TomTom for iPhone app getting more features

9 October 2009 23:06 GMT / By Stuart Miles

TomTom has said that it plans to bring a number of new features to its TomTom for iPhone app in the near future as free upgrades to those who have already paid for the app.

Although the iPhone app already comes with IQ Routes, Advanced Lane Guidance and an updated safety camera database, other features will be added.

"I can confirm that these upgrades will feature Advanced Lane Guidance and an updated safety camera database amongst other features…", a spokeswomen for the company told Pocket-lint.

Furthermore our lady in the know said that the company was working to bring its HD Traffic system to the iPhone app, allowing users to check traffic details on the go via the built-in mobile phone connection.

The news comes as those who have bought the App await the availability of the iPhone Car kit from the satnav company.

Recently announced, it will cost £99.

  • TomTom are a complete joke, way way late to market and not even competitively priced.

    Who on earth would pay for this when you can get an entire sat nav system for about £100??? Deffo targeting stupid people.     Posted by Iain, Scotland
  • or targeting people with money to blow only poor people moan and people with sence Posted by big glutes, yU.cK
  • I have an iPhone, why do I want that and a portable satnav device as well? iPhone does both and well so far. Posted by Matt, Australia
  • Wait until feb 2010 when there will be a price drop and software bundle. Posted by ttinsider, NL
  • targetting frequent travellers who don't want to carry around multiple devices and cables. The iphone with it's cradle is ideal for travelling. The cradle is smaller than a standard satnav cradle and charges the phone at the same time.
    Overpriced ? Yes. for stupid people or people with too much money. No. Very short sighted of you to think this....     Posted by Sean, Germany
