TomTom or MobileNavigator for iPhone (three weeks on)
So I have noticed that this subject has got me many brownie points with Google so i thought I’d blog about it again, this time after using MobileNavigator a few times and also playing around briefly with TomTom.
On the whole I’m pretty happy with MobileNavigator, the only thing, I suppose, that annoys me a little is how it doesn’t take the full post code (bit like a zip code but more precise I think) which can be annoying if you don’t know the street you’re going to. But having said that it’s not really been an issue like I thought it would.
The interface is nice to use, it’s got a good database of services, restaurants, garages, pubs, shops, etc etc, and allows you to find the nearest one during a journey.
They have also recently provided a free update that gives us text to speech voice guidance, automatic day and night (not sure I understand the point of day and night modes though full stop…), integrated ipod control and the ability to send your location via email.
Overall I think it was a good purchase, nice to use, gets you from a to b and was cheaper then TomTom. I’ve not really used the TomTom much so I suppose not a totally fair review, friends who have it seem to like it. Don’t think the interface is as clear though I have to say!
