As Tomtom have already released the software for the iphone, I realy think they should be cosidering the release of the holder onto the market ASAP. Any delays and I’m sure our Chinese friends will work it out and release their own version (guaranteed to be a lot cheaper)…..and who can blame them. The race is on!!

I bought the Navigon GPS software for $79.99 off the app store. I already has the Gokivo app, but that required a $9.99 per month fee to use the turn by turn features AND it still required an always on internet connection for some of the features, and when you get out of cell signal range or are stuck in flakey EDGE areas, that becomes a problem.

Personally, $80-$100 for an app like this (Navigon is 1.5 Gigs of mapping data) is very reasonable considering the amount of work that went into not only the software but the data.

I barely use GPS more than 3 times a month, if that, so Gokivo would have been a waste of money. With Navigon, or any other non-subscription based, pay once always have it Turn-By-Turn app, I really do save money in the long run.

Why would you pay anything over $99 for this? When you can get a really good dedicated one for around $149 with optional subscription fees. I see fees stacked on top of this thing.

Iphone – $30 data plan ($360 per year) GPS Unit – $ 200 GPS App – $ 19.99 Bullshit AT&T GPS for Iphone – $5.00 per year

where is the ( TEXT TO SPEECH ) I guess people dont understand what is text to speech, it is when the GPS says the name of the street instead of just left or right as shown on the iphone demo

Ok by far if Tom Tom has the application for one small fee they will get so much money it will not be funny. It would also be nice to see them beat AT&T with their free (paid application) for the navigation which people are saying is worse than google maps and it costs 10$ a month. If this app costs 20$ many people will join in however monthly harge is just a turn off ( huge one to be exact)

Hi Fred, wait untill you see the final features of the tomtom’s car kit, we may be lucky and the FM transmitter is also included on the carkit.

Well, at least is what this blog says: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/tomtom-car-kit-iphone-3g-s-3g-p20358.htm
