TomTom U.S. & Mexico App Reviews

THIS READS EVEN THE SMALL OBSCURE LITTLE TOWNS IN MEXICO. FOR PEOPLE TRAVELING TO MEXICO BY CAR, THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST GPS IN THE IPHONE. ALSO THE FACT THAT YOU CAN LISTEN TO MUSIC FROM YOUR IPHONE IPOD WHILE YOU HAVE THE GPS GOING, IS GREAT. I LOVE IT. WORTH THE PRICE.

This app is GREAT... It works very well and doesnt use any data at all...It does need to update its point of interests though...It worked incredibly in Mexico City, Querétaro, and Hidalgo México...Google local search is awesome in both US and MEX...and can download directions from wifi to avoid expensive international data roaming charges.. I recommend, well woth the money!!!

I bought this application few days ago. Since the first time I tried to use it it didnt work. I realized that the GPS in my iPhone didnt work. I tried to fix that problem buying the Tomtom car kit. It works but just sometimes. Last thing I bought a new iPhone 3GS. Still with problems. I took the car kit back and Id like to get my money that I paid for this application back too, but because I wrote that I had a problem with the software, Apple sent me to Tomtom support. I tried two times and after 15 minutes waiting on the phone I hang up. Third time they asked me to take my iPhone to an Apple store to be checked. Nobody cares my problem. I dont want to know anything about Tomtom. Solution: I bought a real GPS,Garmin Nuvi, It works perfect.

I bought this app specifically to use at my trip to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico. This is a popular tourist destination and I expected "TomTom US and MEXICO" (note MEXICO in app title!) to have a maps for it. I was wrong! It only shows one major highway there. No streets, no city names. Completely useless and waste of money.

I bought this application thinking I would have large amount of Mexican cities (REYNOSA), but I was mistaken. It only covers some of the major cities in Mexico. The rest its major highways. I cant beleive that the maps on the Iphone have better street detail than this piece of garbage. Dont waste your money like I did.

USA maps: Perfect. Mexico bad news, not good. I bought this for a trip in California US. No complains there. But for Mexico city, street addresses are wrong, very wrong. Its a shame. I still recomend for US. Good luck.

A much improved upgrade. Application runs and renders maps significantly faster and GPS acquiring works wonderfully.

Mexico map has only major highways. Street level mapping in only the largest Mexican cities, and I know dedicated GPS units in Mexico show all the streets. I feel ripped-off on this app. Get us some @#%& Mexico maps in an update!

This refers to version 1.4.1. Menus structure work, but they are very awkward. This is an iPhone or iPad and it has to have simple menus at least on the first level. And instead of a bogus screen “No Route Planned (Done)” there should be a choice of routes - very old style of unfriendly computer interface. There are many quick tasks one wants to do while planning a trip or during driving (changing route, marking a spot) and these tasks should be very easily accessible. How about sending a destination address directly to the app on iPhone through notifications or over the air syncing. Despite some of the short comings the app is very good.

Only few cities in Mexico. They dont tell this when you buy it. Very Useless

Crashes on start up, been reading thats its a very common problem and they tell you that you must be at the newest firmware. They state it works on all 4.0 and later OS! Please fix!!! iPhone 4 on 4.1 FW.

On my recent trip up to Yosemite, the GPS went nuts a good hour of the time as we approached the Sierras. Insufficient signal? Maybe. Often, TomTom told us we were somewhere else -- another road, in the middle of nowhere -- and sometimes it thought we were going the opposite direction of what were were. (That was strange.) The software needs increased stickiness -- "I will never leave the road". It also needs to smooth things out -- if it is clear that the signal is weak, maybe it should be more suspicious of radical vhanges of location. "Hmm, user jumped from one highway to another, in spite of the fact that he has not yet reached the exit from one to the other ... I dont think so." Also, I am missing an off button. When I close the app, does it still do something? (Or did it just save the location and start again when the app powers up?) Would be great to integrate with Yelp. "You want to go to a really nice restaurant? We will show them on the map."

Only major cities in Mexico have complete maps, other cities show only principal roads or highways. This needs to be fixed as you are offering Mexico Maps!! Other than that, the app works fine, fix the maps and youll get better star rating

When updating road corrections through map share: the app crashes. I have 6785 road corrections and it will not download and install!!!!

As I went from LI north to Westchester, I take the Throgs Neck to the Bronx River pkwy. TT, has me on a different route. I wish I could set it to "record" a trip as Im driving, and save it.

Got around in cancun!

Dont waste your money on this app. I can never get a signal when using this app. I keep getting the message that there is no signal and the app will not guide me. I put a TOMTOM car navigation system right next to my iPhone in my car, and the car navigation always has a signal and the iPhone always says no signal. Now I have to figure out how to "return" the app and get my money back. Wish me luck.

Dont get excited about "celebrity voices". Its two voices. Homer Simpson and his boss whatever his name his. I wanted yoda! Mr. T!! Something to keep me up while driving. I hope they fix this.

This navigation has failed me dozens of times! Sends me to dead end roads and the address would be on the other side! I guess they have more roads than anyone else after all!

Bought this app just before a business trip to Houston. Houstons freeways rival LAs... this app guided me through every interchange perfectly every time. I also used it on a drive from Houston to Dallas. It performed extremely well on that trip also. Excellent user graphics as far as Im concerned, and all of the voice prompts were very timely. It does give you adequate time to prepare for lane changes and exits. Ive used it in some rural settings since and had no problem. Sometimes it does duplicate street names when you are doing a find, so you have to be careful to scroll down and make sure you pick the right one. Personally I would highly recommend this app.
