TomTom already has iPhone navigation software ready to roll

Seems TomTom has been working hard getting an app for the app store ready, no word on when it will be available, but and I quote "We have tried, and it worked." "Our navigation system runs on the iPhone already"



Here's some sources for you:

Thats pretty sick but I already have a TomTom and I have the original iPhone.. This will only be available over 3G correct?

[huntor]

probably. im sure it only works bc of the a-gps.

[Apple iPie]

Wow! Awesome!

[Hellbuster]

i wonder... would the gps cost money? dose it use the mobile nett at the same way as when you call or surf the net? cause if it dose i'm going to get a HUGE bill every month xD

Ya but doesn't the SDK forbid real time guidance?

But maybe it'll will be on installer now

[sdmojaydo619]

So this wont work on our current iphones? Dang!

i just read this iPhone SDK agreement forbids real-time route guidance, dancing, rock'n'roll - Engadget

so now im confused

i'd assume you'd need to have the iphone 3G... however... with them saying "We have tried, and it worked." "Our navigation system runs on the iPhone already"... what other phone would they be able to test this on than the original iphone?

Probably this one

I wouldnt worry about what the SDK agreement says, im sure Apple did that on purpose because they prolly struck a deal with TomTom and want them as the sole supply. Plus Apple always puts weird things in their clauses. When itunes came out there was a clause not to use it to make nuclear weapons

Or any 1st gen with a external gps, like my holux connected with a cable.

[liquidcool]

thats too bad i dont plan on getting the 3g iphone

[swifty7]

so let me get this straight!!! the iphone sdk won't allow turn by turn navigation? THEN WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT OF HAVING NAVIGATION IN FIRST PLACE, SO WHAT'S NEXT?.....NO AUTO RE-ROUTING ALLOWED!!!!!!

APPLE'S 2ND GEN IPHONE CAN GO TO HELL!!!!
