TomTom has updated its iPhone app, making it even better. Without further ado, here’s what the version 1.5 brings to the table:
- Navigate-to-photo – Simply select an image from the gallery and TomTom will know where to guide you using geo-tags associated with the photo.
- iPhone 4 support – Retina display is now supported, bringing high resolution graphics, sharper maps, more-responsive menus and improved positioning even in areas with limited GPS reception.
- Latest maps – The latest version of TomTom includes 1 million more miles of roads in the U.S. than competitive maps.
The rest of the features remain unchanged and include multi-tasking support (included with the iOS 4), advanced lane guidance (i.e. which lane you should take for an upcoming exit), IQ Routes that take into account current traffic conditions, street name announcements, and so on.
This update is for North American TomTom versions only, but I guess applications for other parts of the world will get the same (or at least similar) treatment in the near future, too.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
