Navigon vs TOMTOM

**PeebaThC** · 10-31-2009, 11:33 PM

So after trying both //1st tomtom then navigon... then tomtom again
I decided to go with navigon... tomtom was just not creative enough to come up with a good name for the product =]
in reality, I 1st really liked tomtom and disliked navigon, but when I got used to the interface (navigon) tomtom seemed really lame..
and thats all i have to say on this topic, i have to go and punish my wife now... c ya...

tried both. tomtom is nice and quick... Navigon 1.2 lags really bad in the menus for me.. especially putting in postcodes... nasty!! so I went with tomtom..

What about Co-Pilot?

**fattyindoors** · 11-04-2009, 11:33 AM

I have been using co pilot and love it its a little slow at time but does so much more like lane control And camera detection if u can live wiv it a bit slow now n then id say its best nav ware out there well worth it and u can download maps

I use Tomtom because the logo is cooler. Oh...and i trust the name more than Navigon.

I think TomTom are going to have to come out with something pretty spectacular soon if they are going to survive long-term.

I see Google as potentially big players in this field.

Cuz the logo is cooler? Really?

**ThaNatrix** · 11-06-2009, 07:30 PM

Really...I enjoy a pretty logo. And I haven't had any problems with TomTom (except in heavy rain), and I've been unable to find a usable trial for Navigon North America.

**thetoothfairy** · 11-06-2009, 07:47 PM

I would like to see this logo can you capture a picture of it and post it?

**ThaNatrix** · 11-06-2009, 07:53 PM

Lol...its the standard appstore TomTom logo...just look it up there! I use the iboxcarbon theme though, which renders the background white

**thetoothfairy** · 11-06-2009, 08:06 PM

^ TomTom is not doing so good at 2 1/2 stars...

**ixbilalxi** · 11-08-2009, 06:40 PM

Not to mention, what name does Tom Tom have compared to Navigon.

If it were a Garmin app then i would say yeah i trust Garmin a lil more than navigon but Tom Tom, really is it cus they had a short spree of advertisements on tv a while back?

**cpjr** · 11-08-2009, 09:46 PM

TomTom is much bigger than Navigon here in the US....

With that said.....I use the Navigon app, as I think it is superior to TomTom's

I wish Garmin would release an app

I love my Nuvi 885.

**splodger15** · 11-09-2009, 02:13 AM

I use TomTom just because I trust the brand more

Can anybody, who is using Navigon, tell me how to turn the Reality view on?! I do not see any option as such. Do I need to install any other plugin or anything as such?!

Reality View comes up automatically.

**akash_nu** · 11-09-2009, 06:00 AM

Well, for me, it doesn't. Thats why I'm asking. Do I need to activate it somehow?!

**ixbilalxi** · 11-09-2009, 05:06 PM

Reality view comes up on various intersections that navigon sets up in reality view. So i dunno if there are many of these in the areas u live.

Or maybe u should know that reality view is not always on. Its just a guide for intersection with many onramps, exits, etc.

**cpjr** · 11-09-2009, 07:08 PM

Yeah the reality vew is usually only on major highway intersections and such....

**blkcadi** · 11-10-2009, 10:16 PM

Has anyone ponied up for the live traffic yet? I have been reading about it and not real sure about it. Wish they would have used like google traffic or something like I have on XM traffic in the caddy.
