TomTom iPhone Ver 1.1 - Minor Fixes

TomTom has released a minor update for the iPhone - it is free. The update mainly deals with left over from the first launch and not the awaited upgrade that blows out some functionality. Unfortunately, the entire 1.2GB update is needed. The TomTom iPhone ver 1.1 App includes:

Enhanced GPS Technology:

  • Shows your location on the map with greater precision
  • Follows your car more accurately while you drive

    New Navigate to Contact Engine:

  • Handles many more address formats including abbreviations
  • Better supports US addresses


    What a lot of people that I talk to are hoping for is the upgrade that includes:

  • Text to Speech - says road names
  • Lane Guidance - shows which lane you should be in when coming to a complex highway interchange
  • Optional traffic coverage - uses the connected nature of the iPhone to collect very detailed traffic news and offers back intelligent route offerings.

    I expect these features to be offered sooner than later.
