News: TomTom’s world first

TomTom has demonstrated what it claims to be the first dedicated in-car navigation solution for iPhone at the Worldwide Developers Conference.

The TomTom iPhone application is a turn-by-turn navigation tool.

Peter-Frans Pauwels, TomTom’s co-founder and CTO, demonstrated TomTom’s navigation software in combination with a specially designed car kit on the iPhone during Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco on June 8th, 2009.

The TomTom solution combines two new TomTom products to provide users with state of the art in-car navigation on their iPhone 3G:

The first is the TomTom navigation application for iPhone, an Apple version of TomTom’s award-winning turn-by-turn navigation software, including IQ Routes and latest maps from Tele Atlas.

The second is the TomTom car kit for iPhone, a specially developed car kit for secure docking, enhanced GPS performance, clear voice instructions, hands-free calling and in-car charging.

The TomTom navigation application for iPhone will be available via the Apple iTunes App Store, following the release of Apple’s OS 3.0 operating system.
