Introducing TomTom app for iPhone and iPod touch
Original iPhone and iPod touch users please note that in order for the app to work on your device, you’ll need the TomTom car kit with its built-in GPS receiver. Only the iPhone 3G and 3GS do not require the TomTom car kit for the app to function, as these models have GPS technology embedded.
You never leave the house without your iPhone or iPod touch. Now, everywhere you go, you can have the most advanced navigation technology to lead the way.
Turn every trip into a navigation experience to remember. The TomTom app puts award-winning technology at your fingertips, like IQ Routes™ which gives you the smartest, most efficient route for any time of day.
The world at your fingertips
Always be prepared for what's around the corner. The TomTom app comes with an up-to-date, detailed map of your region - and you can add worldwide locations to suit you*.
