Navigon MobileNavigator
This release adds Text-To-Speech and iPod controls as well as some other minor changes. The Text To Speech allows the road names to be included in the navigation instructions giving the driver more confidence in the manoeuvre they are making. The iPod controls are also a very welcome feature as previously although you could set the iPod playing in the background if the playlist or album ended then you had to exit the Navigation application to change the music.
Also included in this release are: Location sharing, and automatic day/night mode switching.

Since OS3.0 was released at the start of Summer there have been a steady stream of turn-by-turn navigation apps making their way through the AppStore. Starting off with Navigon and then Sygic, iGO, CoPilot and, most recently, TomTom there are a fair few to chose from. The guys over at PocketGPSWorld.com have been keeping on [...]
Since OS3.0 was released at the start of Summer there have been a steady stream of turn-by-turn navigation apps making their way through the AppStore. Starting off with Navigon and then Sygic, iGO, CoPilot and, most recently, TomTom there are a fair few to chose from.

We all knew it was coming but ‘when?’ was the $64million question. Spotted in the New Zealand iTunes App Store yesterday it seemed pretty clear that the launch had begun and at some time early this morning TomTom for iPhone finally materialised in the UK AppStore.
There isn’t a lot to add really, the interface looks very similar to that which was used on the TomTom Mobile App that used to exist and it features multi-touch integration making full use of iPhone gestures for operation and map zoom etc.
Navigation to address book contacts is also included as well as IQ routing. But notable by its omission is any form of LIVE connected services. This is a phone, a phone with out of the box data bundles and connectivity so why the heck has the opportunity to bundle the LIVE service features been omitted?
