How do i enter the address in my address book so that my TomTom can recognise it??

Great app works like a TomTom device except with iPhone control which I like it better.

NB: the iPhone GPS will not work under a building.

I have used both and I thought I would add my thoughts.

Sygic lets you plan multiple destinations trips and I think has slightly cleaner maps.

Tomtom has better voice instructions and you can use contact addresses.

I have the TomTom Australia. (cost less than NZ). VERY accurate with the latest maps!! when no GPS signal, just needs to hold up on dashboard.

I gotta say i am a little ticked off with this APP…everything works great but the maps are about a year and a half out of date…loads of roadworks were done in my area of Auckland well over a year ago now and all are still shown in there old states.

Still a useful app but to release this with out of date maps and still charge over $100 is pretty low…we better get free map upgrades!

I use the DLO Vent as well and no problems with GPS lock. Occassional lose position but no very often. Have you tried a reset and or restore??
Another thing is to get a good fix 1st-ie stand in one place for a while.
But if your main map app is ok then its prob not this issue

ok, to clarify i realised iphone holder http://is.gd/2lULG appears to nullify the gps, works fine with it in my lap even inside car, but when i place back in the holder no good. so not tomtom's fault after all! What holders are you guys using, any recommendations?

kpatton most gps problems have to do with position of your iphone. It MUST have a good view of the sky. Best is on your front windscreen. If its down on your console the metal roof will block it. Good luck Roger.

Hmmm on second thoughts…. most of the info on that support site seems to be about other platforms, despite specifying that you're talking about TomTom for iPhone.

That is very weird… I would contact TomTom support here: http://us.support.tomtom.com/cgi-bin/tomtom_us.cf…

all i get are 'Waiting for GPS Signal' flashing constantly, very occasionally it locks on but it's very intermittment.

(kpatton has made 5 comments)

google maps and compass working fine. Everything is on (wifi and 3g etc.) and tomtom cannot find gps.

(kpatton has made 5 comments)

Hmmm kpatton that's odd. The device is just using your iPhone's existing GPS capabilities, it is not responsible for the lock. Did you possibly have it sat somewhere where it wasn't getting good line of site to the sky? Also – sounds weird, but make sure you don't have wifi set to 'off' – I have found that GPS is not very accurate with wifi set to 'off' (rather than just not connected). Don't know why.

erm, doesn't actually work? bought it last night, drove from meadowbank to ponsonby, locked on then didn't get a signal the whole way, tried restarting and full power down and off. Using latest iphone 3GS with 3.0.1 firmware. i didn't expect it to fail quite as badly as this…

@ iPhonewzealand we use the DLO VentMount which is available from MagnumMac stores

@aidanhill, you use the tomtom with that? just to confirm;)

(kpatton has made 5 comments)

I'll be interested to see what comments get left here and on itunes regarding this product. I paid for the Sygic mobile GPS and it certainly needs a update, whether or not I then pay for the TomTom is another thing. I know Sygic is doing an update and if they are small will release it now! Regarding mounts and I don't work for this company, but I got this:

Its brilliant, sticks on the dash on my BMW and is just the ticket for the iphone. Check it out.

(aidanhill has made 20 comments)

so i wonder if the tom tom mount is just a mount or if it's got any app specific features. otherwise it might be cheaper to get the sygic app and the tom tom mount…

It comes out of the app as normal and then takes you back in where you left off.

(Daniel Burgess has made 613 comments)

I agree with the review.

I havnt used the competitor so I can't comment on that !!

Wonder how often we will get updates and we will need to find a way to let tomtom know about map updates for instance .

1 question:

What happens when you receive a call while the app is on?

(an@rchos has made 15 comments)

Many thanks for the early review! Probably among the first in the world!

I’ve left a link in the MacRumors forum. Expect lots of traffic soon!
