TomTom navigator comes to Android devices
The well-known brand of navigators TomTom is now available as another app for Android One more application of the many that exist to convert our smartphone into a GPS. A navigator capable of guiding us to our destination with clear indications visually or by voice. The best thing about this tool is that it is very popular and it shows easy-to-follow graphical diagramsWorst? Which costs a pretty penny, whereas on Android we have a ton of such services for free. The TomTom Launch Offer is of 35 euros with the maps of the Iberian Peninsula and, afterwards, it will cost 50 euros To top it off, after three years and with 45% of the maps obsolete we will have to pay more for the mapsMeanwhile, Android phones come stock with the Google browser thatIt works very well and it's free And we can find many others that are free and more complete than TomTom as , for example, the Waze In any case, below we will discuss the most relevant features of this new tomtom service and, at the end, we will delve more into the free options that you can find in the store at Google
As we say, one of the best-known aspects of TomTom is the accuracy of its indications, in addition, TomTom quarterly updates its systems to pick up possible new routes.Some updates that, thank goodness, are free These maps also have a schematic visual appearance that helps the driver to be guided by all kinds of roads, even if they have different lanes and exits All this informing of the maximum speed at which you can drive, the data of vehicle speed, the time estimated arrival and next indication
It should be noted that these maps and operation of TomTom can be used offline And it is that they are installed in the terminal memory to avoid that, when losing mobile coverage, the user is lost, being able to continue your route without Internet In addition, it has 2D and 3D maps (perpendicular or inclined view) during driving so that the representation of the routes is more comfortable and intuitive, even indicating the names of the streets of our destinations
And here come the basic possibilities of this well-known browser. Issues quite general that we already find in other browsers on the market, as we said above, some of them completely free But they are not the only ones offered TomTom We can complete the possibilities of this navigator as long as we are willing to disburse a good amount of money Characteristics such as Traffic HD (capable of indicating in real time which sections count with traffic jams and withholdings) and Speed cameras (which warns of fixed speed camerason the road) can be purchased through in-app purchase. Again, features that can replace applications completely free.
Along with these issues, it is also critical that this version does not already have options seen in the version for iPhone, as is the possibility of configuring the user interface, the edition of maps or the establishment of personal points of interest, as some users suffer from.Issues that could arrive in next updates, but that are not currently included. In addition, it is possible that the latest terminals on the market present difficulties when using the TomTom application , since it does not support screen resolutionsgreater than 854 x 480
In short, an application awaited by fans of TomTomwho would rather pay through the nose to maintain browser signature graphics. However, many of these fans may be disappointed with an app that isn't quite tuned yet for the Android platform Something that worsens after having paid 35 euros just for the basic system of the Iberian Peninsula , as price of launch The different applications of TomTom, according to the necessary maps can already be purchased through Google PlayWould you be willing to buy the tomtom app with completely free alternatives like Google Navigation or Waze ?
