Leak: TomTom iPhone App Price
How much for an iPhone-powered TomTom satnav? That’s the question that has been on the lips of many an iPhone user ever since TomTom announced it was developing a version of the market leading turn-by-turn satellite navigation system especially for the iPhone. Now, it seems, we are a little closer to knowing the answer. I just hope you are sitting down before I reveal it.
How much for an iPhone-powered TomTom satnav?

Now, it seems, we are a little closer to knowing the answer. I just hope you are sitting down before I reveal it.
According to one online retailer which has broken ranks and gone public with pre-order pricing, if you want an iPhone-powered TomTom satnav in your car it will cost you a cool £113.85 ($193.75) or which works out to £99 ($168.50) plus tax. Which is not, by a long shot, the most expensive iPhone app.
xGPS – Turn by Turn Navigation for iPhone
While the iPhone and Maps do provide turn by turn driving directions, it is not true turn by turn. The user has to advance the directions manually. This is not safe, especially while driving, and even more dangerous when you have no idea where you are. You know in an instant that you might actually need turn by turn directions.
xGPS looks to fill in that gap left by Apple.
I tried this app for three days with the same results. The use current location never worked for me when trying to get directions to somewhere. The addresses had to be input manually. That wouldn’t be so bad by itself, but if you stop at a light for too long or take a wrong turn you get this error.
Which means you have to manually input the addresses again ( good thing I had hClipboard installed ) I tried to and from multiple locations every time i got in the car for three days. I always got the same results. I wrote the dev hoping they could help me sort out my issues and get the app working correctly. I even mentioned that it was for this review thinking that they would want to put their best foot forward, but alas I got no reply. The app does work if you just need a map that will show you where you are, and rotates to give you the correct view. (I know that is the biggest hurdle for those that have trouble reading maps) It will tell you close to how fast you are going, but that can be hit or miss also, I got a reading of 114 mph while making a turn in a school zone. xGPS has potential and the Cydia link says there will be an update sometime around the 20th of this month. At this point I would have to give this app a rating 1 out of 10.
