TomTom for iPhone is out
Discussion
Looks pretty good too!
Interestingly, I read that the software will also work on first generation iPhones and iPod touches via an alternative Tomtom hardware kit that will contain its own GPS receiver.
All of western Europe = £79.99
UK & Ireland = £59.99
Im not sure what the hardware kits will cost though..

What about copilot . . . . £25
huh? What is copilot? Tomtom don't appear to make it. Maybe you need to start a separate Copilot thread?PhantomHumper said:
Rumour is that to get the dock for your car will cost a further £50-£60
Yes, I read something along those lines also. But it appears there will be 2 kinds. 1 of which will have its own GPS receiver built in. No doubt this will cost more..P,
Hmmm....I'm not so sure about TomTom any more.
It's €99.99 for the Western European maps and this doesn't include the hardware. Navigon includes all the Western maps plus the Eastern ones too (highly useful as I live in Austria), for €79.99.
Plus once you've paid for the software, there's another €129.95 to pay for the cradle!!! That's €230 all in and hardly good value!!!!!
I'm severely disappointed!
It's either navigon or a dedicated GPS unit with bluetooth so I can hook my iPhone up wirelessly I think......

Until the iPhone can run more than one app at once, what's the point...? As soon as you answer a call the nav goes up it's own arris. Buy a separate nav from Lidl or Aldi for about 50 quid and use the iPhone for making calls and fannying about...
It can - Apple just won't allow it for most (read non-apple) apps.I guess the call will come up, tom-tom will save state information and when the call is finished the app will restart and try to work out where it is.
If there was a turning there, you've missed it....
Suspect I'm looking at co-pilot and an 8 quid ebay cradle.

£50 with UK and Western European mapping. Simples.
Just incase anyone is going to buy this, Clintons are currently doing 2 x £15 iTunes vouchers for £20, effectively bringing the price down of TomTom/ Navigon to £40 or Co-Pilot to £20. Link here - http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/462141/2x-15-itunes... Likely to go out of stock quickly!
sorely tempted by it but cant find any reviews on youtube to see what its like.Likewise, seems very good value for money compared to the others.
