TomTom on Iphone, YesYes
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:

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?

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.
Don't be shy if I helped you use the Thanks button, I do it.

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!!!!Last edited by swifty7; 06-13-2008 at 11:00 PM.
