acnpt Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Here is the review:http://www.gpsreview.net/tomtom-app-review/ Same happened to me with the 'no voice prompts', it's when the tom tom volume is turned down. You can change the volume by going onto a map, then touching the status bar, which turns into a volume control. I love the Cantonese voice :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/812226-tomtom-iphone-app-released/page/2/#findComment-591463970 Share on other sites More sharing options...
]SK[ Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 5 hrs of driving yesterday. In total my iPhone managed to get a GPS signal.... not once. TomTom just reports a Poor GPS Reception constantly. Pulled out my TomTom One and before I managed to finish punching in the Post Code it had a signal. The GPS receiver in the iPhone is very very poor. TomTom I guess know this hence creating this external jacket? I think there is something more of an issue though with my phone as to not get a signal once in 5 hours is somewhat a joke.

Wannes Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 How is that external car holder coming along? A buddy of mine wants to buy all-in-one.

Pulled out my TomTom One and before I managed to finish punching in the Post Code it had a signal. I used it earlier for 40mins in a punto, and only lost signal once whilst going under alot of trees. I guess the mount will have a better GPS receiver, and a compass.

Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted October 13, 2009 Global Moderator Share Posted October 13, 2009 You should get the app+car kit for $99.99. No way would I spend $200 for a gps on my iPhone Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/812226-tomtom-iphone-app-released/page/2/#findComment-591697594 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplySchizo Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 It's NOT worth it. (pickup any standalone in store for a better deal) This isn't even that good. A little research and i'm sure you'll find Navigon to be the superior of the two. Way better priced too. The tomtom car kit is nice, but nowhere near worth an extra $100. That's just insane and straight up ripoff.

IceBreakerG Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I can agree, the Navigon app is a very nice GPS app for the iPhone. With the newest update, it says street names now too, do that definitely makes it even nicer than it was before.

thealexweb Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 What's the price cut, I presume there's been one, I'm not gonna pay $100 when Google can provide a potentially better service for free.
