TomTom iphone navigator.

released august 17,2009-tomtom [link to get app].

The TomTom navigation app for the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS [iTunes link] has landed on the App Store. Available in five versions –including the US and Canada, Australia and New Zealand– its prices range from around $74 to $132.  Of course, that doesn’t include the announced car kit with bundled mapping software.The TomTom app for iPhone 3G and 3GS users includes a continental map of Europe or map of UK & Ireland from Tele Atlas, and is available to download through from £59.99GBP.

UK - From one iPhone PND app to another: details of TomTom’s upcoming iPhone cradle and its pricing have emerged, courtesy of a premature listingon Handtec’s site.  The accessory – first announced back at Apple’s WWDC in June – includes not only a windscreen mount but a charger, amplified speakers, hands-free kit and separate GPS dongle.

For that, Handtec will charge you £99 plus VAT ($168), though you also get a copy of the TomTom application for the iPhone.  We’re assuming that, like CoPilot Live for iPhone, that one-off charge covers ongoing use of the app, rather than it demanding a monthly subscription, but then stranger things have happened.

As has been observed, that price puts the TomTom iPhone system pretty much on a par with the company’s entry-level standalone PND units.  Of course, with those entry-level units you don’t get live data that TomTom will be able to incorporate by virtue of the iPhone’s 3G connection.
