<\/a><\/p>\nIf you look at the image above, you will not be able to recognize that it is a navigation app. With everyone (almost) on some social networks, it is no wonder that TomTom steers into this direction.<\/p>\n
New to version 1.10 of the TomTom App for iPhone and iPad:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Uses Facebook places, events and friends as a source of turn-by-turn navigation.<\/li>\n
- Enables drivers to share their destination and arrival time on Twitter, Facebook, by email and SMS text.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Of course, it still maintains the function of the old app like:<\/p>\n
- \n
- The latest, most accurate maps available \u2013 with no need for a mobile signal or data plan.<\/li>\n
- Free daily map changes from the TomTom community through Map Share.<\/li>\n
- Reliable arrival times at all times of day with IQ Routes.<\/li>\n
- Real-time camera alerts via TomTom Speed Cameras.<\/li>\n
- A powerful search with Google\u2122 and Facebook.<\/li>\n
- Clear turn-by-turn guidance while on the phone thanks to iOS Multitasking support.<\/li>\n
- Seamless integration with contacts, photos, music, email and calendar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
What do you think? I am worried about people getting too engrossed with these social networks and not drive carefully.<\/p>\n
