS app will likely be the same way. So you will never need to pay $69 to $150 to update your maps every two years. They should be updated themselves. And like others have mentioned, there are endless possibilities to what could be added to the maps of a GPS program, such as user recommended restaurants, warnings, even real time accident data, if it is all using the internet.

So even though I see one being Pay for use, I am hoping it will have crazy options we never have really thought of before. Of course, it all depends on service from AT&T again which really throws a problem in there lol

I had this discussion at a poker table last night. I said while it's cool to have the GPS, it's pretty much useless now. Google maps works OK, but it's useless when driving, since you have to keep looking at the screen.
