We have been waiting for a long time. They were the first to introduce us to turn-by-turn navigation software. They are probably the last people to make this software available in the App Store. I’m talking about Tom Tom ofcourse. The software can now be downloaded through the App Stores of U.S., Canada, New Zealand, Australia and Europe. But will it be worth the money?

» Update: Tom Tom Navigation Software Finally Arrived! (+ video)

TomTom has send an e-mail with an important message. It seems something is going to be revealed in September the 22nd. It is unclear what it is, but I think this could be the TomTom navigation software application for the iPhone. On the Twitter page Brightsite, the dutch website Bright.nl thinks it is the TomTom carkit. Back at the WWDC in June this year TomTom revealed their application and said it will be available this summer. The 22nd of September is the first day of autumn.

While TomTom should have been the first, it looks like it’s waiting to be the last. Maybe they  can surprise us with something special, but I think they waited to long. Another navigation  app will find its way to the App Store soon: Navmii.

A couple of days ago Xpgs 1.2 was finally released in Cydia. A lot of new features have been added. Most of them have been posted previously. One thing which hasn’t been mentioned is a new way to create itinerary called Routes manager. Using this function you can compute and save routes for offline use. It let you choose places and addresses as starting and ending point. Please notice that there is currently no support for routes with more than one starting and one ending points. It’s due to a Google limitation and we are working on it.
