Copy and Paste Update Improves Ease of Use of TomTom Navigation App

TomTom has launched v1.11 of its Navigation app for the iPhone and iPad.

With this new version, customers will be able to navigate to addresses found on the Internet, search with foursquare, and get the latest TomTom maps. Simply copy an address and paste it into the app, and it will automatically work out the destination and direct you there.

Besides the new search facilities, the app's UI has been refreshed to make the app more intuitive. Foursquare has also been integrated, so users can search and navigate to their favorite foursquare places and check in to collect points on arrival.

TomTom has recently also launched a new Hands-Free Car Kit for iPhone. This car kit complements the app perfectly, with an in-built 2-watt speaker bringing high-quality audio to both navigational directions and hands-free calls. A new switch on the latest version of the app for iPhone means that drivers can quickly choose to stream their iPhone audio through to their car kit.

Customers with an older version of the Navigation app can download it for free. New customers can purchase the app for US$49.99 at the Apple App Store.
