Re: Why are people using TomTom
The only advantage I've found of the TomTom app on the iPhone is that you can download the maps so it doesn't use your mobile data allowance and means it works when there is no data coverage.
However, that's about it and in no way should anyone take this as a ringing endorsement of TomTom. For some reason the routing and re-routing in response to traffic is shite in the app compared to TomTom's dedicated devices and the TomTom app can struggle to find obscure things like roads, streets, towns and businesses. It doesn't admit this when you search for stuff; it just confidently guides you to somewhere you didn't want to go and tells you that you have reached your destination.
