TomTom updated to 1.3 now with Google Local Search!
The AT&T Navigator app and TomTom are my two favorite GPS solutions; TomTom just took the lead with this most recent update.
One of the benefits of the AT&T Navigator app was the ability to search real-time and navigate to a location via the web. Now, TomTom is bringing us that functionality via Google Local Search, and more! Here is a list of changes in the most rescent update, 1.3:
- Real-Time traffic- The best traffic information available today (an additional $19.99)
- Google Local Search- Access the latest listings from within TomTom
- The Latest Maps- The most accurate map
- Music Fading- Instead of music pausing, it fades when navigation is spoken
- Automatic Day/Night Mode- TomTom now calculates the sunrise and sunset and changes the map accordingly
- Add Locations- From other apps and websites
There are some other nuances too such as button placement and how the iPod controls work, but they are definitely for the better. It is disappointing that the traffic component costs an additional $19.99, but to me the Google Search alone is worth this update. Check out some pics after the break!
