Ive used quite a few of the available GPS apps and I can honestly say that this is the best out there in terms of usability. Some of the other competitors apps have big usability issues, and seems like clunky ports of their existing software to the iPhone. This TomTom app seems to be written from the ground up to be iPhone friendly. The issues that I have with this first version, however are: - The volume control for the voice overs doesnt work when plugged into a dock connector (like the one that you might plug into your car, for example). This makes it really annoying when youre trying to listen to some music at the same time, and then because the audio from the GPS is highly compressed (dynamic range compression), it deafens you. So youre left either listening to the whisper of music, or being deafened by the volume control. The volume control works when the dock connector is not plugged in, however. For reference, Im using a 32GB iPhone 3GS. - The font size of the readout down the bottom is too small. On some of the other GPS apps out there, the font size is nice and big and readable. - The speed limit in particular is too small. They have a a nice 32/60 km/h readout. But trying to focus in on the "60" (which is your current speed limit), is just too small. I much prefer the read out on other GPSs which have a big red speed limit sign posted on the top right of the GPS display, that also gives you a warning when youre over the speed limit. All in all, this is a great app. And it will be come my GPS of choice. I really hope they fix up these little niggly bugs. Its a little big annoying given that theyve had so many years to produce this software, but, I give them 4/5 stars until then.

Best GPS available - but a few bugs...
Great, but volume control through dock connector needs to work.
Im getting rid of my old GPS unit because this is so good. Just wish it wasnt so loud compared to the music and that the volume control through the dock worked. Also Id love to be able to install voices, custom POI sets and other things like the stand-alone TomToms. Id recommend it if you can live with the above.
App doesnt work in central Sydney!!!
I bought the app on the release date and have been trying to use it in any way possible. I have full signal and am in Sydney city and only ever get "poor gps signal" in the Tom Tom app which means that it wont work. As a result the app is useless. Really dissapointing and a huge waste of money. Pay the cash and buy a sat nav for your car from a physical store, but dont go Tom Tom brand!
does the job,but need lots of improvement
im fan of tomtom on my wm system, however i feel completely disappointed with tomto for iphone.crash a lot!!!!fix it tomtommmm. i would recommend s*gic at the moment.
The new 1.2 version does not even load
App was working perfectly for months now. Just upgraded to the latest 1.2 version and it shows the TomTom splash screen, then goes back to the iPhone finder. Its broken. DOES NOT LOAD. I would not recomend upgrading just yet.
Great!
Works so well that Im not going to bother with a standalone GPS any more. Recommended!
No real time traffic, unfair
No HD and real time traffic in this edition as other countries edition. Unfair!!! Please add it. I know you could .I have seen many gps with this function in the shop, includes tomtom.please it is really useful when we met a traffic jam unfortunately. It deserve five star if there is such function added.
