If you’ve been following the news for iPhone GPS Apps then you already know about TomTom iPhone GPS navigation app. It was announced when iPhone 3GS was announced but since then we haven’t heard anything new about TomTom’s plans.
People at Macworld had a chance to interview VP of Marketing Development for TomTom and cleared out some questions we had about TomTom’s iPhone GPS navigation solution.
What’s unique about TomTom is that their iPhone GPS navigation solution is two parts. The actual iPhone app and the car kit. You should note that the car kit part is completely optional and you can get directions and everything without it. However the car kit really enhances your navigation experiences and turn your iPhone into a true standalone GPS navigation system.
As we mentioned when it first came out the car kit will include its own GPS receiver for better reception. That’s one. Plus it will have its own speakers so you don’t have to rely on wimpy iPhone speakers. That’s two. It’ll charge your iPhone and it will also mount it on your windshield. That’s three and four. Oh and a couple more things: You can use the available audio out to listen to your music and directions from your car stereo (your car has aux-in right?) and the microphone to use it as a handsfree kit. That’s a lot of little helpful things packed into one car kit!
Another nice feature is that your iPhone’s contact list will be available from the TomTom app interface so you’ll be able to navigate to that person’s address quickly without having to copy paste the address details.
However still no news on when or for how much… Any guesses?… via
