Seriously, why in the heck would you be checking Facebook or your photos while driving?? Most people with a TomTom or any other navigation device, only use it in the car and that's it. No need for all that stuff while you're driving.]]>Apr 29th 2010 8:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/tomtom-reveals-plans-for-app-store-in-battle-against-smartphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/tomtom-reveals-plans-for-app-store-in-battle-against-smartphone/Is it going to update your status while your drive?

"I just totally turned right at the light. Saved 4 minutes on my trip!"

"Traffic is horrible. Going to take an alternative route!"

"10 minutes from my destination....Then it time for a Lost marathon!"

tomtom gps UI is slick and far better than garmin, or google if i might say. they should focus on enhancing the user experience and add functionality that really creates differentiation in this crowded market.

In all seriousness, this thing is a joke. TomTom doesnt seem to understand that the only way to truly beat the navigating smartphone club is to join 'em. They have to either 1-up google maps navigation in a free package of their own, or partner up with a phone maker and do their own blend of navigation phone like garmin is.]]>Apr 29th 2010 8:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/tomtom-reveals-plans-for-app-store-in-battle-against-smartphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/tomtom-reveals-plans-for-app-store-in-battle-against-smartphone/Apr 29th 2010 9:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/tomtom-reveals-plans-for-app-store-in-battle-against-smartphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/tomtom-reveals-plans-for-app-store-in-battle-against-smartphone/Apr 29th 2010 9:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/tomtom-reveals-plans-for-app-store-in-battle-against-smartphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/tomtom-reveals-plans-for-app-store-in-battle-against-smartphone/Apr 29th 2010 9:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/tomtom-reveals-plans-for-app-store-in-battle-against-smartphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/tomtom-reveals-plans-for-app-store-in-battle-against-smartphone/Apr 29th 2010 9:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/tomtom-reveals-plans-for-app-store-in-battle-against-smartphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/tomtom-reveals-plans-for-app-store-in-battle-against-smartphone/
I just don't get it. Everyone keeps posting "What about the person who ISN'T driving"?

What about them? They can use his/her OWN device for playing. I don't want them tying up my GPS tweeting. If I bought a GPS and it's in my car, it's because I need it for navigation.]]>Apr 29th 2010 9:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/tomtom-reveals-plans-for-app-store-in-battle-against-smartphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/tomtom-reveals-plans-for-app-store-in-battle-against-smartphone/Apr 29th 2010 9:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/tomtom-reveals-plans-for-app-store-in-battle-against-smartphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/tomtom-reveals-plans-for-app-store-in-battle-against-smartphone/Apr 29th 2010 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/tomtom-reveals-plans-for-app-store-in-battle-against-smartphone/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/tomtom-reveals-plans-for-app-store-in-battle-against-smartphone/

A hardware GPS is expected to do only one thing but do it very well and very a good price - should be no more than $100.
2. GPS software for phones and tablets should be their other focus.
Build one for every major mobile/tablet platform.

This GPS App Store is a distraction from their core focus.

Need a solution for navigation on my Pre that does not incur data and can load maps locally, so I can use it abroad.

Get your priorities straight, Tomtom.
