johnny g Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Ouch! CoPilot is £22.99 or something, that's UK maps only though. Perfectly good for what I need (running that on Android, though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Good! Although, I just bought CoPilot (always like to have a backup Nav). CoPilot is very good, for what it is - but I have the TomTom maps for a lot more places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Last time I checked Clinton Cards were doing 2 x £15 iTunes vouchers for £20. So you can spend £40 and get £60 of iTunes store credit. Saying that there is CoPilot as some have mentioned and also Navigon. I'd have bought TomTom if it weren't for the price, I'm now waiting for some magazine or such to do a review of all three alongside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazz1 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I have the co pilot its ok not the best compared to a tom tom. I was thinking of paying 60 pounds but i already have 3 tom tom saT navs at home. My question is if you jail break the iphone someone told me you can download all the paid apps for free?

johnny g Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Nah, you can't. You can just install unofficial software - i.e. from places other than App Store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Have you tried it? maybe my tight mate who does not like paying for apps is talking crap than? Yes he is! I would also get it but the price is way to much, it would be better to get a standalone unit for a little extra. Thought I have to admit when I had Tom Tom on my MDA it was very handy when I got lost or decided to take a shortcut...no need to remember to bring the Tom Tom with you. I use to just squash the phone between the windscreen and the dash! No holder needed and no marks left on the wind screen for thiefs!

I went Thorpe yesturday and on the way back i decided to test the co-pilot, need i say it kept saying determining satalite position, in the end i just got home:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallshinyant Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 oh i did hear the guys on the This Week in Mac podcast talk about the Iphone's TomTom and some open source map options.. that may be worth a listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Man Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 you can get cracked version of paid app if you jail break the phone. I have been paying for all my iphone app so far but the tomtom 60 pounds is tempting me to do just that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Ouch! CoPilot is £22.99 or something, that's UK maps only though. Perfectly good for what I need (running that on Android, though). I bought it for my G1 but found it to be pretty buggy, phone would crash every time I took a call through the BT stereo whilst running copilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Just found you can get all paid apps free you have to jail break and hack another software again. I'm going to get mine done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaqTRD Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I've downloaded TomTom for my phone! Works great! I have the normal 3G rather than the 3GS and it works great! It does everything it should and picks up reception very quick! Best app for the iphone in my opinion! Saq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wipeout Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Thread resurrection!!! Hello people I'm due to upgrade my HTC Tytn mobile and have been looking at the iPhone however I use my installed TomTom software (Courtesy of Jake many moons ago) lots in the UK & US and feel like I might be taking a step backwards if it's not that reliable on the iPhone, I’ve never had any issues with it on the HTC, it's been rock solid and the speed camera warnings are invaluable. Has the iPhone Tom Tom app improved (bugs removed) since it's release last year and are the maps and speed camera warnings up to scratch? Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 i have the tom tom sat nav on my iphone, and yes, i have jailbroke and got it for free through installous, it is the exact app from the app store. i think it is pretty darn good tbh.

Dash Rendar Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 If you're phone is jailbroken, then you can install xGPS which is free (and legitimately free too). It's SatNav software that integrates with Google maps, with full dynamic updating, turn-by-turn instructions, etc. I think it's awesome and does the job very well, so I would certainly never consider paying for TomTom on my iPhone now.
