TomTom have recently announced that they have teamed up with Apple to make a Sat Nav ap for the every popular iPhone?

No, is the short answer here. This is coming to the iPhone for around £60 which is not cheap at all. Of course the friendly woman telling you where to go is present here but what on earth happens if you recieve a telephone call when you are concentrating on the directions. Does the nice Sat Nav lady simply say “please stop here while you take the call” as you frantically answer “BUT I’M IN THE MIDDLE OF A MOTORWAY!!!Every invention has its flaws and this one is no different.

The price isn’t exactly nice either; you can get a decent Sat Nav for cheaper that will do more than this extra application. Is it not just promoting you to look at your mobile phone when you are driving your nice, soon to be wrecked (if you are constantly looking at your phone) Honda orVolkswagen?

Of course all of this could be just a little bit more hype for the iPhone? Other mobile phones have been able to do this for many years, what makes the one on the iPhone any better in any way at all? It isnt in any way at all. It is more of an added bonus to existing iPhone owners rather than a product buying piece of software which is what makes it worth having.

It doesn’t matter what car you have, or even if you are thinking of getting used cars it can work with anything just like a normal Sat Nav.

The iPhone application is jsut another option should you be interested in buying a Sat Nav.
