Back at the IFA conference which took place at the end of August, TomTom announced that they were finally going to jump aboard the Android bandwagon and release their own navigation Android app for Android powered devices. At that time, the release date was estimated at a couple of months but, it’s only been just over a month and now TomTom are happy to announce the release of their app onto the Google Play Store.
Google have just released their latest update to the Google Maps Android app, which comes as standard on any Google certified Android device these days. One of the main new features of this particular update is the ability to sync your map searches with the browser that you use on your PC which makes searching for previously typed addresses even quicker as you no longer need to retype the address out again, saving valuable time and effort.
There may already be a plethora of navigation apps available for use on Android devices such as Co-Pilot, Garmin and of course Google’s own map and navigation system, for example. TomTom, one of the leaders in navigational equipment generally however, are now at last also ready to jump aboard the Android bandwagon and will be releasing their own Android App in a couple of months time.
Route 66 and TomTom joined together last year to utilize their collective talent to bring us Android apps like this new GPS app. It uses TomTom’s excellent mapping system and is packed with features. The best features include 3d navigation, maps of over 100 countries, spoken directions in 57 languages, and a new “follow me” feature.
